5 Foundational Pillars of Great Leadership

Hi all. Found an excellent article that I am sure many will relate to. Hope you get something useful out of this...

Throughout history, there’s always been a clear divide between those who lead and those who follow — especially when it comes to business. Are these movers and shakers born with leadership and success in their genes? And, if so, what is it that makes them so irresistible in the business world, causing people to stop, look, and listen?

As cliched as it is to say, hard work and dedication go a long way towards becoming a successful business leader. But in order to narrow down the scope into something actionable, we’ve distilled five key attributes seen time and time again in today’s successful entrepreneurs and business leaders — separating the best from the rest.

Leaders Are Open to Change

Business isn’t a static environment, and having an ego about your ideas or methods of working can be a dangerous attribute. The most successful individuals in the world of business truly value the input of those around them — whether it’s a fellow board member or a personal assistant, everyone’s opinion carries its own value. Growing a business requires constant learning and adaptation, and if you’re falling short of your personal goals, start by questioning your own actions before pointing fingers at others.

Leaders Are Goal-Oriented

Goal setting may seem like a paperwork exercise for many; but without setting the goal posts, you’re leaving yourself without a target to shoot for. You risk not only your business plan drifting off on a tangent, but also losing the ability to measure success — and therefore never be able to claim true progression.
