It's been years I search for why and how to be the right leader. I've been a leader of certain organization when in school, college, and university. I've been wondering around about what am I missing as a leader. I always feel so annoying, disturbing, and not interested to be a leader.
As years passby, i found out how important it is to have a leader. Not only to have a leader, but the right and good leader. I found out how it is fun to be a leader.
Okay. This is just my opinion. I would like to share with you guys, cause I hope this post can help produce more leaders to be great or better among us. Here are the points of my opinion.
1) Leader must be a man. Not woman. This is because man consider rationality and responsibility over emotion before taking action. Man is kind of people that always try to prove that he is the best. To do that means he is doing his best.
The man's ego is naturally high, and with the ego, it protects the man away from scared feeling. The man's ego is strong enough to bravely bring the organization up to things.
Man's thinking is simple to solve any problem. In this way, man won't easily panic and will be able to solve calmly. This is good for any complex problems that might occur in organizational process.
2) Very good planning and everything is pictured clearly in mind. To do something, must plan wisely and realistically. Just do only when we can picture it how it goes. Make sure it can realistically happen with what we have. Plan with what we can possibly do, not outrageously out of our organization ability.
Just like an event of launching. We must be able to picture how will the event goes. What the event needs, like mic, chairs all that, where to get it, who will be the VIP, MC, and so on. Did we have enough members to do that? Could they do? Do we have enough resource? Ensure it.
3) Build a good friendship among members. Being a leader should know the character and ability of each member. With this way, we can expect better how the plan will realistically goes with the members we have. For example, a member very good with photoshop. Than we have power for event marketing.
Besides that, when we know what problems our members are facing, we can be more considerate. We must try avoid force on our member. Our member might hate us or leave our organization. This will only lead our organization to worst condition.
4) Good documentation and info sharing. Let all member know what's going on with organization clearly. Everything must be justified. In this way, every member will be able to give their opinion. Many opinions are good to get the best idea.
5) Congratulation and celebration. It is very important to show thanks to all members for involving. We must let them feel very thankful and happy for being commited. This way will contribute them more power to involve with organization.
if members want certificate, make the certificate. If members want a celebration ceremony, and make it. Sometimes members didn't ask anything, it is because they might have an expectation from us, the leader to them. So, do something to show appreciation to them. At least a honest speech.
If can, give a speech before and after any event. The word of us, the leader is very important to members as source of commitment. Fill in our speech with lots of motivation and appreciation. This is where the organization power booms from the leader.
6) Have the active and rest phase at the right time. Human is naturally hate involving in one thing for a very long time. Just like student hate study and want to work, while worker hate working and want to study. People don't really want the same food all the time. Many people want to eat different food from time to time.
So, just do a relax or cancelled meeting for certain time. Must not too stringent with events or activities.
That's all for today. Any other opinion? :)
