Leadership is of many types. Leaders can be made, if not born. There are certain qualities that makes every leader stand out, irrespective of the type of leader he wants to be.
Leaders have these common traits:
- Leaders always help others grow
- Leaders are a source of inspiration for his/her followers
- Leadership is practiced not preached
What makes a political leader effective and successful?
A political leader must think strategically before making any decisions. Moreover, a political leader must be accessible for his/her public. He must speak the language of common man, not just represent a certain class of society. Political leader must be a role model for his/her followers at all times.
Define the term “effective” when it comes to leadership. What does an effective leadership look like?
These are all traits of an "effective" leader. However, the most profound trait of an effective leader is compassion, empathy, kindness, clarity of mind and heart. Promoting equality among all races and ethnicities.
What are the priorities of an effective leader?
Top priority of an effective leader is his/her responsibilities towards his followers. In case of political leader his country, and his nation above his own personal interests. He must draw a line between his personal and professional duties to prove himself as an effective political leader. Some of examples of powerful yet, great political leaders are Nelson Mandela, Indira Ghandhi, Imran Khan (current PM of Pakistan), John F Kennedy, Margaret Thatcher of Britain, there are various others too in history.
What are some considerations that must be ignored in order to be effective?
An effective leader must ignore the unauthentic propaganda against his country and even against himself in order to be effective. Because every country has their own challenges. Must ignore all the false news, media coverages based on lies, and irresponsible journalism. Rather focus on performing his duties with more devotion and responsibility to prove all the falsehood wrong.
I hope I have helped you answer your questions. Please study Leadership of different people during different historical times and analyze their decisions making skills particularly. How and what made them take the decisions.
Good Luck.
