There are many attributes that can contribute to exemplifying great leadership, but here are my top five -?
- Visionary: Great leaders have a clear and compelling vision for their organization. They have a strong sense of purpose and direction, and can communicate this vision to others in a way that inspires and motivates them to work towards achieving it.
- Decisiveness: Great leaders are able to make tough decisions quickly and confidently, even in the face of uncertainty or ambiguity. They weigh the pros and cons of different options, and are not afraid to take calculated risks in pursuit of their goals.
- Empathy: Great leaders understand and empathize with the needs and concerns of their team members. They take the time to listen to their employees and understand their perspectives, and make an effort to create a supportive and inclusive work environment.
- Adaptability: Great leaders are able to adapt to changing circumstances and respond effectively to unexpected challenges. They are open to new ideas and approaches, they are always learning, and are not afraid to pivot their strategy when necessary.
- Integrity: Great leaders operate with honesty and transparency, and lead by example. They hold themselves and their team members accountable to high ethical standards, and act with integrity in all their dealings, both within and outside the organization.
I have been very fortunate and blessed to be mentored, coached, inspired by, and surrounded by so many great leaders.???
