 True
leadership is about envisioning the future. The fate of an organisation
hinges on what the vision of a leader is and how he goes about implementing
it. To lead an organisation to success, the leader must be able
to guide employees on to paths that are profitable and yield effective
results.
Just like an artist has lots of colours on his
palette, a leader has employees with different skill-sets working
for him. Like the effective mixing and merging of these colours
helps the artist produce a work of art, the leader's effectiveness
in channelling the skills of and obtaining the best results from
each employee helps create an organisation that is always energised,
profitable and effervescent.
Courage, conviction and the ability to lead
an organisation during difficult times is another attribute that
sets a leader apart from the team. In times of crises, he has rise
above being a mere 'boss' and act as a mentor and guide to the members
of his team.
Today, when businesses have become increasingly
global and competitive, a leader needs to continuously improvise
and mould his team according to the requirement of the times.
Since getting results in today's dynamic business
environment is all about teamwork, finding the right people for
each position in his organisation is another imperative for a leader.
Increasingly, leaders will be required to reveal a capacity to deal
with the softer side of business-people skills.
Thus, having a clear vision for the organisation,
an innate drive to take the organisation on the path of realising
that vision and ensuring that the team contributes in the process
is what sets a leader apart from the flock.
