Are there characteristics that effective leaders have in common?

Leadership is inherent. Success at it will require some preparation. In order to carry out the mission, orders or contracts, a leader must have some assets. The question of: are there characteristics that effective leaders have in common? Now, let's start it this way. If you studied the lives of great leaders, even those around you, I guess you would be able to see some similarities. Leaders inspire. To inspire is to activate, to mobilize. To inspire is to make others internalize your
decisions, your value or your goals.

Leaders who cannot inspire people would often try to manipulate them. But true leadership is setting example for others to emulate because they are inspired.  On the other hands, those who instigate fear in people, and even threaten or promise, are not leaders. Instead they are manipulators. Their soul aim is to demonstrate their power, control and even abuse people.

Now let's consider this; If I make you want to do what I ask you to do that's inspirational leader but if I order you to do something and I threaten you with consequences—that's coercion. Leading by example doesn't require manipulation.

What's the fundamental evidence of true leadership? Influence is the fundamental evidence of true leadership. Your ability to influence others positively—making people do what they never thought of doing but in a more polite way other than by coercion. Although, most times we mistake influence to manipulation but I tell you this—to get someone to do something, you must influence the person, but as a servant leader you are expected not to threaten or oppress. You have a  better chance of influencing others if you can inspire them and you inspire them through your own passion.

Passion is the heart of leadership. Passion produces inspiration and only if you can inspire them I tell you that you can also influence people.

Inspiration has a lot to offer a true leader because it helps to motivate followers in achievement of greater success.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
