Having thought about this a lot over the years I have identified some remarkable attributes which natural leaders seem to share: I think they are very special indeed.
Xray Specs
Imagine that you have just found the best product in the world and you want to build a team to help you get your product to market and maximise that market for everyones enjoyment. How do you know which people to choose?
Well, a decent pair of xray specs would come in handy wouldn’t it. You could look into the souls of others and see their motivations and talents; but, inspirational leaders don’t need xray specs they can see you, warts and all and know that you have the potential to be part of something great – and this is their special power; a great leader sees the energy and qualities that you bring and a true leader knows how to nurture your talent.
Hypnotic Gaze
Have you noticed how that time spent with some people just leaves you smiling. You can’t help yourself; you have had an enjoyable experience and you want to do it again soon, but why is that? It’s because special people exude warmth, they are passionate about life – passionate about you; they are not afraid to show it – and the energy they radiate is catching. The Hypnotic gaze of a undercover leader may catch you unawares – they may use their most effective weapon; a warm smile, when you least expect it, to throw you off guard – it’s infectious and there is no cure – try it for yourself. We are all hardwired to take on the energy of those around us. Leaders know this and will happily help you harness your inner happiness.
Quantum Leaps
True leaders are not constrained by time.They do not drag around the baggage of the past, they inhabit the future and know that it is full of amazing opportunities and reachable dreams.
Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “Leaders are dealers in hope.” They infuse optimism into the culture around them, and they boost morale. While attentive to the current reality, they do not resign themselves to present circumstance.” In essence, they live for the future.
Cloak of Invisibility
Leaders know the value of working with a team and true leaders don’t need to hog all the limelight; they embrace the power of the team spirit and value everyone’s contributions. As a result, a leaders greatest satisfaction is found celebrating a team triumph.
