But to be a good and successful leader we need to learn how to be a good follower.

Don't look at yourself as a leader, because if everyone of us thinks that we are a leader, no one will become a follower.

what is a leader if there is no follower

Characteristics of a Good Follower:

BE A LEADER NOT A BOSS

Every leader is a boss, but not every boss is a leader.

Less talk more action.


A Leader lead his followers: a leader works with his followers to be an example, he is doing a job at the same time leading his troops.

while a boss rules his followers: a boss make commands and give orders, he let his followers to do all the job while he wass sitting plenty and waiting for the result.

A leader ask questions and willing to listen on others opinions a leader listen to his followers and he is open from any advices.

while a boss knows everything he wasn't listen from others opinions because he is the boss, he thinks that he is on the top,he thinks that he is better and has more skills than his followers.

A leader accept and corrects mistakes: a leader are willing to help his followers, he do anything that he can do to correct the mistakes of his followers.

while a boss find who's to blame

If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it, young or old, successful or less than successful, unknown or famous , is changed by it.

We need more leader not bosses. That kind of hierarchich discrimination decreases effiency of work and demoralize everyone. Boss are there even you dont want but leaders mostly promote to the position because you want. Leadership is a encouraging characteristic,but there is no characteristic like bossship?! right. Work with team,not rule them. Wish to see good leaders ahead of you in your life.

hope you meet good leaders also in the future.
and for you as well to become a good leader someday.
