    The main aim and objective of being a leader are to manage other individuals within a certain group towards realizing visions that have been set. A leader, therefore, has the responsibility of seeing to it that all the desired goals of the group are adequately met. Effectively and efficiently managing the attitudes of others within a particular association is something that should not be taken on face value. This is due to the fact that to be able to manage others in an efficient way, an individual first needs to be in harmony with a lot of things. It is only when those things are in place that a person can think of managing others.
    To be able to efficiently and effectively manage others, the following should be in place.

    Learn to manage yourself first: This is the basic rule and requirement for each and every individual who has aspirations of becoming a leader. Charity will always begin at home and as such if you cannot take proper care of your own personal life, how then can you be expected to lead a group of people with diverse individual differences. The best way to describe such a situation is that it can never ever be possible. As a leader, you must first display certain personal qualities that will prove to others that you can really manage your own personal affairs appropriately and effectively. Leadership has always been about getting others to believe in what you are doing and therefore making them join forces with you freely. It is, therefore, necessary to ensure that you have earned the trust of each and everyone who follows you as that will be the only way that you can be regarded as their leader. How good you are at doing something personally is what will make others trust you and so as a leader you need to be able to put your house in order before stepping out to lead others to put theirs in order.

    Get to know of the ways involved with human management: It has already been said that in order for an individual to be regarded as a leader there has to first be a group of people who have total trust in that particular person. It is therefore very important to make sure that you know the two main types of how people live their lives. These two major orientations are either out of love and trust or out of the fact that they are afraid and scared. These are further explained below.

    The orientation to life as a result of being scared or doubtful of something: With this type of orientation, people are mainly concerned with ensuring that they survive and are not bothered about the heights that they are capable of reaching. Such people do not even take it upon themselves to try something different other than what they already know. They are always afraid of venturing into new territories and do not even have a little ounce of faith in their abilities. This is what other psychologists refer to as self-preservation as such people have been made to feel scared to the extent that they no longer wish to do something new. With this group of people, it is very difficult to achieve anything other than what they already have as they are not willing to take the needed bold steps into unchartered waters. Matters are even worsened when the supposed leader also has this type of orientation to life as he or she won’t be able to take bold decisions for others to follow him or her.

    The orientation to life as a result of love and trust: This is also another orientation to the things that happen in the lives of people. This involves the cultivation of love and trust in each and every individual within the group. When people feel that they are loved and trusted by a leader, they also make sure that they replicate his or her love and trust by trusting in the decisions that he or she takes and also fully committing themselves to achieve all the objectives that have been outlined.
    Leadership is always about trust as people will have to trust a person first in order to give him or her a chance to lead them. For an association with a leader to thrive and make positive impacts in the lives of people there should always be that element of trust.

    These things are very essential if you are to make a positive mark with your desire to manage others.
