How To Become a Leader ?

http://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/sk/leadership.htm

• Use initiative to act on opportunities. Become a leader before other people view you as one. Healthy organizations reward those who take the lead, not just those with formal management roles.

• Take responsibility for own objectives: set priorities.

• Display a "can do" attitude even in demanding situations. Try to solve problems, rather than to pass them on to other people. First answer is ‘yes, I’ll make it happen’ .

• "Go the extra mile" when asked to do tasks. Go beyond your job description. Do work that gets you noticed.

• Show enthusiasm: this will be noticed and you will eventually be rewarded.

• Take ownership of problems: anticipate potential problems, take pre-emptive action and act quickly to resolve problems.

• Introduce improvements to the way things are done.

• Develop innovative practices. Value innovative thinking.

• Learn new skills that will enhance capability.

• Common sense is not common!(Think different)

Leader Styles

• Autocratic (Authoritarian): The leader has a lot of power over team members & has the right to reward good performance or punish members if they don't reach the agreed standard.

• Bureaucratic (Procedural - task oriented): Team members follow procedures precisely. 

• Democratic and Consulting (Participative): The leader makes the final decision, but the team contributes to the decision-making process.

• Charismatic (Transformational): The leader inspires team with their vision of what should happen. They supply the main goal, but allow members to choose their own way of reaching it.

• Delegative (Laissez-faire): Team members make the decisions but leader is still responsible for these.
