Lead With Confidence

KNOW WHO YOU ARE

To be a confident leader, you first need to be confident about who you are.Only there can you have the confidence of leading a team.

KNOW YOUR STRENGTHS 

Be aware of what your strengths are. A good leader need not to be good in everything. You may be a good speaker but not a good organizer , or you may be good at motivating others , but not very skilled in your game.

ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR WEAKNESSES 

Be aware of your weaknesses and work around them, If you are weak to organizing , give the responsibility to someone who is comfortable in that mould .

RECOGNIZE YOUR STRENGTHS 

The greatest leaders are those who include everyone in their sphere of influence by recognizing each person's greatest strength. To be a good leader you need to look beyond the obvious and find the hidden strengths of your team members.

MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE 

No one respects a grumpy or negative person. People are naturally attracted to you when you have positive attitude. By being positive , you will lead a happier life, as well as be surrounded by other positive people.

KNOW YOUR TEAM 

It is not enough knowing who you are. You need to know each of your team members a little better. Understand what motivates each of them as individuals as well as in a team.

HAVE A CLEAR VISION OR GOAL 

You have to know where your destination is before you can map out a plan to get there. To improve your leadership skills , first set specific goals with appropriate timelines.

MOTIVATE OTHERS 

A leader is as powerful as his team. To make your team stronger , you need to be able to motivate the members to find that hidden strengths and move forward towards achieving goals and vision.

ADMIT AND LEARN FROM FAILURES 

Face it, no one is perfect  and everyone has made a mistake or two in their lives. To learn to ride  a bicycle properly you need to have fallen at least one or twice. The idea is to dust yourself and get on your bicycle again. The most successful leaders know that  the key to success is not in avoiding falling or failing , but learning from their mistakes.

CONTINUE TO GROW

Great leaders continue to improve themselves in every possible way. The person who thinks he is an expert , has a lot more to learn. Never stop learning. Be receptive to everyone's perceptions and information from around the world and beyond.
