How leader is doing is
big different from what manager is doing. Leader is leading while manager is
following. Leader is doing the right thing while manager doing the thing right.
Leader prefers the blur colour while manager and simple people prefer clear
white, red or black colour. What are such qualities to be a great leader in
business and all positions? We have ten traits of greater’s norm:
CEO or leader share
values and attitudes whereas managers and boss share only skills and knowledge.
Find out those intrinsic values with us now.
a). Leaders Works with Blurriness: Very often
people want a clear cut decisions, great leaders would like to see a
combination of grey shadow. Successful leaders are able to handle apparent
contradictions in tension. They use these paradoxes to come up with innovative
ideas.
b). Leaders Like Blank Sheets of Paper: Managers
and simple boss use given policies and procedures to guide them to make a
proper decision. They prefer a clear instruction so that they could do and
succeed it on time. In contrast, great leaders create a white paper so that
managers can pen on it with any colour. Every leader wants something from
scratch so that they can have such unique, innovative idea.
c). Leaders love people around them but need a
challenging one: Unlike boss who only prefer the staffs that like to listen to
them, leaders would love to see challenges from people around them, and this
means leader would like to hire the most challenging people. They don’t if
today’s challenger might be tomorrow’s rival. Challengers give leader new idea
always.
d). Leaders Prefer Choices: Diversity is the
best and only options for great leaders. Diversity springs unique thinking. A
team of ten’s head is much better and a team of hundred people but one dominant
brain.
e). Leaders like to see the facts: Although it’s
good or bad, successful leader are always welcome it. They wanted to know how
they have gone; what’s wrong with their policies; where and how to fix it etc.
The real facts can answer lots of question that have been asked long ago. The
facts share big pie of the doubts.
f). Leaders Tie Their Necks Out: Leaders are
always at the front. If something went wrong, they will come forward and be
responsible for it. They do not blame other, neither the material. Best leaders
will say from their heart that it’s their fault and they would like to fix it.
They will not run away from the troubles.
g). Leaders is Themselves. Whereas successful leader seeks for opinions
from their fellow guys, they are profoundly believe in themselves. They are
confident in their power of making decision. They are themselves. After all,
it’s leader that makes this final decision and it’s them.
h). Leaders are Critical. Boss’s role is to
get things done. Manager’s role is to get thing done right and look if it
follows from what leader has set out. Great leaders are different in many
senses. They don’t know how to get things done right but they know they are
doing the right thing. They are not specialist like Boss or Manager but they
are very visionary and very curious about new thing. They like to invent new
and unique stuffs. In their head, they only think about something that has
never done before.
i). Leaders are Honest with Themselves:
Self-identified is the most vital for leaders. Leaders know for sure who they
really are. They love and trust themselves more than anybody else. They
encourage themselves; they inspired and they give opportunity themselves to
restart everything.
j). Leaders are
Loving-kindness persons. The very last and most important trait for all great
and successful leader is being a loving-kindness person ever. Having a sympathy
mind and compassionate love towards other people regardless skin colour, races,
background, and status allow great leader to stay closer to people and get
everything learn very quick. It also allows him or her to communicate with
surrounding environment very smoothly. Very powerful as have said by John
Maxwell, loving-kindness will help everything work smoothly and that co-workers
are working not because they are forced to do it but because they are proud to
do it.
