Module 19 - Attributes of a Successful Leader - Generosity

Hey everyone,

Why is generosity an important attribute of a successful leader?

I believe that being generous is an essential part of any successful leader. We as leaders are passionate to help other people to develop themselves personally and professionally, and it should not be limited to just knowledge sharing, the big part of helping others is by giving back, sharing your success with others who may be less fortunate. That is why you see wealthy people donating money to various charities and organizations who need assistance.

Unfortunately, having strong desire to become successful is not all that's required, you also often need financial assistance and support from others in order to continue on your journey towards becoming a successful leader.

Generosity and unconditional support are necessary elements, especially for someone who is just starting in their journey towards a life of their dreams. Every one of us has different goals and dreams that we want to reach in order to fulfill our desires, wants and needs, and live the life that we have created in our minds very early in our lives.

Regardless of your goals and aspirations at some point in your life you will require support and assistance from others, whether it's your family, people you work with, or friends. Therefore, it is important to remember to support and help others in the time of need, so that when you are the one who needs help in the future you can count on someone helping you when you need it the most.

It is important to remember that it is not the amount of your generosity that matters, but the thought and willingness to help based on your unique and realistic situation. A lot of times it's not how much money you can give or donate, but the knowledge and advice that you can share with the person in need. You never know when simple suggestion or advice can help another person to overcome the obstacle that they were dealing with and achieve great success. Taking some time out of your busy schedule  in order to help the person or people in need by simply sharing your knowledge and expertise, can transform someone's life for better.

Therefore, be a generous leader and help others in need where you can share your monetary success or your extremely valuable knowledge. Live by the golden rule every day, and you will notice that people will do the same for your when you need it the most.
