The opinion that leadership skills inherent in every person, by nature erroneously. Everyone can, at a certain moment, show their organizational and leadership skills, take the blow at a crucial moment.

The management of many modern companies has long recognized the fact that the common good and prosperity can be achieved not by repressive methods, but by creating such conditions of the labor process under which each employee will have the opportunity to take initiative and turn it into reality. How to achieve this - we will tell further.

The psychological portrait of a leader, regardless of his age, gender, is as follows: a person of good appearance, who knows how to dress with taste, affable, smiling, with all appearance conducive to communication, ready to work, discuss cooperation. The leader is distinguished by organization in work, never late, performs all his tasks accurately and on time. He undertakes the implementation of complex and responsible tasks, if necessary, clearly distributes responsibilities in his working group. Take responsibility for your words and actions. Leads real leader himself calmly, balanced, does not break into a cry and hysteria.

How to develop a leader in yourself

Leadership qualities can be shown in any environment: in a friendly environment, relationships with the opposite sex, social activities, at work. What should be done for this?

. No one has been harmed by a sense of humor, the ability to dress with taste, ease of communication, the absence of complexes about appearance well-built, expressive speech. An important factor is also the ability to convince, to defend one's own point of view.
A true leader will never be a tyrant. If it is necessary for success in any enterprise, or for harmonious family relations, he will definitely make concessions, give others the opportunity to prove themselves.
Continuously learn. The key to the success of a leader is constant work, achievement of success.
Win the trust of the immediate environment and the majority of the team.

How to become a leader in a team

Lack of initiative, negligent, low productivity, slow employees are currently not competitive in the labor market. “Ready” workers who meet all these requirements are highly rated and expensive. Where then can the employer get good employees? There is only one answer: to educate in your own team.

Ways to form leadership qualities in employees:

Creation comfortable conditions for work, a benevolent psychological environment. The development of initiative, a sense of responsibility to colleagues, clients, the search for new solutions to problems, the ability to motivate - all this should be welcomed by the employer.
Opportunity to take the initiative, offer non-standard solutions.
One of the reasons for the lack of initiative of workers is the fear of sanctions, repressions, fines, and other punishments.
Suggestion and realization that a real leader is not just an ambitious person. He is a role model, and with all his actions brings a lot of benefits to the environment.

How to achieve this:

Decide why you need leadership.
Analyze your strengths and weaknesses.
Cooperate, work closely with other leaders.
Try to do everything on your own, without relying on others. In the process of working in a team, maintain a favorable psychological climate, clearly set and complete tasks.
It is necessary to tune in to success, but it should be remembered that the first time rarely anyone manages to achieve grandiose results. It will be more effective to gradually, “step by step”, upward movement.
It is important to learn to be able to appreciate and adopt someone else's experience, learn from the mistakes of others.
The most serious task for a leader is to create his own style, a unique "I". To do this, you need to seriously work on yourself: objectively assess your strengths and weak sides, to be able to adequately perceive criticism addressed to him, to draw the necessary conclusions from it.

One of the main qualities of a true leader is to be an example for his subordinates. How to become a real, and not a formal authority for them?

Be as open as possible in communication, polite, attentive. Raised tone, shouting, swearing are strictly prohibited!
Be an example for others: do not be late, do everything on time.
Do not be shy openly, in front of everyone, praise your colleagues and subordinates. But it is best to report errors, shortcomings, and miscalculations directly to a person, without witnesses, behind closed doors.
To form a team of like-minded people, ready to solve the most challenging tasks, correctly, competently distribute roles and responsibilities in it.

Modern psychologists distinguish two types of leadership:

Soft - in which the head of the organization creates the maximum comfortable environment for work, relying on "their own". Members of the team are provided with the maximum possible support, assistance, and a feedback system has been established.
Rigid - the focus is on performance indicators. There is a large distance between the administration and employees, all power belongs to the leader, the organizer.

