"Leaders are not born, they are made. They are made like anything else, through hard work, and that is the price we will have to pay to achieve that goal or any goal".

MORAL:

Leaders are not born, they are made. Everyone has an opportunity to become a leader, no matter who you are or what part of the world you come from, you can make it as a leader by studying and practicing what leaders do. There are certain ingredients which when added to the 'soup' of being a leader, makes you a great leader.

One of the major ingredient for being a leader, is hard work, leaders are hard working set of people, they are always focus and serious minded in whatever they do. To be a great leader, you must be hard working and serious minded, laziness should never be found in you as a leader. A situation where there is work that needs to be done, the leader is the first to step in to take the lead.

Another ingredient of leadership is vision. To be a great leader, you should practice being a visionary, that is seeing ahead of others, picturing new ways and opportunities in doing things that would move you and your followers to a new level. This quality is very vital and important in leadership as without it, it will be difficult for a leader to lead his followers to new level.

Perseverance and calmness is another quality of a great leader as this tends to define the strength of character of a leader. Perseverance is the ability of a leader not to give up too easily even when it seems like all hope is lost, it is the tendency of a leader to continually pursue his goal and purpose and that of his followers without lack of enthusiasm.

 

In conclusion, leaders are made by practice and study, one major hobby of a great leader is reading; a leader should develop the habit of reading consistently and acquiring knowledge with skill to guide him in leading his followers and making good use of opportunities as they arise.

My Question: What are the other qualities of a leader?
