Steps
- Develop confidence in yourself. Before you can motivate others to do a particular task or job, you need to be able to project confidence. You can even be confident when telling someone you don't have the answer now, but that you will get it.
- Be strong. Self-confidence holds the key. You should make yourself so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind and your followers should take you seriously and gracefully with respect.
- Have your values and fundamentals sorted out. A leader with the wrong fundamentals will lead his or her followers nowhere.
Tips
- Read biographies of highly successful personalities that changed the world around their ideas.
- Ask people in higher positions than you for advice and tips.
Warnings
- Don't mimic others exactly; the same leadership style does not suit every situation and person.
- Don't try to lead by fear, it'll only bring resentment and lack of will to work.
- Don't assume because you are the leader that you're always right.