A leader is a person who creates an emotional atmosphere in the team, holds the mood of the team in his hands, a person who always has his own opinion and knows what he wants in life. They become leaders. This is a rather difficult, but passable path.

Leadership qualities (and there are many of them) in oneself can be brought up in the process of purposeful work on oneself beloved. A leader, as a rule, combines communication skills, insight and intuition. So, you've decided to make yourself a leader, but don't know where to start. Then the following tips and exercises will help you become a leader.

First of all, I would like to advise you to remain yourself (even in the process of changing yourself), do not put on a mask, do not try to be like your chosen “idol” in everything. You must understand that you are a unique person, and it is this fact that can make you a leader, but copying someone is unlikely. Undoubtedly, at birth you were given energy and abilities - use them to the maximum extent.

Becoming a leader is painstaking work above yourself, no book like "how to become a leader in seven days" will help you, and famous "psychologists" in the courses will not tell you anything new (their goal is to receive a reward from you). What do you need? First, evaluate yourself. Second, put clear goals. It is important to recognize your shortcomings, and then eliminate them. What to do for this?

1. Have a conversation with your inner critic, objectively object to him in response to comments related to you and others.

2. Find out what your relatives and friends think of you. Let the closest people you have chosen honestly write to you your positive and negative qualities. Analyze what you have written.

3. Be honest with yourself, point out your shortcomings. You can even write down negative sides your character on a separate piece of paper, and then burn it. The paper will accept everything that you write to it, pour out your soul, tell it what is bothering you and what are the reasons that do not give you the opportunity to succeed.

4. Your successes deserve to be remembered. Mark them daily. Everything that you have achieved in a day should be entered by you, for example, in a notebook, so you can mark your victories and defeats and analyze them.

So, in order to educate a leader in oneself, a person must work purposefully and develop leadership qualities in himself.

1. Intelligence. It is on him that you should pay attention in the first place. Take the time to read books, watch how those who have achieved success do their job. Learn from others and your own mistakes. Remember that a negative experience is also an experience. Give more time to communication, look for new friends. The more acquaintances you have, the easier you will be able to perceive their mood. Over time, you will learn to understand the true thoughts of people. Your baggage of knowledge should be replenished regularly.

2. Sociability. This quality is undoubtedly inherent in any leader. The leader's speech should not only be built consistently, but also be able to interest others. Socio-psychological approaches should be the subject of special study of the leader. In the process of communication, the leader must make sure that all members of the team feel the maximum involvement of him in common cause, and for this the leader must know what interests guide the activities of each person in the team. The leader should not forget that he is a leader, and should not show his importance in every possible way. The preferred option is for the leader to build communication on an equal footing with others.3

3. Self-confidence. Without this quality, a leader cannot do without it. Do not forget about your successes, let them give you strength to solve further problems. In no case do not stop before the problems and difficulties that have arisen, because their resolution will lead to an increase in your self-confidence. Any conversation can give away the degree of your self-confidence in a loved one: what words you use, what is the timbre of your voice, what is the position of your body and even your look - all these are signs of whether you are confident in yourself or not. Are you aspiring to be a leader? Prove it with your communication style! When talking, look into the eyes of the interlocutor (a shifty look is not a sign of confidence, it indicates that you seem to be looking for support), keep your head straight, relax your shoulders a little (the interlocutor should not understand that you are internally tense). Words such as “probably”, “sort of”, “as if”, etc. should not be present in your speech. Everything that you state should be determined and should not be regarded as something that you yourself are not sure about. How can you convince listeners if you yourself are not sure what you are saying? Replace "I think" with "I'm sure". In no case do not make excuses and do not put pressure on pity, this will be a direct sign of your weakness (and you are a comprehensively developed person!). Your voice should be even and clear. Work on your speech as meaningfully as possible - it is your main "weapon" in any team. Remember, what you want to convey to the audience must be stated by you clearly, concisely and clearly.

