To be a good leader leads by example. Leading by example, or "walk the talk" means that you should know your job well before you can direct or lead others. Leaders are individuals who should inspire, motivate and direct others, as a leader ensure that your words and actions deliver feelings of being inspired, getting motivated and being lead. A good leader is moralistic and ethical. He/She does not say or do wrong.

Being a good leader is about striking the right balance between people management and task management. One cannot precede the other, only when they go in tandem, the results will flow efficiently and effectively. It is a win-win situation for people working and the tasks being accomplished.

A good leader encourages his team or his follower at every step. The leader gives them sufficient time to learn and make mistakes. A good leader always follows up on the tasks or the commitments.

A good leader will distinguish between the good and the bad, the weak and the strong and he knows right from wrong. He/She balances between work and fun. You lighten up and surprise your team once in a while, and allow for relaxation and recharge. As a leader you create a comfortable atmosphere, good body language and words that sound approachable and warm.
