1.WHAT MAKES A POLITICAL LEADER AN EFFECTIVE LEADER?

1.Good communicator

Until you communicate your vision clearly to your team and tell them the strategy to accomplish the
goal, you’ll find it very difficult to get the results you want. To put it simply, if you can’t effectively
communicate your message to your team, you can never be a good leader. Words can get people
motivated and make them do the unimaginable. If you are making effective use of them, you can also
achieve better results.

2.Honesty and Integrity

Honesty and Integrity are two main elements that make for a strong leader. How do you demand
integrity from your supporters if you neglect such qualities? Leaders excel because they hold to their
basic principles and convictions, and that won’t be possible without ethics.

3.Decision maker

A leader should be capable of making the right decision at the right time. Leaders take actions that have
a huge effect on people. A leader should think long and hard before taking a decision but stand by it
once the decision is made.

4.Must be able to inspire others

Perhaps the toughest thing a leader to do is convince people to follow them. This will only be done by
providing a clear example and encouraging your followers. We look up to them when the going gets
tough and see how they. As a leader, you should think optimistically, and your positive attitude should
be evident from your actions. A leader should keep cool under strain and retain a degree of
encouragement. If you excel in inspiring your colleagues, you will comfortably resolve every obstacle
now and in the future.

5.Must delegate tasks effectively

Focusing on core duties is vital for effective leadership while leaving the rest to others. By this, I mean
empowering and delegating tasks to your followers. When you try to micromanage your employees, lack
of trust can grow, and, most significantly, you won’t be willing to work on critical things as you should.
Different duties should be delegated among the subordinates and see how they perform. Provide them
with all the tools and help they need to attain the target and allow them to bear responsibilities.

2. WHEN CAN YOU SAY THAT GOVERNANCE IS GOOD?

Good governance means that processes and institutions produce results that meet the needs of society
while making the best use of resources at their disposal. The concept of efficiency in the context of good
governance also covers the sustainable use of natural resources and the protection of the environment