4. Endurance. The more resilient you are, the more confident you are. The more confident you are, the more resilient you are. Yes, these qualities are closely related to each other and form vicious circle. One of the main principles for you should be the principle of "Keep your nose up". Have you failed nine times to bring your idea to life? Try the tenth. Understand these nine times were not so fruitless. After all, you have found nine ways how not to achieve the realization of your idea in life! As mentioned above, negative experience is also an experience. A leader can be brought up in yourself only by constantly overcoming the obstacles that arise in your path, so do not follow the path of least resistance, be psychologically prepared for possible difficulties. Can help you develop your skills high level your claims to yourself. Don't procrastinate the matter.

5. Equilibrium. You must learn to keep your thoughts sober and calm in all situations, nothing and no one should be able to piss you off. Make an effort to eliminate everything negative and unnecessary from your life. Maybe you keep things that are of no value to you? Or maybe you communicate with people who, for some reason, are unpleasant to you? Try to protect yourself from this kind of communication. Avoid those people who constantly complain about their lives, except negative charge you can't get much from them. Do not let anger and other emotions guide your actions, later you may regret that you "flared up", be guided by your mind.

6. Hardness. In some situations, you need to be able to say a firm "no". Know how to refuse important ability person. Understand that by denying something to a friend, you will not lose his friendship. And if you lose, then what kind of friend is it? You must learn to prove your point and keep your composure. If you feel that you are being pressed for pity, do not give in to this, know how to defend your rights. Cultivate in yourself hard word. You must be able to refuse not only to others, but also to yourself, you must not satisfy all your weaknesses, otherwise you will not be able to become a strong personality.

7. The ability to make decisions. Always be proactive, because the leader is a "generator of ideas." try to take optimal solutions, and for this, write down all the ways out of the situation that you think deserve attention, weigh the pros and cons, and then choose the best one. If you can't decide anything, don't give in to feelings of annoyance. You should always assess the situation as adequately as possible.

8. Purposefulness.“You can’t even pull a fish out of the pond without labor,” says folk wisdom. In order to achieve a particular goal you have set, you need to work, purposefully move towards it. There are usually no instant results; in addition, they do not bring such moral satisfaction as if you had made an effort to achieve results. Remember all your positive qualities, start telling yourself with confidence that you will achieve everything that you have planned, and immediately begin to implement your plan. Set your goal as clearly as possible.

9. Responsibility. You need to be able to take responsibility for a group of people and, of course, for yourself. If you're wrong about something, don't be afraid to admit it. Set an example to others that you do not shift the most important things onto the shoulders of others, but do it yourself. Take on a little more responsibility than you distribute to others - you are the leader, and the burden of responsibility lies on him. It is necessary to be able both to satisfy the interests of individual members of the collective, and to fight for the common cause. There is no need to indulge or be a tyrant - look for the golden mean! As an exercise in developing a sense of responsibility, you can do the following. Take a sheet of paper. Your task is to write at least ten sentences. All of them should begin with the words: “I am responsible for,” and then write everything that you think is necessary in this case. This exercise is not frivolous fun, it carries an important meaning. You rethink what you have to do. This is a step in order to better understand yourself.

10. Organizational skills. The leader must be able to find mutual language with all members of the team, as well as to resolve disagreements that have arisen in it. Moreover, to be able to unite people (perspective, goal or idea) is the main task leader. Be attentive to each member of the team, be interested in the positions, preferences, priorities, hobbies of each and, of course, do not ignore the opinions of others. Don’t worry if you don’t manage to organize a team well right away. This skill always comes with time, with experience, it is closely related to the respect and trust you have earned in the team.

By developing leadership qualities in yourself, you will undoubtedly achieve your goal. Good luck to you!

Are you tired of being an obedient herd yet?

Who said a leader has to be born?

How to become a leader in a team - an algorithm of actions.

1. Territory of the leader

In order to become a leader, you first need to decide on the territory where you will be the leader, in which team you will be the leader. The leader in the class student group or in a team at work.

