Acknowledge(0)Amend(0)Who is a good leader?
One who leads an institution?
One with outstanding academic records?
One with good managerial skills?
Should be a role model in himself, and should be someone whom we wish to emulate(imitate).
If you can inspire yor superiors, peers , subordinates and your customers then you are a good leader.
You should be passionate about the institution and loyal to the institutions agenda.
The Leader
The boss drives group members; the leader coaches them.
The boss depends upon authority; the leader on good will.
The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.
The boss says "I"; the leader says "we."
The boss assigns the task, the leader sets the pace.
The boss says, "Get there on time"; the leader gets there ahead of time.
The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown.
The boss knows how it is done; the leader shows how.
The boss makes work a drudgery; the leader makes it a game.
The boss says, "Go"; the leader says, "Let's go."
What the Leader Must Know
- The members and be interested in their welfare.
- Their hopes, ambitions, abilities, limitations and prejudices.
- The things the members want to learn, or at least where and how to get the knowledge, such as woodcraft skills.
- How to motivate members to want to learn new skills and gain new attitudes. Without motivation no learning takes place and without learning the member stagnates and consequently finds no satisfaction from being a part of the group.
- How to establish communication between the members of the group.
- How to conduct or supervise meetings, discussions, and informal activities. Within White Stag, these include campfires, singing, Sunday services, troop leader councils, work parties and so forth. Common experiences that the group enjoys or that they are proud of help weld the group together.
- How to assess his own effectiveness, how to get the group to evaluate itself, its goals and its progress toward them. This in turn becomes a powerful motivating force for further learning.
