Leadership Basics




.What is Leadership

Leadership is a process by which an executive can direct, guide and influence the behavior and work of others towards accomplishment of specific goals in a given situation. Leadership is the ability of a manager to induce the subordinates to work with confidence and zeal.
Leadership is the potential to influence behaviour of others. It is also defined as the capacity to influence a group towards the realization of a goal. Leaders are required to develop future visions, and to motivate the organizational members to want to achieve the visions.
According to Keith Davis, “Leadership is the ability to persuade others to seek defined objectives enthusiastically. It is the human factor which binds a group together and motivates it towards goals.”

How be an inspiring Leader:

.) Inspiration alone is not enough:

 Just as leaders who deliver only performance may do so at a cost that the organization is unwilling to bear, those who focus only on inspiration may find that they motivate the troops but are undermined by mediocre outcomes.

.) Inspiring leaders :

Are those who use their unique combination of strengths to motivate individuals and teams to take on bold missions – and hold them accountable for results.
And they unlock higher performance through empowerment, not command and control.

.) To be an inspiring leader...:

 • You only need one truly “inspiring” attribute - centeredness:a state of mindfulness that enables leaders to remain calm under stress, empathize, listen deeply, and remain present.
 • Your key strength has to match how your organization creates value.
 • You have to behave differently if you want your employees to do so.

Leadership 7 ways To Be everyday leader: 

1.Identify your passion

Everyday leadership begins with a passion and a mission.Ask yourself: “What am I passionate about? How can I turn that passion into a mission?”
Once you identify your passion, seek out opportunities to become involved and engaged with like-minded people.

2.Listen

Try listening more than you speak.Listen to experts and fellow enthusiasts, including those with whom you disagree.Absorb their perspectives, insights, and experiences.
From listening to others, we can gather valuable insights from both their successes and their failings.

3.You have a voice. Share it

But remember that using your voice as an everyday leader comes with a responsibility. 
When sharing your opinion—in-person or via social media—be clear, be concise, and be constructive. That is the best way to be heard.


4.Pursue humility

Humility is what allows an everyday leader to approach their passion and mission from a place of community and in the spirit of making life happier for everyone, regardless of the nature of that endeavor.

5.Contribute to the discussion

An important part of authentic leadership means contributing something new to the discussion at hand.
This doesn’t mean you have to shock and awe, or say something controversial. It means sharing something fresh to further a conversation.

6.Turn failure into a muscle

Accept this fact: You are going to fail, many times.
Offer gratitude for each failure and pull lessons from the experience. Use failure to make yourself stronger and then go off in pursuit of other triumphs.

7.Smile

Your smile is the most powerful tool you have for leading yourself and others to a better, happier place every day.

Definition of a Happy and Successful life

We all have formed our own definitions of happiness right from childhood. A lot of these perceptions are because of conditioned development i.e. they are a part of our habits due to repetitive inculcation by parents, teachers and the society in general. That is why, none of us has actually pondered about what exactly makes us feel happy! This feeling has been left to our sub-conscience and we simply feel the happiness according to the situation we are in.  A lot of small things can give happiness to us. For instance, just the thought of shopping or spending money tends to excite us and makes us feel happy. Opportunities and new ideas also have a similar effect on us. This excited state makes us imagine things related to these incidents. For example: the perspective of going on vacation while getting an office bonus would not only make us excited, but also make us plan and imagine the holiday. In fact, we would feel the bliss without actually being on the vacation itself! However, w...
