Cultivating the Real-World Superpowers
The closest equivalents we humans come to superpowers in our real world are the highly successful corporate leaders, billionaires, politicians, and similar figures.
Let’s explore further the essential superpowers that can be inherited and practiced to segue into a super leader.
Section 1: Flexibility
As discussed previously, flexibility adds to the list. Being agile and adaptable to situations is an essential aspect of leadership. Few things ever go as planned, and flexibility and adaptability determine success in fluid work environments.
It is crucial to be able to tweak the approach based on the challenges and the team’s abilities. Revising plans and changing ideas to overcome shifting scenarios, helping people at the workplace cope with changes, and dealing with a lack of consensus are the weapon skill sets that modern-day leaders need to master to be effective.
Section 2: Innovation
Furthermore, innovation is yet another sought-after trait. Thanks to innovative thinkers and leaders, the world is where it is today, at least in technological advancement and development. Not everyone is born with the gift of creative thinking. Revolutionaries who have been smart enough to encourage and push innovation have changed our world today.
Section 3: Vision
Effortless communication is a real superpower, and the superpower that comes next is vision. Having a vision for an organization and conveying these ideas to a large group of people in sync, with sincerity, and without worrying anyone, is one of a leader's greatest powers.
Visionary leaders have a clear goal in mind and can mobilize people to follow them in pursuing this endeavor. Taking the example of Steve Jobs or Mahatma Gandhi, they had a vision and drive that impacted many people who trusted and followed them. It’s worth noting that the sincerity of a leader’s vision cannot be faked for too long. The pretenders will eventually get found out.
Conclusion
To summarize, the list of superpowers goes beyond the above traits. Next are a few equally essential superpowers that contribute to crafting a super leader.
