Leadership Qualities
8. Effective Leader. Barack Obama boosts of qualities and habits of effective leaders that made him a statesman and a leader of the highest repute across the globe. Even countries not having friendly relations with the USA admire Mr. Obama much. Here is few important leadership traits of Barack Obama that makes him an excellent politician and lead a nation for 8 (eight) long years:
A. Conviction and Perseverance . Obama always has conviction and firm belief that if something is right and if you think you are on the right track then you can influence others too and get your message across. This will take some time but eventually you’ll succeed.
B. Taking Risks. The political risks are akin to the risks in taken in real life. So much is at stake that sometimes people put their entire wealth or whatever they have at risk, just for a business venture, for example. Obama always urged people around him and the general public about taking risks, although calculated ones in the start. The more you’ll know about Obama, the more you will be inclined to take risks in the life and benefit from this act rather than fail.
C. The Art of Communication. A person cannot become a leader until and unless he is a great communicator. And it isn’t limited to just being a great speaker. The listening, writing, and reading skills are also important as only a great listener can become a great speaker. Mr. Obama is a leader par excellence as he knows how to talk to any person, group or audience regardless of their background, age, race, gender, etc. And that’s where he truly deserves all the praise for being an immaculate person having perfected the art of communication.
D. Turning Endings Into New Beginnings. A leader is a person who is never satisfied with even his own work and always look to achieve more. Take the example of Barack Obama. With a host of things to do on his list, how he turned an ending into a beginning for the next project dozens of times? That’s where his leadership skills come into effect and made all the difference.
E. Change. Everyone started to talk about change after the Obama’s campaign became successful. It became the buzz word and was used across the board by virtually every person talking about some transformation, revolution, etc. This quality and the way Obama portrayed it almost becomes synonymous with him and whenever someone talked about change, the name of Obama also resonates.
F. We-not-I Attitude. Obama delivers a speech, he talked with the first person plural “we” rather than “I”. This is somewhat distracting at first but when you will take a closer look, this is a clever and smart way to engage the audience. The act of using we is not just pure politics as some of you might comprehend but rather a unique way of making people involved in a conversation and then making them believe they have actually contributed something positive to a cause.
Success Secrets Of Obama
9. Here goes few top success secrets of President Obama:
A. Find Out Your Passion In Life. It is very important to know what interests you the most in life. Doing things without interest will make you only work towards unsuccessful things. Work filled with passion makes your life feel like heaven. You will easily achieve success in life if you have passion and determination in your life.
B. Practice Makes Perfect. Without putting the required efforts into something, it is very difficult to achieve your dreams. Trying to attain your goal by making efforts again and again is very important.
C. Learn To Say ‘We’, Instead of ‘I’. It is very important to realize that you cannot achieve anything in your life alone. At some point or the other, you will definitely need the help of other people. This means that investing in your relationships is important. You can learn from your relationships how to support others, and find those who will be there for you in your difficult times.As Obama states, a person always needs to expand his or her network in order to connect with the right person at the right time.
D. No Loosening Up. Always try to ask questions. It will increase your knowledge and your self-confidence as well. If you keep sitting on your own and do not try to ask questions you have doubts upon, then you will lack in knowledge and will also lose confidence.
E. Avoid The Haters, It’s Okay. According to Obama, if you want to be successful in life, then it is very important to avoid the people who talk bad about you. When a person is young, then it’s fine to listen all the rubbish about you, but when you are a full grown man or woman, it is impossible to listen to the bad people.But as an educated man or woman, you need to act with maturity towards this and handle it easily by avoiding what others are thinking about you. You should just only think about yourself, what you are and what can you do.
Famous Quotes Of Obama
10. President Obama’s famous speeches put him on the map. His flair for the spoken word is widely praised. His most meaningful quotes:
A. On Motivation. “Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition.”
B. On Hope. “Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it and to work for it and to fight for it.”
C. On ‘Yes We Can’: He said,“We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people: ‘Yes we can.’”
D. On Humanity. “All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort — a sustained effort — to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.”
E. On Getting Help. He said, “If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own… I’m always struck by people who think, ‘well, it must be because I was just so smart.’ There are a lot of smart people out there. ‘It must be because I worked harder than everybody else.’ Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help.”
F. On Ending Hate. He said,“The strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression; it is more speech — the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy, and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect.”
G. On Love. Only one thing we can be sure of, and that is the love that we have for our children, for our families, for each other. The warmth of a small child’s embrace, that is true.”
H. On Perseverance: “You can’t give up your passion if things don’t work right away. You can’t lose heart, or grow cynical if there are twists and turns on your journey. The cynics may be the loudest voices — but I promise you, they will accomplish the least. It’s those folks who stay at it, those who do the long, hard, committed work of change that gradually push this country in the right direction, and make the most lasting difference.”
I. On Women. “As husbands and fathers and brothers, we have to step up, because every girl’s life matters. Every daughter deserves the same chance as our sons. Every woman should be able to go about her day — to walk the streets or ride the bus — and be safe, and be treated with respect and dignity. She deserves that.”
J. On Difference. “Because for all our differences, we are one people, stronger together than we could ever be alone. That’s always been our story. We are big and vast and diverse; a nation of people with different backgrounds and beliefs, different experiences and stories, but bound by our shared ideal that no matter who you are or what you look like, how you started off, or how and who you love, America is a place where you can write your own destiny.”
