Top Seven Attributes Of Super Leaders

Leadership is mind set, world over  people follow leaders. Leaders are born out of people, while many a times the followers remain follower. But everyone at some point of time NEED to become a LEADER weather it is for your corporation or for state or even within the family. In this article I am going to discuss basic attributes that are truly exhibited by modern leaders.

1. Driven By Need- Leaders  are driven by people needs. He understands the needs and the importance of fulfilling it. They give all their best to ensure that the understood need is fulfilled for their people.  Unfortunately in few democracies, we have seen leaders falling for their own satisfaction at the expense of peoples.

2. Future Oriented- What lies ahead for a group or a future success of a group actually decides how good a leadership is. All truly successful leaders are futuristic; they look beyond current goals and work in strategy for future . This probably points why a BIG IT firm in India is looking in hay way with its old strategy .

3. Solution Focus- Traditionally all successful leaders are not focused on smaller issues, rather they understand the root cause of the problem and do not fall prey to smaller answers, but work toward greater solution/ Purpose. Gandhiji worked towards realization of Independence for India than on smaller petty issues with British. Its is the bigger solution that Gandhiji inspired people and achieved.

4. Great at Execution- Whether you are a Commander or a group leader in politics, the success of the group rests on its plan, its execution, implementation accuracy and speed. Bill Gates from Micrososft , Steve jobs from Apple,  Mukesh Ambani from Reliance Oil are very good examples for the excellence they exhibited in the core project execution. For a modern leader he no longer sits in his lobby and does all the strategy, He moves into forefront of tactical execution and manage the speed of implementations.

5. People Centered- for a person to become a Leader, he first needs to be accepted as a some one superior/ matured to be accepted as a leader . This is the reason almost all leaders are people centered . this also explain why all leaders are supreme commanders but not vice versa.

6. Critical Thinkers- In modern era, leaders are often put with various options to loose focus there by losing its power  by pulling the group to  various sides.  Leaders need to cultivate a habit of critical thinking to evaluate various options and choose the best possible till a need is cherished.

7. Multi Tasking- I have seen many successful CEOs in IT and Businesses exhibit the multi tasking capability slightly differently than what it is understood. They do not Multi task but rather focus on immediate needs and they delegate and manage. One of the best approach is create a tier system and delegate lower tasks and decisions to managers.
