Leadership Traits


Leadership Traits

  • What is leadership?
  • Is there a particular set of rules that define leadership?
  • How important is leadership to you?
  • Do you see yourself as a leader?
  • What according to you are the most basic traits of a leader?

These are a few of the questions every manager ponders over in his mind. The art of being a leader comes from within but what are the traits of a good leader?

  • A leader never waits for others to get his work done.
  • A leader strives to work so that it inspires his team in achieving the desired goals.
  • A leader leads by example
  • A leader is respected and admired
  • A leader is always pushing the boundaries of impossibility

Leadership is not a fancy term which you can conjure freely anytime at your discretion. Leadership has nothing to do with who you are. On the contrary, it is more inclined towards what you do.

A leader stands out from the crowd. Everything about him has uniqueness including the way he does his work, the way he speaks, and most importantly the way he takes control of things under crisis. A true leader is honest, compassionate, authentic and congruent in his actions.

Are you ready to be a leader?

  2. I read a great article saying that the key to leadership is balance. Like everything in life, too much of one thing can't be good. You have to find the opposite of your strengths and develop those qualities.