Second, do you need to determine where you are at the moment? Who are you in this team? If you are currently an ordinary member of the team, then you need to get permissions to manage this team. After all, a leader is a person who influences and influences other people. And with the right to do it is much easier.

That is, if your team is a class or a group, then you need to become a headman. If this is a team at work, then you need to become a leader.

The third point is how you will receive these powers. The most organic way is to take the initiative so that a higher manager notices your desire and appoints you as a leader. Or you were chosen as the head of the group by your fellow students.

The fourth point, your desire to become a leader should look natural, not feigned. That is, energy, confidence should come from you, people feel it.

2. Leader energy

Where to get energy? Energy in human body comes from the three basic instincts responsible for survival.

1. The survival instinct of the individual. To have an idea about the energy of this instinct, imagine that you are lying on the couch, you are too lazy to get up, spinning different thoughts. And suddenly a siren howled and the bombing began, buildings collapsed, fire, etc. You will instantly jump up, all thoughts will be focused, the energy will be over the edge.

Or the second option, you are walking through the forest, and suddenly a bear chases you ...

2. The instinct for survival in a group, or the so-called hierarchical instinct. He encourages you to take more high position in a collective. Since your biological survival depends on it, and the distribution of resources in the group. No one wants to be "smeared" and humiliated, so people strive up the social ladder.

A good example in this case this is Michael Tyson, who was often beaten by his peers as a child, and what this led to. Who does not know, he became the world heavyweight boxing champion at the age of 19. That is, he became the most strong man in the world.

The second example is Ayaz Shabutdinov, who had a very difficult childhood. According to him, he lived in a dugout where there was not even a floor. And as a result, at the age of 20 he became a millionaire.

3. The survival instinct of the species, or sexual instinct. He makes you want to be liked. Go to any fitness club, see how people mock themselves, and at the same time they pay a lot of money for it. What motivates them to do this? Indeed, from a logical point of view, it is absolutely not rational to go to the gym after work in order to get even more tired.

This is an example of the work of the sexual instinct, that is, the desire to please outweighs the desire to relax.

3. How to get energy

How to get energy when there is no war, and you are not dying of hunger, but the current state of affairs still does not suit you? I will give an example from the training of the same Ayaz Shabutdinov.

Close your eyes, imagine yourself in 10 years, when you have achieved your goals. What kind of car do you have, what countries do you vacation in, what kind of sexual partners do you have. You need to feel everything deeply, get positive emotions.

And then imagine that you didn’t do anything, everything went, of course. You worked somehow, did not show initiative, you were eventually fired. You started living on credit, then the bailiffs took away the apartment, and you ended up on the street in the winter, hungry. Close your eyes and imagine this situation and the emotions that arise in you. Fear, resentment, etc.

Here are two options for the development of your future, with positive and negative emotions. It turned out a potential difference, a certain voltage. This tension is the motivation and energy that will support you on the path to leadership.

4. What else prevents you from becoming a leader

And one more thing, so that the desire for leadership looks organic and does not cause doubts among others. Most people have feelings irrational fear, shame and guilt. This manifests itself as uncertainty, indecision, shyness, fearfulness.

Thoughts are constantly spinning in my head, and what people will think and what they will say about me. It prevents you from focusing on your tasks, it scatters your attention, it reduces your efficiency by 80%.

And most importantly, this is reflected in your body, your gait, your gaze, gestures, timbre and volume of your voice. That is, your voice becomes quiet, your eyes are running around, your posture is stooped. All this is subconsciously read by the surrounding people, and they will not perceive you as a leader. The solution to these problems is described in detail.

The leader must appear confident and speak clearly. The back should be straight, the voice is loud, not choked. Thoughts must be clear, goals clear.

Clarity of thought is given by the detailed elaboration of the plan, the miscalculation of various options for the development of events by how many steps forward. Be sure to work out a plan of action for the most negative scenario. This will give you extra confidence.

