Leaders are those who have the greatest authority, have the greatest influence over the members of a particular group, and are able to make important decisions. Often these abilities are considered innate, but in fact most of them are the result of increased self-improvement.
Instructions
Step 1
Work on developing self-confidence. Record all your achievements on a daily basis and look for various solutions to problems that happen on your life path. For example, before going to bed, you can write down in a notebook everything that you have achieved so far and that which did not work out very well. This exercise will help you discover weaknesses in your character and make a plan for self-development.
Step 2
Learn to demonstrate self-confidence to those around you. When talking, make sure your voice is clear, even and moderately loud. Also, control the content of your words (they should not have a shade of uncertainty, excessive softness and unnecessary excuses) and body position. During communication, look the other person in the eyes, keep your head straight, and relax your shoulders a little.
Step 3
Fear often gets in the way of developing leadership skills. It is necessary to fight with your fears and forget about the existence of such arguments as "I am satisfied with everything," or "I definitely won't succeed," etc. Fear is a very strong feeling, so you need to start with small actions, for example, try to cook some delicious exotic dish, get yourself an unusual haircut, or change your image.
Step 4
Train in yourself the ability not only to make decisions, but also to think over what their consequences will be. To learn how to make the best decisions, think over as many alternatives as possible and what advantages each of them has.
Step 5
Constantly strive for self-development (in general and professionally), accumulation of life experience and baggage of versatile knowledge. Be observant and learn from those who are established leaders and worthy of respect. Read more and attend various cultural events.
Step 6
Develop communication skills - make new acquaintances, communicate with people as much as possible. In the process of communication, you can enrich yourself with new knowledge. In addition, you will gradually begin to develop a quality that is quite important for a leader - the ability to understand the mood of people and what they think about.
