A good leader has to posses traits such as being able to serve is followers needs, rather than the other way around. He should always have a high morale, rallying his team in times of trials. If a leader cannot maintain a high morale during trials, how is the team suppose to face that problem with a positive attitude. He also needs to have a good character, maintain composure in times of crisis.
During a time of crisis, a leader must utilize this quality of reaming calm and composure. After that, he should be able to use his critical thinking skills to access the situation and solve it. Meanwhile he should also keep his team's morale n spirits high, not letting them give up or have a "die already" attitude. This way, a good leader would be able to manage a situation of crisis.

eLearning CE: Activity 3 Azeem Arshad Vasanwala
Traits of a good leader
-A good leader will look at how a decision will affect him and others in the long term not the short term.
-A good leader steps up to a challenge
-A good leader can is able to hold his ground and not be bias when making a decision
-A good leader knows will go all the way when doing something
I good leader will always make choices that will benefit his followers in the long term, and he or she will try his or her best to do so on the long term as well but he or she might not always be successful in doing so. A leader will be able to guide his or her followers on a path, but a GOOD leader will guide them on the right path. This is also true if the leader is guiding them on the wrong path unknowingly, as he thinks he is doing the right thing. The fact that he is able to motivate people to follow him is what makes him a good leader.
eLearning CE: Activity 3 - Justin Ong (18)
Traits of a leader in my opinion:
-Look at the big picture and act accordingly, even though it might not be good short term, it would benefit greatly in the long term.
-Responsible, not running away when problems arise.
-Honest, not swayed/tempted by money
-Determined, does not give up easily
I think a good leader under stress and pressure would think about the consequences of whatever he does and how it would affect his followers in the long run, for example, how going to war would affect the people and the stability of the country. A good leader would also never run away while under stress or pressure and would instead be determined to suceed. They would also be responsible for his or her own actions and not try to use their own influence or power to "escape" but face the consequences of their actions.
eLearning CE: Activity 3 - Lucas Chia (16)
What traits do they possess?
A good leader is team orientated and does not think about his own personnel gain when he completes a task, instead he thinks about the team's long term gain in accomplishing the task at hand. In addition to being team orientated, a good leader is also just and impartial. He is not biased towards a particular person or belief and considers the ideas provided by all of his group members, in other words, he knows when to be a follower. A good leader also believes in himself and his groups members and trusts that the task given to each of them can be accomplished in time and with good quality. A good leader is also an excellent listener. He will listen to your problems when you tell them to him and will help you think of ideas on how to solve those problems. He will also work out a compromise with you should you approach him with a reason about not being able to complete a task. Finally, a good leader will be honest and keep to his promises and not go back on them.
How do you think a good leader manages crisis under stressful situations?
A good leader would categorize the problems he has under not urgent and not important, not urgent but important, urgent but not important and urgent and important. He will then split up the urgent things that have to be done with his group members with reasons on why the task must be completed and give them a deadline to complete the task. He would also distribute the work fairly with his group members, taking into consideration the current workload that each member has.

eLearning CE: Activity 3 - Ho Yan Jin (02)
Character and traits in leadership:
Leadership are in everyone of us, but sometimes we are leaders, sometimes we are not. If we show behaviour that are wrong, we are not leading others in the right way.
The first trait of a leader is building excellence, by first being a leader of good and honourable character. A leader also has to be honest, competent, forward-looking, inspiring, fair-minded, courageous, straightforward and imaginative. Leaders have also have to have strong characters, showing energy, determination, self-discipline and willpower. This will attract followers, because they feel that he/she can be trusted.
According to a survey by Korn-Ferry International, respondents said they wanted leaders who are ethical and have a strong vision of the future. A leader has to build his/her character starting by firming up their beliefs, values, skills and traits.
Honesty, integrity and self-respect are important traits too. If a leader does not respect his/her self and lies, would followers still want to follow?
A good leader manages crisis under stressful situations well. Stress, if in right amounts, is a good thing, helping us to stretch our minds more, and get more things done. Although it might be a little challenge for a leader, he/she should treat it as a challenge and opportunity to learn more and be better and handling situations like these in the future.

| for me, the traits of a leader would be: a sharp wit a silver tongue and a proactive attitude a leader would need these traits because of the rising difficulty of the crisis may call for a much quicker brain to process and lead, whilst needing a silver tongue to coerce and convey the message to his members, or if that does not work then his proactive attitude would finish it. i think that a good leader would be able to recruit and properly use his team members' abilities to its fullest, while recognising how to rid the group of freeloaders/ dead weight. |
