What Qualties Make Up a Great Leader?




I think there are many different views on what makes a great leader
but I do believe there are some core qualities. Some of those are:





  • Attentiveness vs. Distraction
Showing the worth of a person or task by giving
my undivided concentration
Not just waiting for our turn to talk!
  • Boldness vs. Fearfulness
Confidence that what I have to say or do is true,
right, and just
No more memos to the entire team just to address one persons failure!
  • Compassion vs. Indifference
Investing whatever is necessary to heal the hurts
of others
It's not about taking care of number one, YOU!
  • Decisiveness vs. Procrastination
The ability to recognize key factors and finalize
difficult decisions
When you come to a fork in the road, take it! Yogi Berra
  • Enthusiasm vs. Apathy
Expressing joy in each task as I give it my
best effort
Stop with the soar faces, please!
  • Patience vs. Restlessness
Accepting a difficult situation without giving a
deadline to remove it
Stop stressing out people!

  • Truthfulness vs. Deception
Earning future trust by accurately reporting
past facts
A lie can take a life-time to repair!

Please comment and add your thoughts!
