The qualities of good men.

While at Wambana we learnt about what qualities are shown by leaders and what makes a good leader...well a good leader.

Determination-Being able to keep going help in being able to lead by example. If a leader can keep going then he can motivate others to do the same.

Encouraging-If a leader leaves others behind and dosent try to help them then he can hardly be called a leader at all. A good leader encourages those around him to help themselves and others. If a leader encourages others then those encouraged can in turn encourage others making them leaders as well.

Leads by example-If you were bike riding and were told to keep it up by someone who had just stopped for the past ten minutes would you feel motivated? most people wouldent. A good leader leads by showing that they themselves can do it and this allows them to encourage you to do it as well. eg."If i can do it then so can you" Though this can work both motivationally and demotivationally if used correctly it is by far one of the most effective leadership qualities

Motivational-Anyone can just encourage someone but if you know the right things to say then you can really encourage people to do their best. Being motivational is quite a hard quality to attain but it can make a real difference in the long run. Its not so much about being motivational as it is about making sure that your not demotivational eg. If you wanted people to work hard on a farm it would be best not to say "ok guys were going to need to give it our all this month. Because were broke i cant pay any of you guys, we also wont be able to have any days off and all of the machinery is falling apart but im sure you can do it." Not the best example i could give i know but its the only one i could think of at the moment. Anyway the point is that as long as you can make people want to try harder then they will (most of the time.)
