THE QUALITIES OF A LEADER
3
Speaking about leadership may prove to
be, if not a challenge, a very difficult task
having in view the complexity of the topic, the
divergent opinions and the confusion between
manager and leader, between the formal position
and the personal ability to rule.
4

• Are there born leaders or do they grow
  to be leaders? What should our features be in
  order to qualify for a leadership position? What
  is the difference between a leader and a manager?
  Who decides if you are a leader or not?

5

• If I were to give the definition of what
  I call a leader, I would say they are that
  person able to influence the others to contribute
  according to their capacities to accomplishing
  the leaders vision. One can infer some necessary
  features of a leader out of this definition

6

• 1. Having a vision
• A leader is the one who has a vision on
  things, a factor of change, one who follows
  R.W.Emersons advice Dont go wherever your
  road takes you to. But go where there is no path
  at all and leave a trace.

7

• The leader is an innovator who, having the
  experience of the past and acting at present,
  shapes the future. They assume risks and dare ask
  more than all the others, they decide what
  direction to follow.
• Much too often, people dont think big. They are
  afraid of risks. Leaders arent. They have a long
  term perspective and scrutinize the horizon.

8

• 2. Influencing and transforming
• A leader has the capacity to communicate and to
  fulfill this vision, the power to persuade the
  people around them to follow them.
• Gilmores law says Look over your shoulder now
  then so that you can make sure someone does
  follow you.

9

• If people dont follow you out of passion
  and pleasure, we know for sure we cannot speak of
  leadership. A leader doesnt need managerial
  tools in order to motivate their employees, they
  are able to motivate by their own enthusiasm, by
  the confidence they inspire, by their own
  example.

10
3. They are an example for the
others Leaders are those who give the
tuning. The leaders attitude will shape the
attitude of the other employees. A leader cannot
demand from the others a thing the leader does
not possess.

11

• 4. They have the ability to generate leaders
• If managers are inclined to rely on systems
  and commands, leaders rely on people. To ensure
  success, leaders identify each and everyones
  potential and cultivate it. They become the
  mentor of their team.

12

• Women play a vital role in this century and thus
  a new leadership style was born. Its coordinates
  are elegance, flexibility and passion, this is
  the feminine leadership.
• The importance of feminine leadership in the
  Romanian society is continuously growing due to
  dynamics, change and risk exposure. Feminine
  leadership brings about balance, cooperation and
  mutual benefits.

13

• A woman leaders profile includes a strong
  personality, logical thinking in a perfect
  balance with intuition, responsibility,
  unprejudiced acting and a permanent thirst of
  knowledge, as well as unlimited access to
  information and valuable resources.
• A project centered on feminine leadership is
  very suitable nowadays. The involvement of the
  modern woman in society development is a
  phenomenon that deserves all our attention and
  interest. No matter which is their domain of
  activity - politics, business, culture or civil
  society - women bring in everything they do
  dedication, intuition, charitable spirit and
  empathy (from the message of Her Royal Highness
  Princess Margaret of Romania).

14

• In Romania there are certain women leaders who
  are able to be successful business women,
  mothers, wives and extraordinary friends. Angela
  Cretu, the leader of Avon Cosmetics, is such an
  example.

15

• Adelina Maria is Secretary General of the
  Leaders foundation. In 2008 she initiated the
  first school of leadership in Romania, targeting
  on 18 to 25 year olds.
• Leadership Academy is another new program on the
  Romanian market and it was developed by the same
  Adelina Maria within the Leaders foundation
  since 2009, addressing the new wave of young
  Romanian managers and entrepreneurs. She is also
  running leadership courses for high school
  students.

16

• The vision, performance and the way leaders run
  their team come first, it is a gender free
  matter. Inequalities between sexes do exist, this
  is a fact, but women have quite a short way to go
  up to real equality.
• This war of the sexes is likely to be won not by
  the present leaders but by the next generation,
  provided it is properly educated and uses the
  enthusiasm only the young have.
