I’m not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep, I’m afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. - Alexander the Great.
Favored leaders are good communicators, charismatic, enthusiastic, humble, humane and possess a good sense of humor. Besides knowledge and competence, there are certain qualities which in my opinion differentiate truly exceptional leaders. So what do these leaders do -
- Create more leaders
- Bring out the best from their teams
- Mentor and motivate
- Appreciate
- Empower
- Instill ethics & values
- Embrace lessons learnt from failure
- Celebrate every success no matter how small
Have you experienced a leader who had such qualities? In the comments section, let’s pay them a tribute with their quality that stood out.
