Leader: Since I Have Some

¶ … Leader:

Since I have some characteristics to be a cooperative and dependable team player, I've naturally been a follower. In most cases, I find it easy and comfortable to be dedicated, persistent, reliable, and trustworthy towards a certain goal under the direction and guidance of a leader. As an organized follower, I've always received several compliments from my leaders for support towards them and other team players. While am not naturally a leader, there are several things I can do to become an effective leader and make myself more comfortable in such a position. This is largely because leadership is a skill that can be acquired and developed though other people are naturally born as leaders. Some of these things I could do as a follower to feel more comfortable include:

Solving Problems:

The first steps towards becoming an effective leader is through observing several situations and looking for solutions to make the world a better place. As a follower, I can become a leader through observing my surroundings and listening to people in order to develop suitable means of helping them. Moreover, I will discover my talents and abilities, develop them, and use them towards making a difference in people's lives, especially through offering solutions to problems. In attempts to solve these issues, I'll sometimes look for the simplest answers since solutions are not usually advanced measures.

Making Decisions and Taking Responsibility:

As part providing solutions to make things better for people, the other thing I'll do to become a leader is to make decisions and take responsibility for their consequences. The decision-making process is critical since exerting influence and solving problems is dependent on its power. I will not only commit to make sound decisions but will also be ready to be held accountable for them. In order to be more comfortable as a leader, exercising wisdom when making decisions, hoping for the best, and preparing for the worst is more important.

Being Visionary:

Effective leaders are known to be visionary people who can bigger issues and how they can be achieved through the elimination of obstacles. Apart from being visionary, it's important to share the positive vision with my followers and motivate them as they help in making the difference. As a leader, I will visualize and articulate goals that motivate followers and unite them to pursue the established objectives collectively.

Being Proactive:

Since people tend to do what they see their leaders doing more than what they say, I'll be proactive in the accomplishment of the vision. it's not only enough to share the vision and the conceived ideas regarding deeper issues. The achievement of the vision and objectives is dependent on the effort from both the leader and followers to realize the goals. Therefore, by being proactive as a leader, it's easier to encourage people towards a common mission.
