Qualities of a leader
1. Integrity: This is a deal breaker if you don’t have it completely. When it comes to governance. Never do anything or asked anyone to do anything you couldn’t go home and explain to your children.
2. A deep understanding of the business: You can’t fake it. People will know. While you don’t need to know every detail, you do have to have a good grasp of the business.
3. Decisiveness: While you should listen to others’ opinions, the final decision is yours to make. When a leader fails its very often because they were not decisive. People lose confidence in leaders whose indecision results in failure.
4. The ability to listen: Good leaders must be willing to handle opinions contrary to their own and absorb as much as they can.
5. Willingness to admit a mistake: Everyone makes mistakes. If you’re not making any, you’re not doing your learning. The important thing is admitting your missteps — otherwise people will not respect you.
6. Consistency: While keeping things fresh is important, leaders cannot change direction frequently. They will lose people’s confidence.
