A leader must have the following
characters in order to acquire leadership skills:
- Be approachable

- Be motivational
- Be apologetic
- Be able to delegate and work as
team
- Be accessible
A leader needs to
lead transformational not transactional. When a leader is leading through
leadership skills there will be no contracts signed aside, a leader will lead
revolutionary an example of a leader who leaded revolutionary is Dr Nelson
Mandela. He is SA Icon; he is our logo and many other things that I might not
be able to write down now. He is not the only leader with such skills I just
chose him as an example we have leaders such as Thabo Mbeki, Helen Zille, Winnie
Madikizela- Mandela and Desmond Tutu.
“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom: Autobiography of Nelson Mandela
A leader can lead
in a two way process it is either on a positive way or on a negative way. There
are so many leaders the leave their lives to misled people and people realized
when it is too late to turn back. Our focal area today will not be on those who
mislead people because they are not building but destroying. Our Nation today
is living the free-life of the freedom of speech; of human rights we salute
those leaders who acquired a set of leadership skills. Maybe by now as I am
writing this peace I should have never got this chance but to remain slavery in
a sort of being domestic worker for misleaders.
