Malavika Jaggi:
Leadership demands progressive learning, and does not have set rules.
When the going gets tough, the
tough get going.
Over the years, the definition of
leadership has changed. From being a ceremonious position, leadership has come
down to the grass-root level. Today, the image of a leader is one who can be a
common man. Then what is special about leadership? What is special is the
journey of becoming a leader.
Nobody is a born leader; it is
hard-earned experience that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Radhika
Roy, the media baron, co-founder and managing director, NDTV, has consistently
demonstrated how empires can be built by vision and self-belief. Easy as it may
sound, the journey to becoming a good leader is tough. Leadership is all about
collective growth and success.
A leader is a self-starter, a
person around whom reolves the entire team. It is from the leader that the team
draws energy, courage and the spirit to go ahead. He or she is the torch-bearer,
the guide who leads the team to success. So what makes a good leader? Is there a
set formula that can ensure making of great leaders? Unfortunately, leadership
is not mathematics. It is the science of progressive learning and does not have
set rules. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates followed different styles, but both remain
classic examples of great leaders. Having said so, great leaders of the past and
present reflect some common traits. Here are some qualities that aspiring
leaders should imbibe:
Vision
Leadership requires farsightedness.
The ability to see ahead and lead the team on the correct path is a skill which
comes with experience. It is the intuition of the leader, the ability to learn
from past mistakes and move accordingly that sets apart from the rest.
Other qualities are:
Integrity , Commitment, Creativity, Crisis Management, Team Player
