Level-Headed (Leader)

Leadership is not about authority and it is about responsibility and empowering others.

Level-Headed Leader is someone who responds to the situation and not the one who reacts to the situation. If you observe, there is difference between responding and reacting. Level-Headed nature lies within these two words difference. Any leader to be a great leader has to be level-headed.

Being level-headed is not that tough, it is just the approach any leader takes and how he implements. The words which are spoken by any leader being level headed should mean what he wanted to say instead of leaving for assumptions.

Level-Headed Leaders control their emotions and don’t react to situations, instead they will analyze the situation by taking a pause and understand the bigger picture of the situation and then respond how to tackle it.

Being calm and composed creates so much mental strength that, you can handle any situation and will come out with flying colors. The team always looks at their leader as a backbone and who will give a support from behind so that the team doesn’t fall back and always fall forward.

For all the aspiring Leaders, I would suggest to strongly look at being calm and composed to handle any situations. To achieve this, practice few of the following things which has helped me:

  •     Take a pause before responding on the situation
  •     Speak the words which matters the most and conveys the actual meaning
  •     Trust the capabilities of Team
  •     Trust the vision of your organization

Practice diligently these aspects again and again, you will become a level-headed Leader….

Reliable Leader

Reliability trait takes any leader to be a very strong effective Leader. Reliability is one of the biggest traits any team looks towards the leaders. When any leader is reliable the team trust and counts on him/her. Humility clubbed with reliability will be the biggest advantage which any Leader can showcase. Leaders always have authority and responsibility, but how they use these two attributes defines the team’s performance. Any team with strong reliable leader will be very effective, as it knows that the leader is going to take care of all aspects for them. Reliability sounds to be simple/easy to practice, but, it is tough.

Most Leaders misunderstand the reliability and gets in biases towards the team which will demoralize the team and the collaboration and cohesiveness will be lacking.

Demanding Leader

Leadership is not an authority, but it is responsibility. Demanding Leadership is one of the Leadership styles which seems to be aggressive to achieve the desired results. Demanding Leaders work towards achieving the organizational goals with aggressive style and seems to be successful also. Demanding Leaders order and dictates their followers to accomplish their tasks and to be successful always. The team which works under these types of Leaders will always be order takers and accomplishes the results without any innovative or proactive approach/thought process.
