How to Be a Great Leader

Girls can lead and so can you

Your thoughts (66)

Any plan or project without someone in charge is probably going to fail. The world needs girls like us to take the lead in getting things done. This will lead to a more productive society for everyone.

Being in charge isn’t easy, which is why it’s never too early to start planning. The steps you take today can lead you to a life of leadership.

Here’s a guide to set you on the right path:

Be a Good Listener

When you’re with your family and friends, try not to do all the talking. Listen to them and ask them how they’re doing. If they share a problem with you, do your best to find a solution. You can be a great mentor to people around you by simply listening and giving good advice.

Don’t Take All the Credit

After taking part in any project, don’t be that person who wants to get all the praise. Make sure everyone gets some credit too. Thank them for helping to make the project a success. It’ll show you’re not only responsible, but caring too. The earlier you learn how to be a team player, the greater your chances of being a great leader.

Be Polite

Words hurt. Don’t be rude or mean to people. Even if they’re younger than you. Even if you are arguing, never insult them or make them feel small. Awesome leaders treat people well.

Treat Everyone Equally

Got a favourite sibling? Please don’t treat her or him better than your other siblings. Playing favourites can prevent you from being fair. And the perfect leader treats people equally. Never take sides. Your goal is to make sure everyone feels respected.

Give Support and Praise

Does your brother need help with his homework? Tell him you’ve got his back. Did your friend finally buy that dress after saving up for months? Tell her you’re proud of her. By lifting people up, you become a leader people will love.

To be a good leader ...you must have a healthy self esteem as a woman ...... You must not listen to stereotypes and myth because they can destroy your potentials and goals.... You must make the people feelings your priority and never discriminate ..... A good leader must. be a good listener

Thank you big sis.......we are in this together to help each other reach their potentials ......Everyday is a learning process.

Hi your profile hits home with me and I like that seemed relaxed and very open. Life is to enjoy,laugh, communicate and have a connection with someone special who has a zest for life and all things in it. In like to be active and I tend to find the humor in life. It's my feeling that people need adventures, laughter and passion lets talk and see where life takes us....

I believe girls are capable of handling all the activities that boys engage their selves with... There's a traditional believe that boys legitimate heir to properties... Well I don't with that.. A girl is equally capable to do whatsoever a boy can do... KUDOS TO ALL THE GIRLS

Hey Springster! It is a thing of choice. Maybe she just wants to call on your younger one for help. Leave her to her choice. You can offer to help if you really want to help. Also, check yourself to be sure that you are really a caring person like you say. Remember saying that you are caring is different from actually being caring. We hope this helps.

We have to be caring
