How to be an excellent leader?
In an organization, leaders play an extremely important role. Kilbert Felho believes that leaders are promoters of employee development, makers of strategic vision to stimulate organizational potential, creators of cultural values and advocates of change, negotiators who work closely with subordinates, educators of subordinates, and dual promoters of leadership performance and employee self-development. An organization needs leadership. An excellent elite team with high mobility and high target completion rate needs an excellent leader. However, a thousand troops are easy to get, generals are hard to find, and handsome talents are rare. With the development of social economy, politics and other aspects, the role of leadership has become increasingly prominent. Disappointingly, the expectation of society has not brought enough outstanding leaders. In fact, this is why our excellent organizations (enterprises) are so rare today. A good manager is not equal to a good leader. So what kind of excellent leaders do we need? How to cultivate such leaders? From an open definition, leadership is a process that enables people to create ideals and have the ability to turn dreams into reality and make them last. Therefore, leadership is mainly manifested as an influence. Let's call it "leadership". Therefore, to cultivate excellent leadership is mainly to cultivate excellent leadership. Leadership is not an innate ability, but the ability of people who are interested in becoming leaders to know and manage themselves, which is often gradually acquired through acquired practice. Leadership does not represent a special position or strategy, it is only a reflection of the leader's real lifestyle. The qualities and characteristics that an excellent leader should possess. Most people think that an excellent leader generally has the following qualities: pay attention to always establishing a good image in front of subordinates; Create a prestige aura for yourself from time to time; Give full play to the influence as a manager; Good at using emotional skills to convince subordinates; Integrate the correct concept into the subtle management; realize

Fully authorized without losing control; Learn the critical strategy of "respecting morality and carrying things"; Show charm in properly handling difficult problems; Pay attention to constantly improve your ability and quality, and so on. How to cultivate excellent leadership ability, the author wants to analyze it from the following five aspects from the perspective of leadership philosophy. First of all, leaders should have excellent moral qualities. From the perspective of leadership philosophy, leadership is an act of showing noble morality. Excellent moral character is the most basic quality that a person should possess and the foundation of his career. It can make people feel respected and attract people to learn imitation consciously or unconsciously, thus generating great driving force and inspiration. Therefore, as a leader, we should first pay attention to our own behavior cultivation. According to Confucianism, the only way to govern the world is to learn from the scriptures, stand at attention, be sincere, cultivate one's morality and keep one's family in order. Confucius advocated the rule of virtue, believing that the root of the rule of virtue lies in the good moral cultivation of the dominant people. Confucius said; "Politicians, it is also. Zi Shuai is right, who dares to be wrong? " Then he said, "If the son is in power, why kill him? Children are better and people are better. A gentleman is virtuous, but a villain is virtuous. The wind on the grass must be suppressed. " He also said: "He is honest and does not command; His body is not right, although he does not obey. " Philosopher Lao Zi summed up the essence of leadership by observing the law that there is no preference between heaven and earth, everything revives in spring, everything flourishes in summer, everything withers in autumn and everything returns to Tibet in winter: leaders should have heaven and earth-like cultivation and virtue. Therefore, Mao Zedong's grandeur and foresight are enough to start a prairie fire, even if it is only a single spark. Zhou Enlai's open mind and approachability have so far discouraged people, while Deng Xiaoping's stupidity and ease of lifting weights have made people carry out reform and opening up in full swing. Selfish Chen Shui-bian will only alienate others, and empty leadership without lofty morality will only become a tyrant-Hitler. So how to cultivate the virtue of light and wind in order to create its great personality influence?

Self-denial. Leaders must strengthen their self-cultivation and start from self-denial. Confucius talked about "self-denial and self-courtesy", demanding to restrain one's own selfish desires and make them conform to etiquette norms; Mencius talked about "few desires" and thought that "cultivating the mind is not good at few desires". A leader with prestige and personality influence must be a person with high moral self-discipline consciousness and ability. Laozi said: "The husband does not dispute, and the world cannot compete with him." The ancient official admonition also said: "The official is not afraid of my strictness but my honesty, and the people are not afraid of my ability but not my crowd. People dare not slow down, and honest officials dare not bully. Gong Mingsheng, winning streak. " Have the spirit of service. Service is the most important embodiment of the value of leadership and the basic attribute of leadership. In the philosophy of leadership, the goal of leadership is how to build a caring and just society. Leaders' energy is mainly devoted to the development of the organization, the coordination of personnel relations within the organization and the self-satisfaction of the members of the organization. Leaders should set goals for their subordinates, let them create ideals, broaden their thinking and space, and encourage them to actively achieve organizational goals. Respect others. Every leader should bear in mind the truth of facing up to human nature and meeting the reasonable needs of human beings. Leaders should realize that "people" should be an end, not a means. Every excellent leader will respect, understand and trust his subordinates, treat them equally, be generous to others, care about their lives, interests and wishes, and listen to their opinions with an open mind. At the same time, he will not put the blame on his subordinates, let alone take it out on others, so as to achieve the desired effect and benefit others. Don't do what others want to do. Secondly, leaders should play their own roles. From the perspective of leadership philosophy, leadership is challenging, crossing time and space and organizational boundaries, triggering changes and providing hope. Therefore, for organizations, leaders should play two types, that is, four different roles: one is the role of transformation, including propaganda and agitation.

Slightly home; The second is pragmatic roles, including analysts and doers. As propagandists, leaders should attach importance to people's dedication, emphasize the value of the organization, motivate employees with new goals and ambitions, and create an inspiring atmosphere; As strategists, leaders should pay attention to the future, understand the latest development trends, emphasize the purpose and direction, describe the vision and blueprint of organizational development, and so on; As an analyst, leaders should pay attention to the operational efficiency of the organization, evaluate ongoing projects and plans, and coordinate conflicting views and needs; As doers, leaders should pay attention to performance, emphasize results, solve problems, make decisions that affect subordinates and so on. Therefore, leaders should have a strong sense of mission, become organizational thinkers and reformers, dare to take risks and surpass themselves after possessing lofty moral character. They should be a synthesis of three primitive types: politicians, technologists and poets. Their foresight can make strategic decisions in a changing environment and guide the organization forward. Their professionalism, professional ability, interpersonal communication, things analysis and other comprehensive abilities are deeply admired by followers, and their enthusiasm and optimism can infect everyone around them. Furthermore, leaders should keep learning. From the perspective of leadership philosophy, leadership is a creative activity that contains wisdom and value. In such an era of knowledge economy and information explosion, leaders can only strengthen theoretical knowledge, cultural and scientific knowledge and management knowledge through different forms, and constantly explore and forge ahead. Then when making decisions, I can stand tall, see far, be considerate, be active in thinking, have research and innovation, and be impressed by my subordinates, thus enhancing my personality strength. Otherwise, we can't keep up with the requirements for leaders in the era of knowledge economy. Then, leaders should form good psychological quality.
