Footsteps Towards Becoming A Leader Under Shackleton Leadership Program

By Elena McDowell


Shackleton leadership program ensures that those who under go through the program, become great leaders in future. The following are some of the steps one should consider if they wish to be a great leader in future as provided under the program.

There are three things which one should consider basically. That is thinking the way a leader should think, acting like a leader and also being able to put all the things together. Thinking the way a leader should think entails the following things. The first one is being confidence with all the things you are doing. Your confidence is what will make others to also have confidence in you.

It is also necessary for the leaders to be an expert in the area where they are leading. It is not good if each time people you are leading ask you question in regard to the area you are leading and you are not able to answer them. You need to be in a position to answer them and in situation where you do not know, you need do research and look for the answer. You should therefore work hard to be an expert in those areas.

Leaders are those whom people look up to whenever there is any problem or issue to be addressed. If you are not an expert, you will be defeated to answer them. Hence it is necessary that you have nearly all the information regarding the position of leadership you are occupying. As a leader, one should also understand others and appreciate their opinions as well. This is what will make you be great in whatever you are undertaking.

As a leader you should therefore ensure that you are competent and an expert in the area you are leading others. Caring for other is also important. You must be in a position to know the needs of those whom you are leading and be ready to address their needs as well.

The other thing is to treat your team members well. You must treat them with dignity and like you would treat yourself. You must also show that you are committed to serving others as well as committed to the growth of the team you are leading. If you do not show commitment, then you are likely not to be a good leader.

As a leader, you must treat others equally. You should not show favor others or treat them in a better way more than you are treating others. You should treat all people equally and you must treat them with dignity. The fact that you are a leader should not make you to think that you are better than them. Another issue is being able to put all things together. This involves being in a position to actually identify a problem and to offer solutions on how to solve the problem.

Thinking big is also required of a leader. Thinking big is being able to look beyond the situation at hand and providing a solution which is capable of solving even other problems which might be experienced in future. A leader must also be a person who can make decisions and be ready to be responsible for any consequence which might arise due to the decision they make. All these are covered under the Shackleton leadership program.
