These qualities are backbones that makes the work easier. Once a leader is familiar which qualities he needs to posses and those he needs to run away from, there’s no doubt in it that he’ll find more pleasure in his work as being the leader and the task attached to the position will be very easy to carry out. Firstly you need to know that leaders manage people and for a person to manage a large number of people, he must be capable of managing himself or herself at first.
Some born leaders have the traits of leadership but all those traits needs to be developed because to stay on top is not accomplished by physical strength but good qualities. Therefore, ,natural leadership needs to be developed.

As a leader you need foresight on the set of people you want to influence because a master of all happens to be master of none. You need to decide on the impact you want to have in people, what awareness are you trying to create, what do you want to be known for? Sociologist tell us that even the most introverted individual will influence ten thousand other people during his or her life time! That clears the fact that each and everyone has the ability to influence others . Realising your potentials as a leader is your responsibility and this should be the first thing to take note of as a leader.

Thirdly a leader must be flexible. Flexible in the sense that he or she will be bent to accept new ideas, new innovations and adopt new method. When a method is not working out well, a leader should be able to adopt another method. The flexibility of a leader goes a long way to taking to corrections. A leader must not always see himself or herself as right all times, he or she must be flexible enough to take to corrections.
Furthermore more, a leader must be Disciplined, discipleship in all areas, in area of time management, diligent at work, being punctual because, discipline is the soul of businesses.A disciplined leader will achieve in a year what an undisciplined fellow will gather in years. The lead learn from the discipline of their leader, so a leader needs to be disciplined in all areas even from the words that comes out from his or her mouth. A leader shouldn’t be found eating or Gisting at place of duty.

Well, an 11 year old boy with a gun can influence people to repose on the floor. This isn't the kind of influence a leader needs.

Nothing, absolutely nothing. I never liked school the first day I stepped foot into it and the last day I stepped out of it.

I was a sadist, had bad days at school EVERYDAY.

I sometimes wished my teachers, headmaster, principals, VPs, current governor or president could drop dead so there could be holidays... my wishes never did came through.

I thought I was commenting on the thread below this one... I guess I'm still a sadist.

Topics like these are always viewed by less Nairalanders and with few contributions/comments. Yet same myopic and mentally poor fellows will keep saying trash about their leaders and their country on other topics of no relevance to their growths.

Educative posts on socialmedia attract less to majority of Nigerian youths. Hence our society is getting bad day in day out.

To add a few.... outstanding leaders are good listeners and they study wide too.....
