You are not a leader just because you are responsible for a group of people. A title doesn’t make you a leader, but it might allow you to start becoming one.

There are two fundamental elements of leadership; having a positive attitude about leadership and retaining the right capability to lead.

A positive attitude toward leadership is the essential quality of a good leader. You start being a leader when you believe in yourself and recognize the passion for leading. If you are still among people who think they are not leadership material or that leadership is not for them, you will not become a leader.

No one is born a leader. We are born human. As humans, we all have the potential to lead. We are born while having our own unique set of talents, and then we grow up in our unique environment; both of these factors give us the basics to develop our leadership style.

A positive attitude toward leadership gives you the confidence to start developing this critical quality, encourages you to lead, and sets you on the right path to becoming an effective leader.

The second element of leadership is the capability to lead. This element comes with years of practice and proactively seeking knowledge in the field.

The first element helps you rise as a leader and take leadership responsibilities, and the second element enables you to lead effectively and become successful.
