MAIN BODY
Factor involve in being a good leader
A good leader has a direct vision, clear focus, has honour, honesty, and courageous.
Leadership is capability of a person or a group of peoples which control and guide other
members in an organisation. Leader should be believing in open communication and hold honest
with management as well as employees. Effective leadership must be consisted of open
communication with other team members, good leader must be good listeners also so first
priority is listen over talking, Service driven that is influence people, motivate or help them to
achieve the target and also what they want or needed at that time (Antonacopoulou and et.al.,
2018). leader must take care of physical and mental fitness of employees, more focused on
efforts of employees, they cannot blame other members when the result is not in favour of leader.
They should be straightforward, and create their relation and communication methods which
suits to the situation and other team members, based on their preference.
There are numbers of ways or leadership style, so there are no right and wrong way, it can
be varying from leader to leader is totally depends on their knowledge or experience. Leader
should always connect with their team members, lead a group is a big concern which requires a
give and take of communication, sense of understanding and trust in the middle of leader and
their other team members. Making an actual and personal connection with team members is

more realistic to build a mutual trust which is necessary to create a fit culture of exceptional
performance and accountability(Carnegie,2018). If leader have good connection with every
person in a team and know about their interested area, hobbies, weakness, strength, personality
and performance so it more beneficiary for leader to know how to motivate, guide them to
improve their performance.
Leader should have positive attitude, because if a person is positive thinker than the
working environment is good, it is not only means looking cheerful, smiling and ignoring tough
situation but it must include allow employees to more flexible, show real care of employees, hold
up and motivate them, share experience like bad, struggling and good days of performance, treat
every employee equally with integrate and respect. Encourage them for professional and
personal growth, by proving them opportunities to learn and earn or learn and grow but also not
be scared to representative of task and encourage creativity and privilege.
An effective leader must know about how to communicate with each employee that what
is needed instead of directly telling them or giving them order so, leader should
teach employees rather to give orders (McKimm, et.al., 2018.). If leader teach employees so they
also fell free to ask something, easy to communicate, and understand more clearly but in the
same position if leader give order than employees have lack of motivation, understanding and
fell like they don’t have values, afters these they come into negative environment which is not
good for company or working place.
Leader should set understandable task and expectation for team and it is important to
employee for success. If individual know and understand about the task than there is a great
chance of successfully achieve a target with less efforts, if goals are set than every individual can
path their progress and recognise achievements in physical manner (Ellis, and Abbott, 2020).
Leader should be self-motivated so it’s easy to motivate other. Leader should give direct
feedback about the individual performance such as deadline, in place, structure, performance
review, processes, regular product plans can put into work place. if leader give feedback to
employees so they know about their performance, if work is in accurate manner or up to mark
than its good but if not than it is easy to take action to correct it (Melsom, 2020). Leader should
also ask for feedback on their performance of leadership so they also know about their mistake
so they improve accordingly.
