Leadership is all about style, the manner and approach. Good leaders are good-natured, polite and know how to coach. They direct, implement the plan and know the workers’ plight so subordinates are motivated to succeed with all their might. Do you know the names of leaders you admire and hope some day that you would dress in similar attire? Could it be any one of these, your mother, your dad, your principal or some other? What personality traits do you find in the leader of your choice? Could it be the winning smile and tone of voice? Could it be someone who communicates with an occasional shout or yell but nevertheless, does get the jobs done very well? Do you like a leader who acts so very cool, non-interference in the affairs of others is the popular tool; but then, could it be that you rather a leader who is versatile and wears three hats with a feather, likes to smile, mixes the autocratic, democratic and laissez faire style? Such referent power and behaviour workers bound to know that is no guile. Good leaders develop their thoughts, a never-ending process and that is why they acquire the fame and their success. So, good leaders are made and not born and would welcome a challenge any day even if they have to hold with their bare fingers hot roasted corn on the cob.
