A leader is one who creates the mood and atmosphere and knows why he is doing it. Leaders are not born, they are made. To become a leader, you need to develop some leadership qualities. Sometimes work on these qualities can seem very slow and difficult, then you want to drop everything and retreat. But this is wrong, since it is not only possible, but even necessary to engage in the development of leadership qualities. So what are the qualities of a leader?
1. Who owns the information, he owns the world. You have to learn all the time. Learn from mistakes, and not only from yours, but also from others. Take an interest in how the people you think are leaders are doing. Analyze their deeds and actions. Make more friends, communicate more. Friends are never superfluous. When communicating, analyze the information you receive, as it may be useful.
2. It is important to understand people, to feel their mood, to understand the meaning of their words. Even talking to a completely random person can be very rewarding. Sociability is the ability to communicate and find a common language with different people and unite them with one goal.
3. Show interest in the person's personality and interests. Relationships with people should be equal and respectful. Everyone should understand and feel their importance in the common cause. A leader is a person who not only competently distributes responsibilities for participation in the life of the team, but is also always ready to help, prompt, add confidence.
4. A leader is a self-confident person. Without a sense of confidence, you can never become a leader. In the face of difficulties, the leader cannot stop or pass. It is perseverance that helps to solve any problems. Confidence can always be developed in absolutely any person. Confidence is recognized by voice, by gestures. Speak clearly, clearly and specifically, keep straight, and look the other person in the eye. Never use words in a conversation that could raise doubts. The voice should be calm and even.
5. Know how to resist obstacles. A leader also needs endurance. Under no circumstances should you lose heart, you should always stand your ground. You need to understand that there are defeats, after which you need to move on.
6. Calmness. The leader must be cold-blooded. Difficult situations are inherent in every leader. A leader will never allow you to lose control over yourself, over your emotions. To do this, exclude everything negative from life, communicate only with those who are pleasant to you. Remember, if, when communicating with people, you delve into their problems, then you take them upon yourself. A leader should be guided not by emotions, but by reason, for this he should always be calm.
7. Sometimes it is quite difficult to say “no”, but sometimes it is simply necessary to do it. If you cannot say no, then it needs to be learned. Know how to defend your innocence and say "no" when necessary, be able to make decisions.
8. Initiative and dedication should be the leader's companions. Even if you just go to the grocery store, you should be clear about what and how much you should buy. Set specific goals for yourself that have a deadline. Think positively, but to achieve your goal you need to not only think, but also act.
9. You need to be able to take responsibility, and responsibility for absolutely everything: for your actions, for your words, for your thoughts, for your actions. You cannot shift responsibility to others or to chance. If you are a leader, then prepare yourself for great responsibility.
10. Have information about what is happening in the team. Know how to organize. There can be different situations in a team, very often they are negative. The leader's role is to maintain a comfortable psychological climate in the team. You need to be able to extinguish all the bad and help to find understanding. This is a rather difficult task, since people are different, hostility can arise. The leader must be able to reconcile the warring parties, and if this is impossible, he must minimize their contact at work.
