LEADERSHIP QUALITIES TO LEARN FROM A WORLD LEADER

Updated: Sep 19, 2021



Barack Obama, the 44th man to grace the Oval Office, and the first black president of the United States possessed all the characteristics of a leader. He’s skilled in the art of oration and global leadership, has the ability to build a team, present ideas fluently, and make quick decisions in a crisis.




1. Leading through a crisis


At the point when president Obama took office, the world was in an emergency. Lehman Brothers had imploded, and a global monetary emergency had been started. Obama immediately endorsed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a $831 billion recovery bundle. Over a time of development and job creation—the longest in American history—followed.


Like world leaders who are battling with the COVID-19 pandemic today Obama showed that, in an emergency, quick and decisive policy action is needed.


The spontaneous intelligence of Obama made him a world leader and is something every leader must aspire to learn.


2. Being socially sensitive


To win the administration Obama needed to arrange an alliance of electors from across America's social separation. Pew Research Center showed that although Republican John McCain in 2008 won 55% to Obama's 43% of the white vote, president Obama overwhelmed when it went to the black vote (95%), Latino vote (67%), and the Asian vote (62%).


Without the variety of help it's absolutely impossible that Obama would have dominated the race for the White House. Similarly he discovered accomplishment by building a different help base and group. One of the authority examples you learn in the business college homeroom is to cooperate and lead groups of individuals from everywhere in the world, which was well implemented by Obama during the span of his presidency.


3. An uplifting attitude


Does anybody recall Obama's mission motto?


'Yes We Can'. Three words that recounted an account of idealism and one of conviction. Sometimes the secret to an effective mission is confidence and positivity. With their decision of motto for the 2008 US political race, Obama's group hit the nail on the head.


As it is rightly said ‘positivity attracts positivity’ and hence an uplifting attitude demonstrated by a leader helps encourage a team and people.


4. Inspiring others and resisting the urge to panic under tension


You can envision sitting in charge of the United States in the Oval Office is a foot up on the work area, strolling in the recreation center sort of work, isn't that so?


The workplace of the administration of the United States requests regard, polished methodology, and constant difficult labor for a very long time. Stressful, no doubt.


Yet, every time he talked during his two terms, or each time you hear anybody consider their time under his initiative, one thing is clear: Obama kept his groups propelled and quiet under tension. Any hopeful chiefs need to remove that leaf from the previous president's book.


Leading by example is one of the most critical qualities that a leader must exercise including inspiring others and handling stressful situations and this leadership trait was well demonstrated by Obama at various instances.


5. Listening


During his administration Obama read 10 letters from individuals from the public consistently. It was his method of guaranteeing he didn't influence the current goal: to serve the American public.


At the point when government pioneers can frequently appear to be isolated from individuals they serve, this is a gentle reminder that it doesn’t take much to connect.


From employees and the environment, to the society you serve at large, take the time to listen which gives you qualities of a good leader and helps you get an edge to be a successful leader.
