Course Description
We will also address the roles of problem solving and planning in the scope of leadership, as well as define the role supervision plays in leadership (and vice versa).
This course features several historical examples of real-life leaders and how their skills were able to cement their place in history as some of history's greatest leaders. All the leaders are addressed in-depth to give those taking this course a practical example to base their own leadership traits.
For anyone who thinks they may be a leader, and for all of those who want to be one, this course will give you a practical guide to becoming a powerful and respected leader. At the end of this course, you'll be able to apply what you have learned in a final exam that can show you if you have what it takes to be a leader that history will remember.
So...what kind of leader are you? And what can you do to improve upon your leadership skills?
This is the fundamental problem with attempting to define what leadership is. One leader is another person's follower, and, while one leader may possess the right qualities for leadership, another may use them better.
Despite this, we will look at the qualities of a leader and determine which qualities are the most essential and which are only secondary.
Essential Qualities
Secondary Qualities
There are so many secondary qualities that a leader needs, it is nearly impossible to list them all. However, here are a few of the most important secondary qualities that a leader should possess:
True leaders will have a deep satisfaction about what they have done to change the world. They will know that they did their best when they were called upon, and that they went into it with certainty, conviction, and patience.
What Does It All Mean?
Real leaders are those that do not need followers, or do not pursue them. For real leaders, followers simply show up because they are drawn to the individual. There are plenty of pretend leaders and real leaders, in the world, and the trick is to look through the facade to find the underlying qualities.
