THE COMMON TRAITS OF GREAT LEADERS

THE COMMON TRAITS OF GREAT LEADERS

I recently completed a graduate course in leadership. We learned a great deal about the pervasive school of thought, that all it takes to be a leader is to hold a dominant C-Suite position in a group, organization, or company. The first three  foremost attributes that come to mind are:

·         Transparency

·         Empathy

·         Open mindedness

Because history bears out such traits and attributes that happen to be the cornerstones and core values, which serves to drive optimal business success. Such qualities have not only driven business success but have had an impact on brand development both in domestic and global markets. In addition, individual extraordinary leadership abilities have been continuous methods of inspiration for collective corporate team leadership.

A research study was done on a few C-Suites management and leadership teams to ascertain collective and useful data for the top quality of great leaders, such as:

RESILIENCE

A real leader speaks to anxiety and to fear and allays those fears, as they assuage anxiety. There are many changes happening in the workplace nowadays, and when change occurs, individuals who possess resilience generally also exhibit and portray agility and resourcefulness

TRANSPARENCY

To be an effective leader one has to be an excellent communicator. And to be focused and fastened on the intent at every chance they get to dissuade gossip. Great leaders usually have the uncanny ability to not let rumors spread by having the keen insights to dispel such situations through being transparent and hold the embodiment to embrace solutions and remedies, not problems. In the midst of disagreement of a rift among coworkers, rather than nurture the gossip, a great leader makes sure you get over it and summarily fix the issue at hand

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

There exists two parts of leadership. Once you’ve got to be a good leaders, secondly, one must have the utmost concern for the people that you lead. Must possess the desire to emulate and care about others. Good responsible leaders improve their Emotional intelligence by making concerted efforts to understand the reasoning behind an employee’s behavior. It might tend to center on a lack of ‘trust’, a bad past experience, or the fear behind a bad decision. By grasping and embracing such understanding makes it easier to react with dignity to any and all types of situations.

PASSION

Passion and intensity is a key component of a leader. The C-Suite management leadership is the cultural icon of the company for passion to work, passion for the product, passion for company goals, passion for success, and the inevitable twists and turns, is the key to widespread engagement. The opposite is even more important-the lack of passion leads to ‘tragic disengagement’

EMPATHY

Empathy not only allows great leaders y to understand their employees and their customers alike, but it is known to enhance pro-social behaviors. All due to the fact that empathy enables leaders to address issues more expeditiously and precise, as it makes things more flexible to respond to in an ever changing work environment  

OPEN-MINDED

“Leaders” cannot and must not work in a vacuum. They may take on larger, and more important roles in an organization or a company. However, this must not exclude them from asking for and using positive feedback. Leaders must take and have great care not to be closed off to ideas of good challenges, input, and feedback. This shall serve to help establish the norms of what is set apart to an open-minded leader. It shall bode well for the leaders to be inquisitive to learn more about identity opportunities, threats, and challenges to their business and key staff and employees
