amazing how and under what circumstances formed leadership qualities in a man.In what proportions they should be mixed, to get a person devoid of self-doubt and his own abilities, active in any manifestation, thinking outside the box, and capable of acting decisively to rally any disparate groups for a common goal?
leader can be any, because the quality, which will be mentioned below, in varying degrees, are present in every human being.But as it turned out, not everyone is suitable and not all comfortable with this role.
Terminology
leader (from the English. Leader - "the leading, first going ahead") - a person in a group is highly respected and has the effect of which is shown as a control action.
leading role, the ideological mastermind and mentor terribly tiring for most of the inhabitants.For most, but not for a leader - a man who has powerful energy over the edge and looking for applications.
So, who is he?
Key leadership qualities
Psychologists have studied in some detail this topic and came to the unanimous conclusion that all the ideological mastermind inherent fundamental traits.
leader - a man who combines:
- confidence. rightly or not at all, but the leader is absolutely no reason not to believe in themselves.His confidence is contagious - being confident in himself, he is feeling and inspires the people around him.
- energy and persistence. not such a rare quality, but coupled with the self-confidence it gives great results.The man dropped his hands at the first obstacle - a whiner.The man accused of the failures of others - a psychopath.A man who knows how to analyze their failures and moving on - the market leader.It is so only because of their persistence and perseverance.
- charm, charisma. very unimportant human qualities, agree.Before you begin to lead, the leader must first catch the others, to please them.Unfortunately, it has attractive features emotional person is unlikely to be a real leader.
- ability to persuade. be able to competently and effectively express their thoughts - is a science, and the ability to invest in other people's ideas on their heads so that people mistake them for their own - is an art.Of course, having such a gift a man can be called a manipulator, but the leader is essentially a puppeteer, a leading mass in his right direction.
- Initiative. leader - is an active, energetic man with a lot of dreams and willing to fulfill all of them in life.A real find for any team!
- responsibility. This is a fundamental quality of man, which is the basis of all leadership pyramid shape.After all, if all the above qualities will be no liability for actions committed, it is not a portrait of the leader will, and poseur, windbag and a braggart.The present leader of the team willing to answer for the consequences of any of its undertakings.
Where is intelligence?
you noticed that among the above is absolutely no qualities such as intelligence or mental abilities ?According to many scientists, it is not necessarily the quality of the portrait of the leader.The most important condition for the successful leadership - be a little more intelligent than others.With a fairly large gap intellectually leader and his entourage reverse reaction occurs - the crowd rejects zaznayku, and to become the leader of the boring work with "raw material".
leader and head - the same thing?
Reading the article, many of you probably already tried on the portrait of the leader to his head.Coincidences happen, but very rarely.Does this mean that we are led by people who are not able to lead the casual?The causal relationship, if run by random people, then it turns out ineffective leadership.
Let's face it.Head leader in nature, of course, there is."The Beast," he seldom occurs more in the central part of Russia (ambition haunt, and leadership call to conquer the capital).The farther away from the white stone, the more calm and measured become our leaders.Leadership in their characters are present, but not at the maximum value.How did they manage to lead?
The task is solved in one action, and the answer is simple: the leaders of competent rescue personnel decisions.Indeed, what could be easier - if I lack a certain quality, need to find a person with them, and take it to work.This is precisely what the thinking head, the leader of the team.It does not suffer from the idea of organizing, vzaimouravnovesheny all the components and objectives are achieved.
leader in your organization, do not think about the future of their offspring, he takes to his work brother, friend, lover, than discredit not only themselves, but also the company.
women leaders: a gift from heaven, or punishment?
How jokingly assured experts, the woman in order to succeed, you have to be not just a clever and cunning, it must be above any man two heads.This statement makes sense, because the gender approach and taxis here.
independent group of scientists experimentally proved that the members of the fairer sex is very difficult to lead.The group of subjects tucked "leader" first female, then male.In both cases, the decoy leader had to take the reins in their own hands and urging the test, bring them to the problem.During the test, it was found out that others agree quite favorably perceived desire to lead, coming from the man.They allow you to take the upper hand over them, and more likely to agree with his point of view.While active women, anxious to lead, causing the majority of the surrounding aversion and irritation.
Not surprisingly, the women leaders in the competition with the opposite sex have to mask their weaknesses.They acquire masculine traits, male management style, men's habits.A kind of a protective reaction.
Can a leader be in subjection?
very interesting question, agree.After all, if a man of ambition and self-confidence more than the hair on his head, he will be able to submit to the demands of another person, their boss?
Indeed, the informal leader - is a big problem for the incumbent leader.It is, by its nature, can not simply stand by and will undermine the authority of the current head of every day and every minute.The informal leader - a man who is himself a hostage of his charisma.
course, you can get rid of such interference by layoffs, but if even a rebel and a good specialist, it is reasonable to find another use for its energy.Encourage your child to take the place of the head of the trade union organization, assign it responsibility for fire safety and occupational safety.Believe me, you will not regret.Empowerment and the authorities to ensure certain satisfaction ambitions informal leader.To criticize it is you, of course, did not stop, but only in the case.And besides, it is not necessary to sweep aside all the informal leader said in his address - his brain is designed so that it clearly sees disadvantages in management.Therefore it is better "to shake into their heads" and take into account.
Can I raise a leader?
Of course you can, but first you need to decide whether so you need it.
The current number of courses and workshops for the development of personal qualities of the person who wants to offer every one to two weeks to raise a leader.This, as psychologists claim, promises social importance, fame and attention.Many of these training sessions really need and help.But there is a chance that the person passing such courses, a shock and stress, if in the course it turns out that he was not born to be in charge.
summarize
In sum, it is safe to say that the problem of leadership is very versatile.From a psychological perspective, the leader - is a hostage of his boundless energy.They have often insecure, his life is full of unexpected events, it is always in the midst of events, but that a true leader only gets a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Praise fearless world go round!
