What is your thought about the qualification of an effective leader?

An effective Leader must have not only the ability of finessing his brand vision for creating an organized and efficient business, but also learn to trust his team with that vision.A leader also develops a vision of the organization's future.
It is important to communicate this vision to members of the group, allowing them to respond and become part of the visioning process.An effective leader must take the time to recognize and reward people for what they've done.
Individuals may become tired, bored or frustrated with a particular task or goal.
They are often tempted to give up.
A leader must provide the encouragement to motivate members to carry on.

There is no such a specialized qualification required to become a leader. Being a leader you must have good behaviour and way to convery clear message without any ambiguity.

Dear Jerone,   Qualification of a leader:    Studies, and develops ideas and principles     Innovates     Resourceful and looks for solutions to problems     Empathetic with a focus on people     Inspires trust among stakeholders     Understands the big picture     Superior listening skills     Courageously challenges the state of affairs, and asks why and what can be improved     Looks for opportunities to develop strengths     Develops a following “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” -John F.
Kennedy   Here are some tips to help you make the necessary improvements: 1.
Managers give answers, leaders ask questions.
  There’s nothing certain to turn your employees against you faster than shouting orders at them.
Why not spare yourself the impending resentment and simply ask your employees this: “What would you do?” or “What do you think of this idea?” Allowing people to participate in the decision-making process will not only transform what could have been an order into something more easily swallowed--it also inspires creativity, motivation, and autonomy.
2.
Managers criticize mistakes, leaders call attention to mistakes indirectly.
  It may seem more efficient to point out your employees’ mistakes directly, but this will only leave them feeling embarrassed and frustrated.
You should really be giving them the chance to learn and grow from through your critiques.
Instead, give your employees the chance to address their mistakes.For example, say a project was sent to a client and you receive back a disgruntled message.
Calmly ask your employee about the clients concern and whether they feel what was provided was on par.
This will give them a chance to provide their input, while also improving for the future.
3.
Managers forget to praise, leaders reward even the smallest improvement.
  Praise pays off when it comes to increasing the overall success of your company.
Finding time to recognize your employees for even the smallest accomplishment will only increase their interest in what they do.
If you’re interested in ensuring your employees take pride in all that they do, regular feedback and recognition is certain to do the trick.
Everyone wants to be genuinely appreciated for their efforts.
4.
Managers focus on the bad, leaders emphasize the good.
  This really comes down to seeing the cup half empty or half full.
If you’re only willing to point out the flaws of a project or an employee, you’re not giving them much interest in learning or improving.
Instead, create a sandwich effect.
Start with some form of praise, follow with the criticism, and end with praise.
5.
Managers want credit, leaders credit their teams.
  Managers who lack leadership abilities are always first to take credit.
But effective leaders understand the importance of crediting their teams for the big wins.
This pays off in the long run for creative a workplace with a more positive company culture and employees who are driven toward more successes as a team.Management shouldn’t be approach through force, but rather through influence.
Put these techniques in place to improve the way your employees perform.

Leader is not who only leads the sub ordinate but also he is the mirror of the organisation.
His gestures, postures everything noticed by their seniors as well as juniors and now about the qualification - it is the blue print for a successful leader because he has to execute his knowledge.
Today every company hiring the qualified employees if the leader do not have the every quality then he is only an employee not more than that...

Leader is never made by education, Its wisdom who makes a leader! :)

Leader is a very big thing to describe, however the foremost quality a leader should have is * Good Listening ability.
Leaders is one who listens & guides.
If at all he doesn't listen & just orders he surely can be a Boss but not a Leader.