The multivariance and miscalculation of situations a few steps ahead is very well described in the book - "Kickbacks". Note, the protagonist he walked on a razor's edge, but he had a plan for any scenario, and he knew how to get out of any seemingly hopeless situation "dry out of the water."

5. How to strengthen the power of the leader

So, you have received the authority. The next step is to consolidate your power.

The first step is to get rid of the opposition. In any team there are envious people and competitors. And they usually try to try to discredit the leader. In order to move further towards your goal, you need to get rid of them, as they carry an alien ideology, and simply take away attention and energy.

An important point, criticism must be correctly divided into constructive and non-constructive. That is, if your goals coincide with a person, perhaps this criticism is constructive.

Constructive criticism is very helpful for a leader as it reduces the chance of making mistakes and therefore works in your best interest. Therefore, you need to be very careful with criticisms, and find errors in your position or the opponent's position. Such behavior will not only save you from mistakes, but also increase your authority, which is only to your advantage.

The second type of criticism is not constructive. There are such people - energy vampires, they don’t offer anything constructive, but simply enter into an argument in order to draw attention to themselves and feed on your energy. Naturally, it is in your interests from such.

The second step is to form an ideology.

Example: Let's say you are a store owner, and in this case, in order to maximize profits, you need to instill in the heads of employees the idea of maximizing customer satisfaction. This ideology should fit well into the heads of sellers, since they themselves are interested in this, because they receive a percentage of sales.

First, you need to develop business processes. That is, highlight the repetitive actions that make up the cycle of attracting and servicing customers.

That is, work out the design of the store;
Work out how to meet a client;
How to say hello;
How to find out the needs;
How the seller should be dressed;
Work out sales algorithms;
How to maintain customer loyalty, etc.

All these points need to be explained in detail to employees, why, why, and why it needs to be done this way and not otherwise. A detailed justification of the rules of conduct significantly reduces the resistance to innovation.

It is important to note that people are inert, and the formation of new beliefs and behaviors does not happen all at once. And the leader needs to be able to be patient, and explain everything again and again. On average, this takes up to two months.

The introduction of new beliefs is noticeably accelerated if people are put under stress. It has been scientifically proven that during stress, people release a special hormone that accelerates the formation of new neural connections in the brain, and this is a new memory, and new patterns of behavior.

Remember the lessons at school, if the teacher is very strict, then you listen more carefully, and the material is remembered somehow better. And homemade task you, do not forget to do, and hand over on time.

Therefore, the leader must always be ready for conflict, he must be able to abruptly stop correct behavior, pull up the violator. To learn how to abruptly stop someone's behavior, it is advisable to work out a few appropriate phrases that can be used to shut up the interlocutor. This psychological weapon is described in detail in the book by Alexander Kotlyachkov: “The Weapon of the Word”.

And when deciding important tasks the leader must be able to stress the entire team, as this mobilizes resources and dramatically increases the return on people. An example is Stalin, what was the discipline and productivity of labor then. No one dared to be late for work, let alone steal something.

Let me remind you that the economy then grew by 25% per year. And in our time, many successful directors, or business owners, are authoritarian leaders. They have a psychopathic personality type. That is, sometimes they simply fall into fits of rage, and yell at subordinates, which greatly increase their productivity.

With the necessary perplexity of the leader, it is not very difficult to form the necessary behavior and worldview in the team. Moreover, the leader comes to the aid of the laws of human behavior. Every person is subconsciously looking for a leader who will take responsibility for making decisions and taking responsibility for their consequences.

Firstly, it has been laid down since childhood, that is, when a parent is nearby, then the child feels calm and protected.

Secondly, decision-making and responsibility is calorie consumption and the same stress. And a person subconsciously tries to avoid making decisions.

And then a leader comes to the rescue, who makes decisions for them, naturally, first of all, in their own interests, and the rest as it turns out. Well, in extreme cases, you can always say that he did everything he could, and blame others for the failures. Therefore, it is extremely profitable to become a leader, otherwise you will most likely remain on the sidelines of life.

