A Leader is Born of Character

Leaders are the ones who blaze trails and never look back. There are many people who wish to do crowd following simply by following the current trends. A leader is born to original ideas. Ideas never follow trends. They are born out of the trend that is created. They follow the courage of their convictions. Most of all, they come out of nowhere to surprise many by what they have accomplished.

        Real leadership starts with the individual. Never does real leadership start with a group. A leader is one person that can recognize that failure is always possibility and are willing to take the risk of failing. They accept the premise that anything can go wrong. A good leader is one who is honest with themselves and other people.  Mostly, they dare to dream big and see the big picture when others won’t see it.

        Leadership are traits that definite a leader. It is about facing the challenges and rising above it. A leader has nothing to prove anyone. They face these challenges because they forge their character. People don’t follow titles. They follow courage and the courage to be led in a path of goodness and rightness. They stand up to face adversity when others won’t. It is those moments that define a leader’s character.  A leader will lift those burdens or die trying. For example, you can have customers burn you badly. You can have your marriage on the rocks. You have advertisers who think you suck. You can have people who have failed criticize you up all the way. You realize these challenges are things to be met. Not because you have something to prove to them because you want to become strong. Lastly, a good leader says lay your burdens upon my shoulders, so that I may grow strong.

        Leaders are not naturally born rather they are born out of their life experiences. It is these life experiences that define their character and who they become. A leader is a person who is more than willing to learn from their mistakes. A good leader is one that has the flexibility see their strategy or plan through. Most of all, it is leaders that learn to become leaders by virtue of their experience.

        A leader is born through experiences that define them. They know how manage crisis. They remain claim. They have something that you can sense and feel that surrounds their being. People follow courage not titles. A leader needs no title fashioned as plague hanging the door of the office. It is more of an informal title that is felt and assumed by the people who follow them.  Mostly, it is what inspires people to follow a leader.

      

  A good leader inspires to people have hope and not vileness. A good leader carries out the plan and still dreams big. They know that the one goal or dream is to inspire people to think beyond themselves to see the big picture. A good leader is a visionary. They get people to think beyond the ordinary to something extraordinary. Most of all, it is for this reason above all else that people seek out good leaders.

Entrepreneurs are Leaders

“The meaning of a message is the change which it produces in the image.” — Kenneth Boulding in The Image: Knowledge in Life and Society


I ran across this article called "Concepts of Leadership" . I found the article interesting and wanted to share it. I believe it exemplifies what are the core of entrepreneurship is. This is what separates the doers from the followers in my own opinion. I pulled the most important parts of  the article that I thought what makes a good leader and these parts are from the article that I want to share with you.Most of all, it tells the characteristics of makes a good leader and separates the followers from the leaders.

Leader

You must have an honest understanding of who you are, what you know, and what you can do. Also, note that it is the followers, not the leader or someone else who determines if the leader is successful. If they do not trust or lack confidence in their leader, then they will be uninspired. To be successful you have to convince your followers, not yourself or your superiors, that you are worthy of being followed.

Followers

Different people require different styles of leadership. For example, a new hire requires more supervision than an experienced employee does. A person who lacks motivation requires a different approach than one with a high degree of motivation. You must know your people! The fundamental starting point is having a good understanding of human nature, such as needs, emotions, and motivation. You must come to know your employees' be, know, and do attributes.
 

Communication

You lead through two-way communication. Much of it is nonverbal. For instance, when you “set the example,” that communicates to your people that you would not ask them to perform anything that you would not be willing to do. What and how you communicate either builds or harms the relationship between you and your employees.
 
 
Situation

All situations are different. What you do in one situation will not always work in another. You must use your judgment to decide the best course of action and the leadership style needed for each situation. For example, you may need to confront an employee for inappropriate behavior, but if the confrontation is too late or too early, too harsh or too weak, then the results may prove ineffective.

Also note that the situation normally has a greater effect on a leader's action than his or her traits. This is because while traits may have an impressive stability over a period of time, they have little consistency across situations (Mischel, 1968). This is why a number of leadership scholars think the Process Theory of Leadership is a more accurate than the Trait Theory of Leadership.

Various forces will affect these four factors. Examples of forces are:

    your relationship with your seniors
    the skill of your followers
    the informal leaders within your organization
    how your organization is organized

Leaders are not born. They have to learn how be leaders and know how drive what they want for themselves to move things forward. A good leader knows how to communicate effectively and garner their vision to communicate it others. Most of all, being the one see what others can't see and not following the herd.
