To be a leader means that you are a role model for all of your team.
Do you know how huge this is!
It is really big thing, right!
Knowing that everything is said or done by you really counts.
They will do exact the same as you unconsciously
Whether this will pick them up or down.
This huge responsibility is overwhelming especially in the time of a crisis or economy collapse.
This hardship time is crucial for all the leaders and really differ them. Because as you know not every
leader is a truly influential leader.
Why it is so overwhelming!
As a leader you need to be resilient. This characteristic and skill can identify remarkable leaders.
We will talk about Resilience in another long article.
We need leaders to go through the hardship and adversity without stress meltdown.
We need leaders to go through the hardship time without so much of toxic positivity mumbling that
everything is fine and no problem without setting vision and strategies to execute.
We need leaders to go through the hardship with so much of managing emotions and kind of mental,
emotional and physical resilience as well.
These kinds of leaders are really role model for their team, as they motivate and teach them by doing
and modelling, knowing how to manage emotions and how to handle stress. Signing that leadership is
a responsibility not just a position.
Leaders teach and train the team the power of problem solving, coping skills and how to be resilient in
the face of any challenges that they may face.
Because guess what!
There are always challenges that will face YOU and your team.
Life is full of these kinds of difficulties and challenges. Though, they will be able to go through all these
things by resilience and other important skills the leader has and his/her team will inherent.
Coping skills
One of the skills that leaders need to have is the coping skills. Also the team has to see it and feel it in
the attitude and actions of the Authentic Leader.
The coping skills are these techniques that people respond and do in the face of stress and how they
deal with challenges so that they will perform well.
Coping skills has many types, the leader should acquire at least two of them: the problem based-
coping and the emotional-based- coping
The problem based- coping: means that leader focus on the problem and how to eliminate the stressor/
situation from life/ organization if it is in control which will have positive impact on work environment.
The emotional-based- coping: means that you manage the emotions and lessen the impact of the
stressful situation especially if it is not in your control. Such as practice meditation, mindfulness and
any other activity that can clear your soul and mind to see thing more clear and lessen the impact of
the negative emotions in you.
As Authentic Leader, you have a great responsibility towards your team. They will learn everything from you by modelling.

Ways to be authentic Leader
-
Control Your Ego
-
Seek for credit
-
Always there is better
-
Know when to say enough
-
You are not right every time
-
Wining is trap
-
Let go of control
Being authentic leader requires much of self-management before managing others.
Some of these things:
Control Your Ego: this inner voice that says to you” You are better” You deserve to be head and
shoulders above others “You are the only one that matter” all of these sentence remark that your ego
has to be handled and controlled because most of the time.
Remember that there is always another one who is more talented, better and more successful. This
doesn’t mean that you are not though the point is that you always strive to improvement and don’t
see yourself as superior. Control Your Ego.
Seek Credit from others
Seeking for credit from others makes you a prey to their mooed, appraise and blame and everything in
between. You are not waiting for others to give you credit for your success and achievements.
We all mow that appreciation is a huge value everyone strive for as not everyone is able to do so and
this is according to everyone’s else values and beliefs.
Your achievements are your pride and only yours, don’t wait for others to appreciate or to give you credit for it.
You are not right all the time
There is a misconception claims that there is always right or wrong nothing in between. This half right
half wrong. There is always a gray area grabbing all the exceptions that people believe, feel, think and
behave.
There is not always a clear-cut right and wrong answer to every situation, especially when it comes to
humans. It is really complicated to understand the human minds and souls; there are preferences,
values, interests, situations, cultures, circumstances and much more.
We all have our own perspectives, which can sometimes lead to different outcomes. It’s important to
be understanding and open-minded.
Before judging things on right and wrong scale, take a breath and check if this thing is relating to
humans!! Then accept the fact that you will find lots of things in between.
It’s true that there is not always a clear-cut right and wrong answer to every situation. The best way to
approach any dilemma is to try to look at it from all angles and come to an understanding that makes
sense for the situation. We all have our own perspectives, which can sometimes lead to different
outcomes. It’s important to be understanding and open-minded, and strive to find a resolution that
works for everyone involved.
Winning or losing
A trap people always fell in it!
If you win, you are a winner, if you lose! You know what we will call you!
As Authentic Leader, you have to get another definition for winning.
Let me help you with some definitions
Winning is the last try of 100 mistakes and failures.
Winning is when team intend to face their fears and take the first step
Winning is when team always seek for their personal development
Winning is when team always feel safe with you
Winning is when team plan, execute and take risks
Winning is when team add value wherever they go
Winning is mental state of mind. Once you adapt it! You will be always a winner.
“Your strength doesn’t come from winning. It comes from struggles and hardship. Everything that you go through prepares you for the next level.”
