Successful leaders are simple people who have big dreams, whose dreams eventually come true through commitment and perseverance. Often times, when they speak of their dreams, people call them crazy, completely disregard them or laugh at their naivety. However, when these dreams become a reality, suddenly these simple people start to get followers and their followers crown them with the title of- LEADER. How do these successful individuals attract followers?

Here are the 3 secret triggers to successful leadership:

1- Confidence- Let me tell you a little fable: there was once a terrible drought in a small  remote village, and everyone decided to gather around at an appointed place on an selected day to pray for rain. When everyone was gathered, they were surprised to see one simple little boy carrying an umbrella, when asked why he brought an umbrella, he replied, ‘because I believe that when I pray, it will rain’. It rained cats and dogs that day, and everybody else except that little boy, got completely soaked.  This is secret number one, confidence, better known as faith. 

2- Trust- Successful leaders completely surrender their vision to the “Invisible” hand, and know without a shadow of doubt that somehow they will be led to their destination. They act like a six month year old baby, who, when thrown in the air, laughs and giggles with the confidence that somehow, someone is going to catch them.That is the second secret- Trust. 

3- Hope- Successful leaders have strong conviction, that their dreams will come true, no matter what. Every night when we go to bed, we have no assurance that we will be alive the next morning, but still we have plans for the up- coming day. That’s Hope-secret number three.

So, if you want to inspire and influence others to follow you, have confidence in whatever you do, trust that it will be done and never lose hope. You too will be called a Leader.
