To
be a good leader you must have this traits:
- honest
- ability to delegate and inspire
- creative
- humble
- confident
- have good instinct and commitment to work
- positive thinker
- and good at communication
And
addition this, I learn more of how should leader be after watching Gintama
episode 284. Like leader shouldn't too fixated on staying on top, because the
greater the heights an organization reaches, the more he'll grow out of touch
with his subordinate's feelings. That said, if everyone is equal, they'll all
fall together. So leader should support the organization as its foundation and
more.
According
to John C. Maxwell, that the greatest legacy a leader can leave is having
developed other leaders. Develop them as widely and as deeply as you. And if
you want to leave a legacy, invest in people, and encourage those you develop
to pass on everything they learn from you to others who will do the same.
People are what matter in this world -- not money or fame or buildings or
organizations or institutions. Only people.
And
also from his article, that achievement comes to people who are able to do
great things for themselves. Success comes when they lead followers to do great
things for them. But a legacy is created only when leaders put their people
into a position to do great things without them. The legacy of successful
leaders lives on through the people they touch along the way. The only things
you can change permanently are the hearts you lead.
3 GREAT LEADERS
1. NELSON MANDELA
Nelson
Mandela was the first democratically elected President of South Africa. He was
the leader and the face of the Anti- Apartheid movement and all through his
life, he relentlessly fought against racial discrimination. For his actions, he
served a long prison sentence but even that did not deter him. He came out as a
hero and led the country into a free, equal future. His determination, focus
and will-power were tremendous that even after serving almost 30 years in jail,
he got out and worked again for what was right.
2. RAMON MAGSAYSAY
Ramon
Del Fierro Magsaysay (31 August 1907 - 17 March 1957) was the third president
of the Republic of the Philippines after World War 2. His life had great impact
not only in his country but on many people in many lands. He was one of the
outstanding leaders of his time.
Ramon
Magsaysay commanded the admiration, respect and affection of people because he
was a simple, humble man; because he cared for all people as individuals and
believed in their dignity and importance; and because he had the courage of his
convictions. His objective was to improve the lot of his fellow Filipinos and
he approached the task with selfless devotion. He was convinced that
government, to last and to be sound, must have integrity and reflect the will
of the people.
A
man of greatness of spirit, he saw his fellow human beings born with the right
to live in liberty and happiness. He angered at injustice and the violation of
high principles. He worked to build a nation -- a world -- in which all people
were free and lived in honor and peace with one another.
The
world is richer and better because Ramon Magsaysay lived. His spirit will
continue to be an inspiration. He exemplifies the highest type of leadership
3. BLESSED TERESA OF CALCUTTA, MC, (COMMONLY KNOWN AS MOTHER TERESA)
Mother
Teresa (26 August 1910 - 5 September 1997) was a Roman Catholic nun, who
devoted her life to serving the poor and destitute around the world. She spent
many years in Calcutta, India where shed founded the Missionaries of Charity, a
religious congregation devoted to helping those in great need. In 1979, Mother
Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and has become a symbol of charitable
selfless work. She was beatified in 2003, the first step on the path to
sainthood, within the Catholic Church.
