7 LEADERSHIP QUALITIES, ATTRIBUTES & CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD LEADERS

A successful business is not only composed of business strategies but also exceptional leadership. Here is an article that discusses the 7 leadership qualities, attributes and characteristics of good leaders. I’ve highlighted a few key points.

Many leadership qualities have been observed throughout history. Some were adopted by bad leaders while others were exhibited by good leaders. Fortunately, you can put history on your side and use the learnings from others to develop admirable leadership strengths. The good news is that each of these leadership attributes, characteristics, and traits can be learned through practice and repetition.

1. Vision

Great leaders have a vision. They can see into the future. They have a clear, exciting idea of where they are going and what they are trying to accomplish and are excellent at strategic planning.

2. Courage

Having the quality of courage means that you are willing to take risks in the achievement of your goals with no assurance of success. 

3. Integrity

Integrity requires that you always tell the truth, to all people, in every situation. Truthfulness is the foundation quality of the trust that is necessary for the success of any business.

4. Humility

Great leaders are those who are strong and decisive but also humble. It means that you are willing to admit you could be wrong, that you recognize you may not have all the answers. And it means that you give credit where credit is due which many people struggle to do.

5. Strategic Planning

Leaders have the ability to anticipate trends, well in advance of their competitors. They have the ability to look ahead, to anticipate with some accuracy where the industry and the markets are going.

6. Focus

Your ability as a leader to call the shots and make sure that everyone is focused and concentrated on the most valuable use of their time is essential to the excellent performance of the enterprise.

7. Cooperation

Gain the cooperation of others by making a commitment to get along well with each key person every single day. You always have a choice when it comes to a task. You can do it yourself, or you can get someone else to do it for you.
