The employees have spoken, here are the most valued leadership traits

Employees define Good Leadership

Swedish pollster Kantar Sifo surveyed employees on which qualities they value most in a leader, and what they consider good leadership.

A list of the ten best managerial qualities was published in the trade pub "HR-Nytt". How do you think these differ between countries and business cultures? Would leaders in the US be more effective following this advice?

Good leaders:

  1. Show trust and delegates
  2. Are straight talkers, clear message
  3. Are not afraid of making decisions
  4. Are good communicators
  5. Reward good work
  6. Are responsive
  7. Handle conflicts
  8. Provide coaching
  9. Show empathy
  10. Give continuous feedback

It seems communication is critical to good leadership, as it figures in at least half of the items above... Looking forward to your comments!

Per Ohstrom in my experience, I have had great CEO leaders such as Bill Marriott and Arne Sorenson. What they understand innately and intellectually was the power of having a vision, and constantly communicating & inspiring around that vision. That, coupled with taking care of their people (so that they take care of the customer), and making & owning the toughest decisions, made us all willing to do whatever it took to achieve that vision. This is the power and potential of true leadership to me. #leadership #peoplemakethedifference #vision

Love this list, Per Ohstrom I might rank decision-making ability number one because I have seen so many leaders unable to make the very important decision to NOT do something. But communication is always paramount. If I were making this list, I would add demonstrating respect for people at all levels.

Excellent list and couldn't agree more that this applies in the US. A pithy quote I carry with me from my Jack Welch leadership training is "when you become a leader, it's no longer about you, it's about them". I think that about sums it up for those we are responsible for.
