How to be a leader !!!!!

What Are Leadership Skills?
When we talk about leadership skills, what exactly do we mean? Leadership skills are the tools, behaviors, and capabilities that a person needs in order to be successful at motivating and directing others. Yet true leadership skills involve something more; the ability to help people grow in their own abilities. It can be said that the most successful leaders are those that drive others to achieve their own success.

A Born Leader?
You’ve certainly heard the phrase. Who do you think of when you hear it? Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Ghandi, or other world-famous leaders in history? Or perhaps there are leaders in your own life that have had a positive impact on you. What skills did all of these people have that made them effective leaders? Here are a few, but there are certainly others:
 Is Committed to a Vision or Mission
 Understands His or Her Role
 Demonstrates Integrity
 Sets an Example
 Understands How to Motivate the Behavior of Others
 Communicates Effectively
 Is Willing to Take Risks
 Is Adept at Problem-Solving

"You don’t have to be born with leadership skills. They can be learned"

Integrity
The third trait that every leader must have in order to be successful is integrity. Integrity can be defined simply as being true to your word, being authentic in your actions and speech, and demonstrating the kind of behavior that you would like to see your employees have. Integrity, like leadership skills, is something
that you have to practice. It takes effort to honor your word every time and to be the example you want from your employees even when you are under stress or simply have a personality conflict. But the benefits you can gain from developing integrity are enormous when compared to the damage you can do in the workplace if you lack it.
Think for a moment about characteristics of bosses you have had that you didn’t like. What, specifically, were the attitudes, behaviors, or traits of that person that has you still thinking of them in a negative light?
Probably you would list things like favoring certain employees, not coming through on promises he or she made, gossiping, taking credit for your work, or treating you disrespectfully. All of these issues can be
traced to a lack of integrity.
