SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 94

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Leadership does not exist without followership. A leader has to be accepted by the group which the former is supposed to lead. To gain acceptability, the leader should cause an emotive impact on the group members. The strength of character exhibited by leaders makes them dear to their followers. A leader is one who effectively inspires followers to achieve worthwhile things. What character of the leader motivates the followers? It is not pomp and show, neither flattery nor sanctioning more incentives. Pomp and show creates a sense of awe and the leader is deified rather as emulated. Flattery is unrealistic and cannot serve as a long-term motivational tool. A leader’s style should be one that can be emulated by all irrespective of cadre, class and calibre. Simplicity in one’s day- to- day conduct is the only thing that can be adopted by all.
