- Good
communicator. That means effectively communicating timely and
consistent messages during good and bad times. And, knowing how and when
to be a good listener. Communicating is critical. Employees must hear from
their leaders. And, hearing from their leaders in person versus e-mail and
written memos is even more effective.
- Being
a servant leader. Put your employees and your company first. A top
manager who makes decisions that are self-serving will lack followers and
will bring the company down.
- Adaptable.
Today, more than ever, a leader needs to adapt. That means
adapting to competitive and industry situations. It also means being
willing to change your decisions if new information or circumstances
warrant the change.
- Decisive.
Leaders who aren’t decisive and who can’t make a decision will spin their
organization into a frozen state where employees are unmotivated, wasting
time, and discouraged.
- Motivating.
Smart, decisive, engaging, tough yet fair, personable and encouraging
leaders are motivating. These leaders motivate employees to deliver their
best for their leaders and for their company.
What is your list of five traits?
