My Leadership Philosophy

Am I a leader? The first thought which comes to my mind for this question is what is leadership? My response to that thought is that Leadership is ability to lead others but then I again think to myself is that really what leadership means to me. For the question of being a leader the first response which comes in my mind is no I am not a leader. A person can never call itself a leader. It will be too despot to apply a title of leader to yourself. I am just an individual who has self-belief and faith in my abilities.

This develops a faith in the team and your team members start believing in you and give their best to achieve the goals. And when everyone in the team performs with complete enthusiasm and ability there is no way to stop success.

"Success does not come with hard work; it comes with perseverance". This one line has a deep meaning which teaches me never give up. Hard work is not the only key to success. When I see an ant climbing the wall, a toddler trying to walk the only thing I figure out is perseverance. They don't give up until they achieve what they intended or wanted to get.
