An opportunity (or need) leadership is increasingly bringing together two or more persons to engage in a joint task.
Leadership is a learned skill that anyone can acquire, is the art of influencing others, enthusiasms their work and reach a common goal that can be called "common good".
We will not go into detail on the definition of "common good" because it is philosophically very complicated, but it is understood that this is common or just the opposite to the needs or preferences of a single individual or group of them.
There are clearly two ways to influence, through the power or authority. We all agree that the authority is superior, is more influenced by the leader who always has to fear the person who is leading authority. But what do we do when employees do not respect authority, how not to use the power and say: "you have to do it or you lose your job?". It really is very difficult to work with people.
A leading authority comes to be that their employees appreciate it, I have respect and feel comfortable with him. But should never fall into impersonate friend or sidekick, that would be fatal. The leader must be corrected when there is no remedy should have the power and make it clear that he was forced to take such measures.
We are accustomed to seeing the hierarchy of an enterprise from the general chairman in the pit to the frontline employee. Now let us change our idea and up to the customer, this would automatically turn the pyramid and would have something like this:
Clients>> frontline employees>> monitors>> middle>> vice>> presidents.
The customer is the most important thing for a company so the employee who is serving as the most important person in second place. What the president opinaría this?.
The leader is someone who meets the legitimate needs of its people and remove all obstacles so that they can properly serve the customers.
Finally, a leader must have humility, kindness, respect, generosity, tolerance, honesty, commitment. Difficult is not it?
Start looking at yourself and try to buy these securities at the beginning will be a novice but conscious, then over time you become a conscientious and experienced at least you know it'll be an expert unconscious. Being a leader is to learn, not born.
