Five Characteristics of the Emerging Business Leader

Leadership qualities may be more naturally present in the personality of a leader, it is definitely something you can develop and strengthen over time. I found a great article that tackles the five characteristics of the emerging business leader. Here are some highlights.

The way we do business is changing, the way we work with others is changing, new ways of co-operation are called forth and this applies to all forms of business and to all sectors. We are called to be leaders in our own way with responsibility, presence, and appreciation for ourselves and others.

The Emerging Business Leader displays the following five characteristics:

1) Responds to Challenge

Only challenges help you get out of your comfort zone and excel. Staying in what is familiar and standard does not grow your business or you as a person, let alone your entrepreneurial profile. 

2) Inspires

Whether you are in corporate business, law enforcement, the healing arts or entertainment, your purpose is to inspire others, to offer them ways to improve their lives.

3) Educates

This trait will set you apart from the competition because people want to be treated with respect, acknowledged for what they know and given the tools to choose for themselves.

4) Enlightens

The way I describe this is that you want to bring forth through your service or product an added value. 

5) Encourages

Through your service or product, you want to encourage customers to take action in what it is they need, guiding them in the next step they are to make. It is also about listening to what their need is and not imposing yours.
