To be a successful leader we need to ensure some of these positive traits are nurtured.
- Be Open to Listen:Successful leaders not only give good answers but also listen by asking good questions. Questions asked must help the team improve their creativity and also help in problem solving
- Make Appreciation a Habit:Always show that you value your team and their contributions by giving credit where it is needed. Appreciating genuine work fosters team spirit
- Build your risk appetite:Enable the team to be innovative and bold to take calculated risks. Fear of failure must dissolve to allow for more creativity!

- Focus on Strengths:Identify strength of each team member and help them grow in their career
- Set SMART goals:Goals set for your team must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and with clear timelines.
