What Makes Great Leadership

Leading a team of young, vibrant, and enthusiastic individuals might prove to be a daunting task, so that it is often difficult to make successful leaders of everyone. And while not everyone is built to take up leadership positions, there is always that one, or more, member of your team you feel is set up for the inevitable eventually.

Those members of your team who mirror certain potentials of everything you possess as a leader, and that it is only a matter of time before they become one. But leadership is like fine art; it takes a lot of time, persistence, learning and unlearning, to become successful at it. And here’s the question, how do you make the best leaders out of such people and make them better versions of yourself, bearing in mind that there are certain inadequacies of yourself you do not want to transfer to them too?

There are different arguments on whether leadership is an innate ability or a thing that can be nurtured. The answer to this is irrelevant when you are trying to make new leaders of your team. No one starts to succeed at leadership immediately.

Think Walt Disney and Henry Ford. Good leadership requires a lot of qualities, many that require you to learn them. While there is no singular way to raise new leaders, the following tips should help you make the best of raising a competent leader in your team.
