The best leaders are those who can lead and direct without misuse of their power. They must be able to inspire others in a direction or greater good. They must be strong enough to stand firm in decision making and leading others without an egotistical attitude. A great team leader will encourage others to brain storm and contribute to the whole. They also lead by example and intelligently. They are also good listeners.

Hi.mam,

The three distinct qualities that define a natural leader are:

1.How much do people look forward to that person for  direction.

2. How deeply do people value that person's thinking.

3.How supported by that person , others feel.

The other traits ar given below:

A natural leader is inspired and inspiring, and often inspiring others to, themselves, be inspiring.

A natural leader is the heart, rather than the head, of an organization, radiating both passion and love.

A natural leader encourages rather than directs.

A natural leader enables rather than the controls.

A natural leader holds a deep and dynamic vision, rather than authority.

A natural leader empowers rather than rewards.

A natural leader is not a natural follower.

A natural leader is confident, but not egotistical.

A natural leader doesn’t dwell on problems, but rather is driven towards positive outcomes. 

A natural leader is independent and yet inclusive.

A natural leader is a dreamer and a doer.

I believe, Natural leader is one who so well influences and mentors his team, that the team can function as a well oiled machine even when he is not around. 

The leader does not create a dependency or fan following, but rather helps create am excellent environment thereby producing potential leaders for tomorrow..

His decision making skills, brave nature, open mindedness, approachable nature.. are all looked upon with great respect.. 

 

thanks
