The art of leadership

There’s a saying” bend the tree while it is young; long afterwards it cannot be done.” A young plant which is bent grows into a crooked tree, while a plant that is strait grows into tall, straight tree. The kind of men and women we may be in the future depends on the character and personality we develop while we are still young, that’s why it is very important that we develop early in life clean, healthy habits, good character traits, a strong personality and wholesome attitude towards life and our fellow men.

Often times we experience to be a follower and a leader. Leadership entails various responsibilities. and the best question we can ask to our selves is” how can I become a good leader?” The leader is a great servant. One of the great philosophers expressed the ideal leadership in a democratic way when he said; and whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant.

The leader sees thing trough the eyes of his followers. He pots himself in their place and helps them make their dreams come true. The leader does not say” get going” instead he says” lets go.” And leads the way. He does not walk behind instead he is out in front with a banner.

The leader duplicates himself in other. He is man builder that help his follower to grow big because he think that the more big the organization has the stronger it will be. The leader ha fait in people. He believes in them and brings out the best in them. He makes them rise high expectations.

The leaders use his heart as will as her head. After he has looked at the facts with his head, he lets his heart feels, hear and look too. He is not only boos he is also a friend.

The leader is a self starter. He create plans and sets them in motion. He both a man of thought and a man of action. dreamer and a doer. The leader has a sense of humor. he can laugh at himself. He has a humble spirit.

The leader can be led. He has a open mind and heart. He’s not interested in having and doing his own way. But he is always finding the best way.

The leader keeps his eyes on high goals. He strives to make the effort of his followers and himself contribute to the enrichment of personality, the achievement of more abundant living for all and the improvement of the civilization.
