If it is difficult to be a leader, it is even more difficult to be a good leader. In fact, to be a good leader one must possess certain characteristics, which are often contradictory, says Harsh Goenka.
Known for his witty tweets, Goenka took to Twitter on Saturday to express the qualities of a good leader. He writes,
To be a good leader you must:
1. Confident, yet humble
2. quick yet patient
3. Compassionate, Yet Demanding
4. Optimistic, yet realistic
5. Focusing on Your Growth and Well-Being, Yet Selfless
Strange contradiction!
Last month, Goenka shared a video clip of Mukesh Ambani explaining some of the things every entrepreneur should follow to make a real difference.
In the video, Ambani told about some important strategies. “You have to solve the problem so that it does good in some way or the other,” he said. And, financial returns are actually a byproduct.
He also said, “Never be discouraged by failures. Learn from them, but never give up.”
There are two non-negotiable things – treat your investors’ money more carefully than your own. Second, you can’t do anything without the right team. He said that it is very important to engage the team diligently with its mission.
Lastly, an entrepreneur is always positive, he is an optimist. There are a lot of cynical and negative people around. But, an entrepreneur must spread positive energy, Ambani had said.
Posting the video on Twitter, Goenka wrote – Some great lessons from Mukesh Ambani.
