A good leader by exercising his leadership motivates the employees for high performance. Good leadership in the organisation itself is a motivating factor for the individuals.

2. Creating Confidence: A good leader may create confidence in his followers by directing them, giving them advice and getting through them good results in the organisation. Sometimes, individuals fail to recognise their qualities and capabilities to work in the absence of good direction.

3. Building Morale: Morale is expressed as attitudes of employees towards organisation management and voluntary co-operation to offer their ability to the organisation. High morale leads to high productivity.

4. Initiates Action: Leader is a person who starts the work by communicating the policies and plans to the subordinates from where the work actually starts.
