We must help our understanding to acquire all the other
qualities that a good leader must have.
To Think--- to be able to make up his mind and is decisive.
He should carefully weigh various alternatives, but he must be able to force
his way to a conclusion and to act upon it. If he does not have this quality of
decisiveness, he is not likely to have the self confidence a leader needs. He
must be able The successful leader must be able to organize the activity of his
subject and enlist their wholehearted support in the establishment of the work
that must be done.
The most important quality of a leader in any phase of life
is the capacity to win and retain confidence of his people. It is not enough
that he knows his responsibility the subject must believe that their leader
always acts in any ways which will strengthen the general welfare of the
country. They are dependent upon him. They are aware of this dependence and are
deeply disturbed by any indication that their leader is abusing their trust,
are taking unfair advantage of his position.
A leader must know
his job well, but this is not enough. The subject must also have confidence in
the leader as a person. They must believe that he always acts in ways which
will contribute to and strengthen the general welfare of the country.
The subject is dependent upon their leader in many important
ways: for a fair division/ delegation of powers to the right persons, for
proper recognition of effort, for a fair hearing on grievance, for personal
progress and advancement. They are aware
of this dependence and are likely to be deeply disturbed by an indication that
their leader is abusing his trust or taking unfair advantage of his position,
or failing to accept their share of responsibility for group and individual
welfare. When they have reason to be satisfied on this score, as well as on the
score of the country they will accept the leader and do everything in their
power to help him full fill work requirements.
In addition to giving leadership and guidance to others, the
successful man must also be able to accept the guidance and direction of those
positions of higher authority. In fact he should be eager to secure the counsel
and guidance of others.

We must
help our understanding acquire all the other qualities that a good leader must
have. We must
to plan, to see problems as a whole with details in their
proper prospective, and to set a course of actions which will take “first thing
first”.
To Develop a Strong Urge to Accomplish—he should have a
great capacity for hard work, but know how to conserve his energies. He should
want to get things done, to handle problems as they come up, to dispose of
them, and to get along to new and more challenging problems. He should receive
satisfaction from the actual doing of a task. He should be constantly alert for
new jobs to be done, for new problems to be handled, for new goals to be reached
and passed.
To Have Ambition— to seek the satisfaction of personal
progress. He should want to get ahead and be willing to work hard to do so. He
should be willing to accept responsibility and the risk that go with the
responsibility.
To Be Emotionally Mature— to be able to get along easily
with others. Most leadership positions involve considerable pressure. Unless
these pressures can be handed constructively, the individual is likely to
become overly worried and tense, to the point where his judgment and ability
may be seriously affected. He should allow others a difference in opinion and
accept their ideas and suggestions. He should not pretend to know it all and
should be willing to accept help or good ideas from wherever they may come. His
feelings and pride should not be easily hurt.
To Be Self Confident-- to be able to take defeat in stride.
The successful man can accept responsibility for his own mistakes. He does not
try to blame his associates for his own shortcomings or the failure of his plans.
He must have faith in his ability and confidence in his ideas. He must be sure
of himself, and strong in his belief that he can handle anything that comes his
way.
To Be Tolerant—to accept people pretty much they are. He
should accept the shortcoming of others; yet work that much harder to help they
improve. High standards of performance should be insisted upon, but impractical
and unrealistic goals should not be set.
Never To Stop Learning—to have mental curiosity. A
successful leader learns in many ways, but especially from experience. He is
able to analyze the reason for failure as well as success, and to guide future
efforts accordingly. He can analyze why his judgment was good or bad.
