Hi,
I believe, leadership is a skill and not just an add on along with experience. Experience certainly comes with age, but leadership is a skill that is not age specific.
A good leader would and should be capable of having a good understanding of his co-workers and a practical analysis to a given task as it helps him/her delegate and assign duties accordingly. However, we come across many leaders who have various individual methods of functioning. A few tend to be dominant and dictate, whereas a few, in the want to be a good leader and be loved by all tend to be less disciplined and over pally with the co-workers, which may not help them shape as a respectful leader.
A leader should know to balance a tactful relationship with his work and co-workers so as to skillfully complete the task of being a responsible and respected leader without going overboard.
Good leaders know how to communicate with others in a respectful way that also motivates them.
The Golden Rule of treating others how you expect to be treated is one of the most crucial leadership traits because it allows leaders to have empathy for those who work for them. Leaders must be able to get things done through other people, so empathizing with employees when giving out assignments and tasks is usually much more effective than barking out orders.
