'Principles of Leadership" by Mr. Rudolph W.Giuliani (former Mayor of New York City)

1. The first principle of Leadership:
Believe in yourself...First of all be true to yourself...Unless you know what you stand for, you will never become a good leader.

2. The second principle of Leadership:
Have a vision...Great people in the history had all great visions and they believed where they want to be or the things that they want to do....Cases in point are Ronald Reagan...who thought communism was bad and he was the sole force responsible for the down fall of USSR...and Martin Luther King Jr...who had a dream that all American people in future shall not be judged by their colour of skin but the content of their character...
So one has to have a vision as to where he/she wants to take himself ahead in future...to be a successful leader.

3. The third one: Courage ...Ability to take Risk:
You got to be bold enough to take risk and have the courage to take it too.

4. The fourth one: Relentless preparation:
Always be prepared for any anticipated scenario in order that nothing unanticipated happens. But even at times on the occurrence of the unanticipated event you may take a modified route out of your multiple preparation for similar events to overcome such events and take the control of situation.

5. And the fifth one....Team Work:
The essence of leadership is to have very good team work. One has to assess the areas of ones weakness and see how best he or she can balance the weaknesses with the strength of his/her team members. A good leader has to be both a teacher as well as a motivator too.

6. Finally the last one... Communicate with others...
Finally a good leader must necessarily be a good communicator. One has to be able to communicate his/her ideals properly to his team members in his/her effort to achieve the goals.
