As a leader, how do you become a better leader?

1) Observe.  Observe yourself, and others.  What is good leadership?  What is not?

2) Think. 

3) Empathise.  Put yourself in the shoes of others.

4) Be a good follower.

5) Always remember the nature of the relationship that you have with your team: you are their servant.

Leading a group requires a mutual sense of trust and understanding between the leader and the team members.

As a first step toward that goal, leaders should learn to connect. Building a real personal connection with your teammates is vital.

As a leader i should empathically listen to my team, try to solve their problem as if it is my own problem, appreciate their work often , try to keep them stress free and interested in work, never get angry or say anything in front of others, respect them and their ideas & choices. This way of dealing with my team will bring maximum out of them. ultimately its the team who decides wheather i am good leader or not

You'll become a good Leader if you are a good Follower.

1. Create atmosphere when anybody can come to discuss anything problem with you.

2. When your staff make mistakes, rather then killing their soul, groom them to learn from their mistake and never disgrace them from their mistakes.

3. When needed, become strict for required period of time and then again become soft and polite.

Most of all us stop following and start focusing on leading alone. Once become a leader, we must continue to follow the better or and effective leader to become better effective leader.
