GREAT LEADERS ARE TYPICALLY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING THEIR OWN WAY.  RATHER THEY WANT THE BEST WAY.
 
Many people hold an oversimplified idea about what leadership means.  Some think it’s just a matter of guiding others to complete a task. Others confuse it with motivation.  In truth, leadership is a complex blend of competencies and capabilities.  It means communicating and empathizing, directing and modeling, teaching and mentoring—and, above all, trusting and serving.
 
There are a few qualities, though, that can kill even strong leadership.  Here are few of the deadliest…
 
  • Not listening
  • Revenge
  • Arrogance
  • Disrespect
  • Ingratitude
  • Favoritism
  • Poor communication
  • Conceit
  • Rigidity
  • Shortsightedness
 
Most of us do struggle with one or more of these things.  Stop and think about your own leadership at home, at work, or in life in general.  Do you struggle with any of these things?  If so, begin by first taking responsibility for leading yourself by having the humility to get feedback from people you trust.  Then as you begin making improvements, take note of how much better you become in connecting with your followers.  Why not bring more purpose and joy to yourself and those that you influence?

Different peoples are having different perceptions on leadership. Some people take it as a matter of directing others to finish the task, where as others muddle it with inspiration. But in truth, headship is a tangled mixture of ableness and adeptness. It means communing and understanding, captaining and creating, enlightening and instructing and, above all, unsuspecting and helping. Moreover, it's an enactment that can unfold the resilience and finesse and also can stretch the weakness in backward direction. But after going through your blog, now I can say that an efficient leader should not be blessed with the above mentioned qualities, otherwise it will kill his leadership power drastically.
