Enthusiasm and Leadership

What does being an effective leader require?

There are many things actually--but one thing that really makes one stand out is his or her enthusiasm. Without it, one just can't lead effectively. Picture this, even if that leader has the one greatest idea in the room, if he can't influence his team,what are the chances of his idea succeeding? Right?

To be an effective leader, one must learn to inject enthusiasm into his system. Leadership is not just about brains, it's about getting others to your point of view. Being positive and enthusiastic will make you more effective in your leadership role.

Try observing successful leaders, can't you see how they are being enthusiastic about their work, ideas, etc? Now you know what sets them apart in their leadership role--Enthusiasm.
