Becoming A Leader

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

The success of a business is often dependent on its leaders. You might have heard that “excellent leaders are made not born”. What are the qualities of that leader?

  • Gets the job done by combining past experiences, proven strategies and continuous improvement on “hard” and “soft” skills.
  • Assesses a situation quickly using logic and intuition
  • Has a vision (includes values, the company’s mission/purpose/goals)
  • Excellent Understanding
  • Courage
  • Risk-taker
  • Patient
  • Has excellent crisis management skills
  • Integrity (do what they say they would do, face reality, admit their lesser strengths, are reliable and consistent). 

How many of these areas describe you? Are there some you want to work on? Which ones are you ready to take on? You can become a great leader.
