There exists a famous anecdote on President Kennedy’s visit to NASA headquarters, where on being asked, a janitor explained that he was helping put a man on the moon. This clearly shows the leadership level at NASA which brought pride to work among all. Each human being has experienced leadership of some sort since childhood beginning with family and then other social exchanges. It is an exchange between leader and follower, involving both verbal and non-verbal cues. Leaders with the right level of charisma, social skills and empathy are preferred. Leadership competencies may be divided into five broad groupings. They are- ethics and safety, self-organization, efficiency at learning, nurturing growth and forging connections. Leadership differs from management in five major ways. First of all, a leader must possess the right talent management capabilities which refers to having the capacity to listen, feel and understand others’ fears, needs and expectations. A leader will not fear to explore the unknown as long is creativity is fused with the right logical thinking. His/her attitude must allow for leaving their comfort zone, while practicing self-discipline. Adaptability to the given scenario is another important trait to possess. Finally, the leader must display the rightdoze of passion to raise team potential.
