I posted this status about leadership quality, and one of my FB friend post a comment asking me what do I think will make a great leader ? and who is my favorite leader?
Initially I thought of replying back and post my anwser back to my Facebook Page, but half way writing I realised that my post become so long, so I decided to give my reply in my blog instead. Also, with that, more people can read.
First Question: What do I think will make a great leader?
I believe there were few characteristic that many great leaders all around the world have in common
Firstly, just like what I wrote earlier in my FB post, A great leader has the attitude of sacrifice. They are willing to made sacrifices to reach their potentials or for the betterment of their people. Or to put it in a simple form, they must not be a self-centered person.
A great leader also a person with a great vision. They know where they are going and they will lead the way on how to get there.
A great leader sees more, sees farther and sees beyond others.
A great leader is someone who can move people with emotion. They make personal connection with their people. They are able to influence.
In fact the key to successful leadership today is not authority, it is influence. Remember,it is not the position that makes a leader, but the leader who makes a position.
So who is my favorite leader?
One of the people that I admire is Oprah Winfrey.
She may not hold an official post as a leader, but she definitely has many followers.
She is not a president of a country, or a pastor of a church, but she probably is one of the most influential leaders in the world today.
And that is what I aspire to be.
I hope to become a person of influence.
I hope to become a force for good.
I hope to become a Great Leader.
