TED Talks (5) title: What it takes to be a great leader
The presenter Rosalinda Torres spoke about what makes a great leader today? each of us carries the image of a superhero in his mind who works miracles in doing all the works required of him so that he can accomplish them in their various levels and stages. There are also programs dedicated to developing leaders that build on the success of their leadership models.
The great leader creates in man himself where the programs and training he gets are not sufficient for him. Rather, he must search and excavate everything that makes him a great leader by trying to refine and translate the talents he enjoys on the ground within the limits of the possibilities granted to him.
There are studies conducted in this regard that indicate the existence of large gaps, including the leadership gap in important leadership roles. "I spent a quarter of my professional life observing what great leaders do and working within fortune 500 companies," Rosalinda says. "Then in recent years I noticed a disturbing trend in preparing the great leaders like the story of Chris, the iconic leader who moved from an old unit to a new unit."
Rosalinda Torres added, "Which made me come to my mind many questions awaiting an answer, including two questions, one of which talks about widening gaps when there is investment?" What are leaders doing to grow and prosper? Which led me to quit my job in order to learn the stories of great leaders and how they succeed”.
Among them was the story of Mandela, who was smart enough to get ahead of his generation and society in understanding the economic, social and political aspects of society. And Sydney CEO, who was very disappointed, is now considered one of the best company for leaders.
Rosalinda mentioned: I extracted the characteristics of great leaders and put them in the form of questions as follows: What makes a great leader in the 21st century? what is the measure of diversity for a personal and professional stakeholder network? Are you courageous to abandon a practice that made you successful previously? These three questions will determine your effectiveness as a leader of the twenty-first century. "
A great leader must have high qualities and skills that qualify him for this high position, and he must have patience and emotional endurance, to bear the opinions of people who will tell you that your idea is a failure.
