A leader. In my Opinion…
- Does not look for the Accreditation from others. Always behaves and functions as a leader regardless of the Position, Title or Power
- Very deeply cares about the Vision and its Purpose. Influences and mobilizes people's thinking and action towards achieving that goal
- Has complete mastery over his/her Ego and Emotion. They can transition from 0 to 100 in their Ego seamlessly, depending on what the situation demands
- Communicates complex ideas in a way that the followers can easily understand, Emotionally connect to and Passionately "Act on"
- Can even be a Paranoid. Courage to them is Not the absence of Fear. But the judgement that something else is more important than Fear
- Thinks differently and gets to the depth and breadth of issues very quickly. Never afraid of asking the fundamental questions that changes the Status Quo
- Is always Curious and it is a natural trait for them. They believe in lifelong learning and value Time as a precious resource
- Is usually very comfortable in their Authentic self. Imitation is not their cup of Tea. They realize it is too much effort to manage a Fake Identity
- Spreads Positivity. Every problem presents a great opportunity to bring out their best. They always focus on what it takes to resolve it
- Moves from one failure to other, with no loss of Enthusiasm. Success is just a by product in that process
- Should have great People Acumen. When they are around people are at their best. They make ordinary people extraordinary
- Appreciates and encourages Diversity and Conflicts and can always use it for the common good and advantage
- Unyielding about the end goal but flexible with the means of achieving the same. To them "Why" is more important than "How"
PMP?, CSM?
5 年Dear Kiru - Thanks foe sharing. Concise and well written. To me, the best trait a Leader must possess is to be able to create more Leaders with the team at his or her disposal. Best Leaders are Non-Political, Unbiased and truly work for the team than themselves :)
