LEADER

Anyone can become a leader, but not everyone has leadership qualities. A successful leader possesses leadership qualities. On the one hand, a leader has to be able to convince the people, about his idea but on the other hand if he can not convince them, then has to be courageous enough to feel sorry and accept that he may be wrong. A true leader never says no to any challenge that comes his way. He is not disappointed due to failure. He tries again and again and never gives up. A leader should always try to make intimate relationships with his people and be helpful in their difficult times. True leadership happens as a consequence of love, sacrifice, devotion and kindness.

Leadership is a process of self-development. Being genuine to who you are is fundamental to the role of a leader. As a leader, you have to be clear, confident and consistent about your idea of who you are. Self-actualisation is achieved through self-concept clarity which is a byproduct of self-analysis. The more we know ourselves, the more we know others. The more we know others, the more we know ourselves. This is a kind of feedback loop which enhances self-awareness and self-worth, to become congruent with the ideal self. Therefore, interpersonal communication plays a great role in the process of self-development. True leadership qualities are established when a leader reaches the full potential of self-development where self-concept, self-worth and ideal self all sync and become complementary to one another.
