True Leadership Lies In Guiding Others To Success
The
leader-follower connection is diversity as, leaders cannot exist without
followers and nor can the followers exit without leaders. A successful
leadership is a product of increased follower efficiency and effectiveness
through their leadership influences. Maslow helps leaders understand this
connection with followers through his Hierarchy of needs. Maslow focused more
on the whole person of the follower and leader and saw them as people with “values”
and people who make “choices.” Leaders cannot change the “values” of followers
but they can understand them. Leaders cannot force the “choices” of followers
but they can guide them.
“A Leader is one who
knows the way, goes the way and shows the way”
A
leader is someone that many people look to for direction, guidance, and
inspiration, so it is important for our leaders to have the aptitude to make
difficult decisions and to know and do what is right for the people. An
effective leader has character, competence, compassion, and courage.
CHARACTER
:- A person’s true character is who they are when they are put in a difficult
situation. It is the decisions and the morality of a leader that gives them the
respectable character that others look to follow. It is essential for a leader
to have character because a leader needs the ability to see what other cannot,
the sacrifices that must be made, even if the sacrifice is their own, or
another person’s life.
COMPETENCE
:- Competence means that one knows what must be done. It is possessing the
skills to do ones task properly. This quality is vital for a leader because
they are the people that command others. If they themselves do not know what
their job is, it will be difficult to properly instruct others.
COMPASSION :- Compassion is important for a leader to have because
when the people see that the leader cares for them, they will be more trusting
of the decisions that he makes. Also, recognizing and taking the time to
acknowledge them will make the people want to do their job properly and to the
best of their ability. They will know that the leader is concerned with each
person’s weaknesses and will take them into account when making decisions. True
compassion from a leader will inevitably lead to trust from their followers.
COURAGE
:- Courage is described as having the strength both mentally and physically to
do something that most people could not do. It is imperative for a leader to
have courage because as a leader, they have to make decisions that are
dangerous or harmful. It takes true courage to not only make the decision but
also to fulfill it. For example a commanding officer in a battle of war, his
battalion is in full enthusiastically motivated and encouraged by their leader
to achieve in their setup goal.
As
there are different Leadership styles used by different situational leaders who
are achieving goals by creating a direction and inspiring followers to take
initiative and make the right decisions.