Thirdly, human nature itself is on your side. Via psychological experiments It has been proved that personality traits are formed as a result of external situations affecting a person, and are not given to a person from birth.

Read about the "zimbardo experiment", its essence is that randomly selected volunteers were put in a makeshift prison, they were divided into prisoners and guards. Two days later, the guards began to show sadistic tendencies, while the prisoners, on the contrary, developed helplessness and humility.

On the sixth day, the experiment was stopped because it got out of control. The guards turned into notorious sadists, and the observers could no longer look at bullying. We are interested in one single question here. How did some ordinary citizens turn into sadists after six days, and others into obedient, helpless slaves?!

The answer is that we already have all the qualities, and they simply activate in the circumstances we need. The fact that the human psyche is very plastic could be understood even without experiments. Remember how Hitler affected the population of Germany. But they, too, were ordinary citizens, and then calmly went to work in concentration camps and gas chambers.

Or modern example, watch a video on YouTube about North Korea. What ordinary citizens look like there, what they say about their leader. Do they even look like people? What happened to them?

What is the practical use of these examples for us to become leaders? The benefit of this knowledge is that if we set ourselves the conditions under which leadership qualities are needed, they will gradually manifest themselves in us. And if we avoid making decisions, we will gradually turn into obedient slaves.

For an example of how people change, watch the old 20-year-old videos of Vladimir Putin or Ramzan Kadyrov. Were they like leaders? Is not a fact. Are they similar now? Without a doubt.

6. How to become a leader for an ordinary person - video

Each of us strives to be respected, to have authority and indisputable influence on other people. Each of us wants to be a leader, but very few achieve this.

How to become a leader in life? It's not easy, but it's quite possible. We will analyze with you the main points that are vital to know along the way.

Leader is

Translated from English, a leader is a commander, leader. It is the person who takes responsibility for the work of the team who is the first to reap its successes and failures. A group without a leader is anarchy, where everyone pulls the blanket over to their side, and there is no organization at all.

The concept of leadership is embedded in social psychology. In any group of people consisting of 3 people or more, a leader is automatically created. Even if outwardly it is not too noticeable. He is listened to a little more, respected a little more, and his jokes are always a little bit funnier, even if it's not quite true. This is due to the need to take responsibility for the group. Below we will consider these conditions and other nuances in more detail.

Types of leadership and qualities of a leader

The concept of leadership has been very carefully studied by psychologists and sociologists. Several large-scale theories of the emergence of leadership have been created, and we will analyze their main points.

Behavioral psychology distinguishes between formal and informal leadership. Thus, there is a difference between the nominal and the actual leader in any team.

Let's take a very simple example: the director is the formal leader in production, but real impact belongs to the foreman, who is in direct contact with the workers.

If the formal and informal leader is one person, then the team acts harmoniously and harmoniously, receiving a clear and definite vector of development. If not, conflicts may arise due to different policies and instructions of the formal and informal leader.

If you intend to become a leader at work or in a company, then it is important to first gain authority in the team and become an informal leader. Because personal relationships with the team have a much greater impact than various documents and certificates.

Depending on the environment and the scale of the tasks to be solved, there are 3 types of leadership:

Household leadership - in the family, schools, universities, spontaneous groups. Has the smallest scale and is often unexpressed - the leader is not formally chosen, but has a greater share of influence than the other members of the group.
Social leadership - in production, in trade unions, sports or creative societies.
Political leadership - public and statesmen. The maximum degree of leadership that has a clear hierarchy.

There is a clear link between these types of leadership. A household leader, with the right level of perseverance, can become a social or even political leader.

If you want to become a leader, I offer you a 10-step program that will help you develop your leadership skills. The examples are taken from business, but the principles of leadership development are universal.

Step 1. Consider why you need to be a leader?

