HOW TO BECOME A GOOD LEADER
We often say that some people are good leaders, while others are not.
But what is really our basis for judging one‘s capacity for being a good
leader?
From a follower‘s perspective, good leadership can be attributed on
several qualities that a person must have. These qualities make people
comply and passionately follow a leader.
Qualities of a Leader
1. Character
A leader must have the capacity to
rally men to a common purpose and
should have the character which
inspires confidence. The quality of a
person‘s behavior, as revealed in his
habits of thoughts and expressions, his
attitudes and interests, his action and
his personal philosophy in life.

TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADERSHIP
This is a form of leadership that occurs
when leaders broaden and elevate the
interests of their employees, when they
generate awareness and acceptance of the
purpose and mission of the group, and when
they stir their employees to look beyond
their own self-interest for the good of the
group. Leadership here is recognized as an
interactive process, which transforms both
leaders and followers resulting in positive
organizational outcomes (e.g., superior
performance, productivity, and OCBs).
Why is transformational
leadership important for
organizational functioning?
• Numerous studies have shown that
transformational leadership:
• Significantly increases organizational
performance;
• Is positively linked with long term market share
and customer satisfaction
• Generates higher commitment to the
organization from their employees;
• Increases employee trust in management and
organizational citizenship behaviors (extra-role work
related behaviors such as conscientiousness,
unselfishness and sportsmanship that are unrestricted, no
related to the formal reward system of the organization);
• Enhances employee satisfaction with both their job and
the leader;
• Reduces employee stress and increases well-being
