Leadership is the art of getting someone to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
People naturally want to follow a good leader. After meeting with an effective leader it is not unusual to
feel uplifted(情绪高涨), inspired, and motivated to work towards a common goal.
An effective leader makes others feel good about themselves, as well as the work they are doing. The
leader has a vision(幻想)of what he or she wants to achieve, and can communicate that vision to others in a way that makes people want to be part of it. One thing a good leader typically does is to communicate
the big picture, so that each employee can see how the particular role he or she plays makes a
contribution to the final result.
Good leaders are positive and o
ptimistic when they speak about the future. Their enthusiasm wins
them plenty of supporters who help make the
ir vision a reality.
Good leaders also understand that different people are motivated by different things. For employees
motivated by a need for achievement, a leader explains how the task offers an opportunity to take on a
challenge with an achievable goal. And employees are motivated by hearing how they will be part of a
team of people working together.
Good leaders will introduce employees by name first, rather than job titles. They refer to employees as
team members, companions, or colleagues, never as "servants". Words have power, including the power
to make people feel whether or not they are important to the success of an organization.
Good leaders believe that every team member matters and set up environments that make everyone
feel important. It is no wonder they can attract the support they need to help them achieve their goals.
