May 14, 2016 (SSB) — The governor of eastern lakes state YIROL HON: RIN TUENY MABIOR has chosen the unique and genuine open door policy of interacting with the state elders, traditional leaders and mannered youths to recommend and second on the already existing policy and contributes their suggestions and opinions to their potential governor and state ministers.

Leadership is a common and quite simple word but rather very difficult word to define due to its complexity and multifaceted composition. Leadership exists in different ways: It is an act of influencing activities of an organized group in its quest to set goals and also to achieve certain goals (bass). He also defined leadership to mean the influence that somebody exercises in a situation by means of communication in order to attain a specified goal, which is so common with our governor in term of addressing and presenting our state affairs on media.

However in order to be a leader you require a variety of qualities. A good leader is one who doesn’t know everything: trying to imagine that effective leadership is related to knowing everything is one of the most dangerous misconceptions in the field of leadership. So as much as the final decision and responsibility lies with one individual, it is important for every leader to gather other peoples’ opinions or views and respects them before making a final decision on an issue.

To be a good leader one also need to be open to change. This is one of the obvious factors that take place in life including areas where we work but has remained strongly resisted by mankind. However effective leadership demands that we anticipate all changes whether minor or major and respond to them promptly to allow growth to take place. On other hand however, it is also important to understand some of the attributes associated with bad leadership in life so as to avoid them completely when one is aspiring to be a leader.

In order to be a leader one should avoid being a pal boss. This character is normally exhibited when a leader make pal instead of being a leader after failing to acquire the recognition of a leader amongst employees. Experts hold it that bosses can never be buddies with their employees; in fact their power and authority are always neutralized by friendships. Such relationships are always known to cloud the objectivity of a leader and hinder his/her ability to correct behaviors, delegate and to hold employees accountable for their responsibilities, omissions or commissions. As a person strive to climb the ladder of good leadership, it is important to avoid disorganization in leadership because such behavior always leads to having employees without direction just like their leaders. In fact disorganized leaders don’t always guide their teams properly because they don’t deliver and manage their plans and strategies appropriately.
