Leadership does not exist without the followership. A leader has to be accepted by the group which he
is supposed to lead. To gain acceptability, the leader should cause an emotive impact on the group
members.
The characters exhibited by the leaders make them dear to their followers. A leader is one who
effectively inspires employees to achieve worthwhile things. What character of the leader motivates the
followers? It is not pomp and show nor flattery nor sanctioning more incentives. Pomp and show creates a
sense of awe and the leader is deified rather than emulated. Flattery is unrealistic and cannot serve as a
long term motivational tool. A leader's style should be one that can be emulated by all irrespective of
cadre, class and caliber. Simplicity in one's day-to-day conduct is the only thing that can be adopted by
all when the leader is simple, he is counted as one belonging to the group to which he is the leader. That's
enough to motivate the people. Motivation is the innate quality that enables an individual or group, to
contribute unlimitedly with limited means. It is the proud prerogative of enlightened human beings.
A leader needs to assume the role of a guide; quintessential to fulfilling the role is knowledge ability.
Technical and administrative knowledge of the guide in balanced quantity and of right kind are essential.
The technical knowledge is too vast to be acquired by a leader. At best, he is either `Jack of all' or
`Master of few'. But he has to master the human relations aspect of administration in all detail. And when
the leader is good at this, his guidance is sought and accepted, and then he fulfills the role of a guide. The
leader is a negotiator within and outside the organization.
The leader shapes people and moulds character. To achieve this, the leader should maintain
equanimity. Equanimity is keeping oneself poised and balanced at all times. A leader is simply great, if he
can mould followers with this frame of mine. He does this by his own example.
V. Letter Writing: (1 x 10 = 10)
Write a letter to the Bank Manager requesting educational loan for Rs. 1,00,000/- by giving assurance
that the loan will be returned within 2 years after the study.

1. Endemic problems in the community areas
