11. Multitasking

He must be able to handle his job
Understand his followers
Motivate the subordinates
Able to handle the pressure
12. Appreciative
He must be able to appreciate the behavior of
the employees
He must have the capacity to appreciate the
works, the ideas, the outcomes provided by
the employees
He must appreciate the good and bad aspects
and take any action as an opportunity
13. Natural
A leader must have his own way of performing
things
A person who follows some other are not
termed as a leader.
He must be innovative and has his own ways
He must be able to realize his uniqueness in
doing things.
14. Affable
A person who isn’t friendly cannot capture the
heart and mind of other people
To understand some other person he must
have the pleasant and friendly personality
Being Sociable and friendly plays another
important role in being a leader
15. Guidance
A person who does the thing on his own and
never teaches anyone about his techniques is
not a leader.
A leader must make his employees
understand about the ways he works
He must be the one to manage, to control, to
regulate the people of organization.
16. Encouraging
Just making people understand and making
things work isn’t the way to become a leader.
A leader must be able to influence others to
do better.
He must show the positivity of the task to be
performed.
He must be promising and assuring.
17. Risk Handler
To become a leader is to handle a pool of
people and it is the very difficult job.
There are many risks while we are to control
the humans and the tasks and this ability
must be present in a leader.
A leader never gets scared of the risk that
might be and this is also known as seizing the
opportunity.

Hinweis der Redaktion
Everybody is a leader whether he leads 2 people in the organization or he leads the whole mass of the nation, we cannot judge a person by seeing the mass of the followers but the inner ability helps the person to become an effective and a good leader in any sector.
Good leader develops through a never ending process of self-study, education, training and experience. (Jago, 1982)
Leadership is a process and in that process indicates the relationship between the follower and a leader. A leader is generally followed because of some of the mutual fact that is connected to the follower’s norms, values and cohesiveness; people follow because these things simultaneously match with the personality, position of the person who is leading.
If I am doing a regular job with extraordinary remarks and if I do not share the ways to perform job extraordinarily, I might not be counted as a leader because to be a leader being extraordinary is an important part whereas teaching and coaching the same extraordinary skills to the subordinates or to the followers is the skill that counts as a feature of a leader.
A leader who uses these practices is more influential and effective than those who infrequently use it. We like to work in such an organization where the leader is able to guide us, where he can teach us to grow more and be better version which are the concepts brought down by exemplary leadership practices, while we are not satisfied to stay in the organization where a leader is not future looking, who is not farsighted and who is not committed or confident on performing tasks. The environment of the organization clearly gives us the assumption of the leadership of that company.
Model the Way: To become a better leader especially in an organization, we must be able to identify the common goals. For instance, if I am a leader of a marketing department, then I would clarify the values.
Inspire the shared vision: When a team has the shared value and all the members understand their pace of performance it gets easier to perform the task.
Enable Others to act: People like to innovate, they love to make changes and they are always eager to make some difference in either the system or the tradition and this is because they want to leave a mark of their existence. For the same reason, there must be trust between as the theory of trust by Amy Layman; there are four factors credibility, respect, fairness and pride. Through these factors the team and the employees build the trust among each other and also build the trust towards the employees by the leader.
Able, believable, connected and dependable, ( The Ken Blanchard Companies, 2010) with the absence of these four factors in a leader, the person doesn’t earn to be called a leader like a manager of my organization because even if she is able, she is not believable, she is not connected towards the other employees for their good, she is not dependable because she tries to stay above of all which makes the other employees to become free and less dependable to her.
I think these factors must be there in a leader to become an effective leader.
