LEADERSHIP Fritz Reid, XID Leadership is many things. It cannot be reduced to any one formula. but there are many things which can be said albout it. We may read any number of books and pamphlets entitled Leader- ship, but we often miss the b-ooks which will aid us most in leadership. Many of the best of these blooks and pamphlets are not entitle-d Le-adership, but are biographies and histories. Any person who understands the Value of such reading is wise. A person is not able to follow any particular course in Lead- ership despite the aids and materials he may read. It is not easy to be a strong and capable leader, e-ither inside or outside of the home. Leadership must be- gin in the h-ome to be of excellent quality. It has been said many times that a leader is a 1na11y sided personality. He has many and varied duties to perfoim. People want to work unde.r a strong a11d capable leader. They do this because they wa11t to enjoy life. They want to get satisfaction from their ac- tivities of which the most important is work. The satisfactions and dissatis- factions a person finds in his work influence his entire life. T'he job of the leader is not an easy one. Many people think it is, but these people know little of the work which he is doing. The betlter the leader is, the more he must work to hold his position. Once- a person is a successful leader he cannot lie down on the job., Among the many qualities a leader must possess, ten are most import ant. Y l These are : 1. Competence: There is no alternative for competence. A leader must know his Job both backwards and forwards. 2. Unselfishness: A leader 's first thought is to help his fellow people. which he cannot do if he is constantly thinking of himself. 3. Absolute Integrity: Everything tlhat a leader does should be done honestly and wi-th the best intentions, because if a leader uses in any way a dishonest method, he will not be trusted again, no matter what he does to re- deem himself. 4. Gfood Judgment: A leader must be able to dete-rmine what is right and what IS wron.g a11d when it comes to making a decision, he must make it quickly, alld in most cases, correctly. 5. A Gifted Trainer: A leader must be able to communicate ideas, skills alld enthusiasm. D 6. lndustriousness: A leader must be willing to pitch in and 'help in any way m NVll1Cl1 he IS able. 7. Good Health: Must be in good health and endurable so as his fol- lowers will take his example. 32
