Draft #01.

Leadership is an inevitable junction in growth. Once I have learned something, keep doing it over and over again is not the smartest idea but then again that job must get done. One aspect is that another person can take responsibility for that job and it will be good for them at that point, and you can move onto the next level. This kind of mentorship and training are one of the core responsibility of a leader.

A leader needs to be clear. His responsibility is to have a clear vision, refine it, and communicate it. If a leader is doing his job correctly what needs to be achieved should be very clear. What is accepted and not accepted should also be clear. A leader should review periodically how the progress is being made and correct any diversion and make sure that the same mistake does not happen again and again.

One of the crucial job of the leader is to select the right team. The team members should have the potential to solve a new challenge and should have the necessary knowledge. A team member should not be arrogant and disturbing to the other people. It is a leaders responsibility to give gentle feedback on these and hold people accountable. In the case of not living up to expectation ultimately it is the leader’s job to terminate an employee.

A leader should not be overly strict or loose, there should be clear discipline and employee should not be exploited. A leader should understand if the job is putting people under stress and they need some release.

A leader should be comfortable with working on things that they do not fully understand. For example, if I need someone to do a 3D print than there has to be a way for me to understand that the work is being done with a certain degree of quality and being progressed with incremental change.

A leader should be able to solve interpersonal issues between the team, is responsible for creating the culture.
