Qual's of a good L...

It's said that good leaders(L's) take chances and can succeed only if they take their teams with them.
L'ship is not about managing things but about developing people. L's need the 3Cs: Courage, Conviction and Communication to succeed. Other L'ship qualities that are essential are an abundance of humility, the ability to remain focussed and the capacity to dream boldly. L's take chances and grab opportunities. L's can succeed only if they take their teams with them and have a motivated set of employees. There is only one way to get everybody motivated — by making the other person want to do the job.True motivation comes from having a real sense of purpose, of working for one common goal and with the purpose to excel. Real motivation can never flow from financial inducements alone. Fear is a poor motivator. Show people that you trust, respect and genuinely care about them. Only then will you be surrounded by motivated people. Give people autonomy to decide how to get the job done but be there to guide and help them along the way.
Employees want to be respected and be included in a corporate vision that they can embrace. Success needs to be rewarded and celebrated, and failures need to be handled delicately. Motivation can never be forced. Let the people in your life know that you respect them.That you appreciate their work, that they are important to you and that you want them to learn, grow and reach their potential. Create effective mechanisms viz. money, recognition and training to motivate and retain. Finally, being a leader is not about winning a popularity contest - it is about doing what is right.

Confucius said give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. This perhaps is an important guiding principle for a good leader
