Leadership in extreme views

What is leadership? Being outspoken, charismatic, visionary, inspiring and passionate does not mean that you are the leader. Leadership is about traits but not just traits. True leadership is experts at using the right traits at the right moment.

Lots of questions which is more important for leaders to have;

1- The ability to listen or the ability to talk?
2- The ability to be detail-oriented or the ability to see the big picture and be strategic?
3- The ability to learn or the ability to teach?
4- The ability to be humble or the ability to be assertive?
5- To rule by authority or by influence?
6- The ability to drive change oneself or to employer others to lead the change?

The answer to each of the question above is: Both. Leadership is about context and situation. It is the ability to behave in the right way at the right time and to do right thing at the right moment.

In summary, what's really important for one to become leaders is for him/her to have an ability to manage, lead, deal, influence and make decision on behalf of the team and to take ownership to the decision that he make. Good leaders shall act fast and be sure that it will become a success to the Project or task assigned.