Yes Yes exactly. You need to think about the reasons for your desires. Despite the outward simplicity of this step, everything can be much more complicated. You don't become a leader out of boredom or a lack of emotion.

A leader is a person who leads people to achieve a desired goal. Leadership is not an end in itself, but a means to achieve it. What is your goal? A big, inspiring goal will not only activate you and your potential, but will also attract people who will want to walk towards this goal with you. Therefore, you first need to determine what you really want.

Step 2: Create a success log.

This tool is familiar to everyone. This is the simplest and most effective tool for personal development and motivation, which will help you become a leader. Get a separate notebook. Every day, write down your successes and victories in it. It is advisable to do this more often and as much as possible. At least 5 wins or achievements daily.

At first, this may seem like a monotonous and pointless exercise. But after a few weeks you will see that these successes are a very powerful incentive for further victories. The more confidence you have, the more other people trust you (follow you).

Step 3. Create a leadership environment.

To be a leader yourself, you must constantly be in the environment of leaders. Feel free to make new acquaintances and communicate with interesting and active people as much as possible.

To speed up the process of shaping you as a leader, place yourself around people who are stronger and more successful than yourself. May you have your personal leaders. This will help you better understand the psychology of leadership and learn how to be strong, using the example of other leaders.

Step 4. Be purposeful.

Once your goal is set, you need to make every effort to achieve it. There is no other option.

It is not scary to fail if you know that you have made every effort to achieve your goal. It is much worse if this defeat was the result of negligence and a frivolous attitude towards it. To become a leader, you need to learn how to design clear plans and step-by-step tactics to achieve goals. Only a serious approach that leaves no room for disorder.

Fortunately, there are methods for that. Use them to develop your leadership potential. It is important to remember that a leader is first and foremost a role model. You must be what you expect the best people your team, only in a reinforced version. If you want your team to be strong, purposeful and achieving goals - become such a person yourself. Everyone looks up to you.

Step 5. Make decisions and be responsible.

This is the most important moment in leadership. In a group of three, someone automatically becomes the leader. Why? “Because the other two trust the opinion of the leader of the group more. This feature has back side: who expresses an opinion or a plan of action can easily become the leader of the group. "You lead, and there will be followers" - good aphorism capturing the very essence of leadership.

I repeat: the leader becomes the one who has the courage to set a goal for himself, to captivate other people with it and lead (give work) everyone to its realization. It is the responsibility for one's decisions that distinguishes a leader from a mere group member. Also important is the ability to take responsibility for the decisions of their subordinates.

Instruction

Learn to communicate properly. It is important to be able not only to express yourself eloquently, but also to listen to the interlocutor. Sincerely interested in the topic of conversation, never interrupt the speaker. After asking permission, you can ask a few clarifying questions, defuse the situation with an appropriate joke. All this, of course, will show the interlocutor an interest in communication, and not the usual courtesy.

Engage in self-improvement. Determine what qualities you need to be leader companies. Try to base your choice on personality traits like honesty, respect, commitment, good nature, etc.

Change your attitude towards failure. Try to look at them from a positive perspective. The beauty of failure is that it either opens up new opportunities for you to try again, or it shows you another way to achieve your goal. Remember that only a cheerful and self-confident person can become leader.

Form own opinion. A person with leadership qualities must have a strong core, which makes it possible to enjoy authority in companies. Try to correctly justify your point of view on any occasion, but never impose your attitude to what is happening on other people.

Leader companies should be able to see best qualities other people, to connect them in communication, to promote the development of personalities. Besides being leader- this is not only a matter of some prestige, but also some responsibility for each member of the team.

Don't forget to give compliments to other members companies. Encourage their good deeds and appearance, desire for change and learning. The main thing - be sure to do it honestly, do not overdo it.

Remember modesty. This quality always adorns the leader. However, do not be embarrassed when communicating with strangers.

Man is social by nature and therefore natural form its existence is the collective. But we all know that even in those collectives that unite people on an equal footing (communities), a leader always appears after some time, or even more than one.
