We have often heard about the different qualities that a good leader must posses or have. But often, we tend to ignore the fact that,\"a leader should be friendly\". An alpha dog leadership can in the end turn out to be derogative for the employees, system and the leader himself! Being soft, gentle and warm in your relationships- even in the times of anger and tension, can earn you accolades and esteem from the employees and other people.
There are a number of reasons why friendliness is a leadership necessity. Firstly, if you have a friendly attitude, then people will respond more openly and positively to you. Every one wants to happy; and friendliness is a great way to spread happiness.
Secondly, whether leaders know it or not, their speeches or actions are carefully ensured or observed by people. By diverging friendliness leaders are being the way that are the ends in the making. Thirdly, exhibiting friendliness even in the saddest circumstances can make you a example in the organization. This will help you to set an example of how people should react in such hard times.
Of course, by displaying friendly attitude, you are sure that many people will support your cause. Basically, leaders cannot motivate or force people to work according to them, and it is up to the people whether to work for you or against you. But if you are friendly, then there are more chances that you\'ll be supported or loved by everyone.
Geting results through friendliness is a lot more easier than co-ercion or force. Unfriendly poeple have to go through a lot of trouble getting people motivated in order to achieve targets or results.
So,if you want to be a good leader, be a good human being first! With a friendly and warm attitude, you can win hearts of all the people in your organization.
