Leader....

This one is “Classy” article published in times which clearly defines what is leader and what he should do. This one is written by Mr. Rudy Giuliani. (Former New York Mayor).

“Under promise and over deliver”

Surround yourself with great people. Have beliefs and communicate them. Set an example. Stand up to bullies. Deal with first things first. Loyalty is the vital virtue. Prepare relentlessly. Under promise and over deliver this is the “mantra”. Don’t assume a damn thing.
Leadership does not simply happen. It can be taught, learned and developed. There are many ways to lead and ultimately you will know what techniques and approaches work best – Those you hope to lead will tell you. Much of your ability to get people to do what they have to do is going to depend on what they perceive when they look at you and listen to you.
Much of a leader’s approach must be formed from the raw material of his or her own life. Leadership does not simply happen. It can be taught, learned, developed. Read biographies of leaders you admire. That will tell you more about leadership than any other leadership book.
Leaders may possess brilliance, extraordinary vision, fate, even luck. Those help, but no one, no matter how gifted, can perform without careful preparation, thoughtful experiment and determined follow-through. Any leader is only as good as his word. People need to understand that you mean exactly what you say!!
And as Napoleon Bonaparte said….

A leader is a dealer in hope...!!
