Like many other traits, what is needed to become a leader is to inculcate the right thinking and actions that will lead the person to the leadership role. The genesis of leadership is the ability to lead oneself. This is the foundation to being in a position to influence others into leadership. Leading by example is often the most effective technique for leadership.
Be perfect and then preach
A story about an Indian spiritual guru runs into something like this: A woman approached him to admonish her child for eating too much sweet. The guru is supposed to have asked the woman to bring the child a week later.
When she came, he advised the kid to stop eating sweets. When the mother asked the guru why he could not have given the same advice on the previous visit, the guru is said to have remarked that he took one week to give up sweets himself. It is only when he practiced what he preached that he believed he would be in a position to influence others –a prerequisite for leadership.
We notice from this story that the leader did not do anything out of the way or out of the box. This is how leadership is. A leader does not have to, to use the old cliché, reinvent the wheel. She only needs to put in the right thinking at the right time and put that thinking into action. Leaders inculcate the right attitude and behavior for bringing out the best in people around them.
