3 Ways a Great Leader Must Think

Leaders are very crucial to all successful businesses, be they small or large. Leaders must be able to stand out of the pack, not do what is common but what is right and must make his actions for the sole benefit of the organization he belongs to. Just what must a great leader think in order to fulfill his job of leading the people effectively?

Firstly, he must be able to think of the point of his organization. To do that, he must be able to first put his organization before himself. He must be able to identify what the rewards are from every business venture of the organization and how the organization will benefit from it all. He must be able to think about all aspects of any matters and on every point of view of the organization. Only after he is able to do all that will he really fight for the organization and its profits - and not for himself.

Secondly, he must be able to not only think from his viewpoint, but also from the viewpoint of the competitor. A good leader of an organization will think how the competitor will triumph over his own, what are the tactics that they might employ to defeat him and his organization. Tactics may include how the competitor might use different ploys, such as different advertising techniques, to gain a market edge over his own organization. By knowing these tactics, the leader will then be able to use these tactics to gain an edge over the opponent and therefore triumph.

Lastly, a good leader of an organization must have foresight - the foresights to not only see what the future holds for the organization but, more importantly, what are the problems the organization may meet. He must have the ability to spot telltale signs that some things are going wrong and take steps to prevent the organization from going down the wrong route. He could then use this foresight to put in place measures to prevent the problems from occurring. He could also use this ability to maximize profits for the organizations. He may do it in different ways. One could be to have the ability to spot potential moneymakers and be able to capitalize on the moneymakers. The second is to be able to spot loopholes in the existing money maker machine of the organization and modify them further to maximize profits for the company. The third would be to identify loopholes in the competitor and take full advantage of such loopholes to maximize the profits that could be made from the enemy. Foresight could also be used to determine future market patterns and just by doing that, he could predict where the market is leaning and can then take steps to profit from it ahead of the competition and gain a foothold in the new market before the competition does.
