For a great leader, responsibility is the joy of achievement that comes from defying definitions. Passionate leaders, for one, instead of pushing their teams to monotonously pursue deadlines, constantly create excitement by encouraging them to think, stimulate their intellectual growth and apply new ideas to mundane jobs.

Again, a good leader is one who, having meticulously chosen the right people, believes in inspiring them to consistently strive towards achieving more than what they think they can. In other words, good leadership is all about catalysing the learning process amongst subordinates, as well as creating the work environment that aids in improving performance.

The key trait that distinguishes a great leader from an average one is his passionate love for the organisation he works in. And while truly great leaders are people with unquestionable integrity and strong value systems, what sets them apart is their strength to carry on in the face of adversity and convert challenges into opportunities. This combination of fairplay and perseverance is what makes leaders take the organisation forward.

In addition to the above, a good leader must have a vision. And the clearer and more compelling the vision a leader has, the stronger the passion is amongst his team to achieve the fruits of that vision. Intelligent leaders envision their organisations' desired futures and thus create the greatest source of energy and focus for their team members.

To conclude, good leaders are not those who drive their teams towards achieving success or company goals only, but those that have the ability to transfer their passion and dreams onto their subordinates and thus make them turn those dreams into reality, willingly.
