Leadership has been described as the “process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task”. A definition more inclusive of followers comes from Alan Keith of Genentech who said "Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen."
Leader is a person who holds the key to success. In my perspective, leadership stands for -

L-Learning

If you want to be a good leader you have to achieve all these qualities. Leadership is a very relevant aspect of an organizational context.

Learning is an important part of being a good leader. It is the basis of all the other characters of leadership. To be a good leader one must have minimum knowledge of everything seen and heard. But above all ‘know thyself’ then you can move towards the next level of learning.

Experience:

‘Life without experience is like a ship without a sail’. As a ship can’t reach its destination without a sail, like that without experience you cannot reach your goal. Many obstacles will come forth while trying to gain these goals, only experience will remind you how to face those obstacles. Experience is earned by sharing ideas and views with people around you and from around everything.

Attitude:

The first look reflects the overall character of a person. Attitude attracts every one around you. It will help you to interact with other people. This is an important attribute of a leader. Once it is lost it is gone forever.

Determination:

It is a necessary part of a leader. When you are determined what you really want then you can achieve that. This helps you form all the other points of a leadership. Determination will lead you to your destiny.

Efficiency:

To be a good leader you must prove how much capability you have to do a job. By increasing your capability level you can reveal yourself as competent. Always keep in mind –Nothing is impossible.

Reliable:

It means how much someone can depend on you. This character helps you connect with other people. A reliable leader can bring good fortune to the organization as well as to the nation.

Strength:

In a leadership strength doesn’t mean to show off power, it means strength of mind. Always show courage so that none can break you down. Whatever may be the situation strength can help you win all hard things. It helps you to be confident. A strong mind builds a strong leader.

Honesty:

As the saying goes ‘Honesty is the best policy’. Trust is important to build a good job. Fake cannot bring good fortune. Even if it does it will for a short time. Only truth and honesty can bring the real taste of life.

Innovation:

Necessity is the mother of all invention. We create something new everyday cause we need to fulfill our dreams and it is a great challenge. Innovation separates a man from others and helps to move toward a greater goal. An innovative leader is always a great leader.

Patience:

Rome was not built in one day. To achieve something greater we must have patience. All things come round to him who will have patience.

Beside these points stated above, a good leader has other qualities, which includes situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values and intelligence among others. Also have the quality of SRC (Self Reference Criterion). It’s a practical guide to get along with others cultures.
