What makes a good leader?

A leader should be like water. Agile, free flowing , deep and making way for others. Like water nourishes life , helps them survive, a leader needs to nurture their people and give them opportunity to grow.

A true leader is never a self declared leader. The essence of a true leader lies in their humility, empathy and the desire to do good for all and not just for themselves.

Every individual is a leader in their own way in different situation in their life , probably even without trying to be one. At home ,as parents, you are the leaders,: you are showing the way of life to your children. At your work you are inspiring someone to be like you, you are a Leader.

A good leader is the one with whom you feel connected , you can approach them , who has your back, who shares your failures and shares his success, they inspire you, they ignite the desire in you to do something meaningful with your life. They make you want to be brave like them , understand people and their emotions, be rational. They are willing to look through other’s lens. They are not the ones to play the blame game when things are spiralling down. They don’t expect to be treated like kings, but will be happy to work along with their people at the grass root level. They don’t just give out a problem to be solved, they sit with you and help you to find the solution. A “Good Leader” is leading you to your excellence and bringing out your leadership.
