Have you gone through a Great Leader in your Professional Life?

In this year, I would like to start my articles from a non-technical and the most important concept called Leadership. Leadership is apparently a gift by nature and many people develop this skill from their role models as well. Role Models cannot always be a known person or a Leader rather you can adhere your leadership skills from Nature. In this article, I want to detail few leadership skills which I have come across in my life.

“Leadership is neither a position nor a title rather it’s a skill to be acted as an example”

There is chance of remembering your Boss or Leader while reading the following sections and it can be a positive or negative experience. “Not Judging People” is the top quality of leadership. From your experience, you should not judge your leader because a leader is not for a single person rather a team or organization.

Multiverse Vs Solar System

The multiverse is a group of multiple universes including the universe in which we live and Solar System is a micro-dot of a universe which has a star with planets orbiting it. Do you understand why I give this comparison here? In our Solar System, Sun is a giant and planets in variable sizes are rotating around it. Sun has enough energy to serve all planets, its moons and other flying objects. If there is no Sun, Solar System does not exist.

“I strongly believe that leadership should not be like a Solar System”

What is happening in Multiverse? There are a lot of universes, operating independently, for a common goal and the goal is continuously expanding themselves. If one of the universes has vanished, rest are contently operating on their goals. Great Indeed! Leadership is not having more people to report and manage huge number of professionals. It is ‘Believing and Empowering’ people to operate independently for achieving organization goal.
Many Leaders accept Multiverse is the best leadership but they think that it is practically impossible to have a control on organization goal. In this case, leaders must think how MNCs are operating in different geographic, culture and leaderships to achieve their common goal.

“In simple, leadership is that operating MNCs within their team or organization”

Core Leadership Skills

This diagram is pretty straight forward to understand the core skills of Leadership.

What Great Leaders Always Consider!

• Micromanagement is simply wasting everyone’s time
• “Yes Employees” are always trouble makers than bringing positives 
• Not afraid of receiving honest feedbacks and different opinions
• Appreciating Good Work without Ego
• Spending more time with Team Members than Superiors
• Believing and Investing in People
• Being Examples than Claiming Expertise 
• Money and facility cannot make everyone happy in the organization
• Handling critical situations by humor sense
• Having strong strategy for long-term goal instead of dynamic changes
• Not considering themselves as experts in everything and believe in delegating 

Finally!

Having a bad boss increases the chance of having Heart Attack by 60%, a study says. Also it says that 56% of employees stay because of their good bosses and leaders though it is a bad organization. Being a Great Boss or Great Leader is not for others, it must be for themselves. Being Grateful to the employees would definitely make a good leader than having fancy designations and powers.
