How not to: Become a good leader.
Posted On Monday, June 2, 2008 at at 9:06 PM by IshanGood leaders are essential for success of any team. A good leader can get a bad team from bottom to top. A recent example is Rajasthan Royals team in I.P.L. Royals were considered weakest team of the tournament. But with a stunning surprise, they won the tournament and were most successful team in entire tournament. It was mostly because of Shane Warne. Back to topic, What are qualities of a bad leader? They are:
1. He never appreciates his teammates.
Appreciating teammates will always boost their confidence. And for a bad leader, this can be fatal. Their are some good leaders out there who are very good at appreciating teammates. Just do not follow them.
2. He never respects his seniors.
Respecting seniors is a characteristic feature of a good leader. Never allow this to be a habit. Be like M.S. Dhoni(Indian Cricket Team’s Captain), he forgot respecting seniors and went on to lose I.P.L.
3. He follows others.
Adopting other’s method to any problem is the best tactic to lose. And if you lose, you are a bad leader. Always find someone tom and follow his trail.
4. He never sets examples for followers.
Mahatma Gandhi had this trait and this made him a leader with big followership. If you want to be bad leader, hesitate doing anything yourself. Instead, leave it to others. Never set examples.
Important Note: The above tips and tricks have been tested for ages over lot of persons like W.H. Hallas, O.K. Tulip, Mr. Coolin. Don’t know these names? Dear reader, they all were bad leaders. How can you(or anyone) remember to put their name in history books? And if they are not in history books, How can you remember them? They all were very bad(worst) leaders, believe me.
