WHO IS A GOOD LEADER ?

A Boss always orders "Go", but a leader says "Let's go ".
That is the attitude that differentiates between a boss and a leader. A leader always leads from the front and motivates his crew to follow him. A leader is always looked upto by his team members as he is expected to lead by example. Alexander the great, was known for this quality . Even after winning many battles, he used to make sure that he was the first to get to the battlefield , thereby spreading his confidence among others. This act inspired his crew and made them an invincible lot.

A leader should make sure that he understands his men and should ensure that he gets the best out of them. A true leader commands respect from the crowd ,while a boss demands respect. Another important trait of a leader is decision making. A good leader should be capable of making perfect decisions in quick time and should be able to motivate others .

Winston Churchill, as the prime minister of Great Britain, was known for his courageous leadership. He raised his people's hopes by his words at a time when they were at the brink of defeat . A leader should be able to raise his people's hopes when they lose it. The world has witnessed a plethora of leaders and many more are yet to come. Some of the traits of a leader might be hereditary, but a constant effort in that direction can help one acquire many of those .
