What are your Leadership Strengths?
What do you think are the key strengths of a successful leader?
Recent research by the Centre for Creative Leadership^ suggests these:
- Integrity
- Ability to delegate
- Communication
- Self-awareness
- Gratitude
- Learning agility
- Influence
- Empathy
- Courage
- Respect
While I totally agree these strengths are important, if this year has taught us anything, we need to be more prepared for major disruption. And for disruption we need to push the dynamic/agile/adaptive envelope and challenge leaders to really up their game!
Let's work towards these strengths for leaders in 2021 and beyond:
- Resilience
- Drive
- Curiosity
- Humility
- Compassion
- Determination
- Transparency
- Creativity
- Vulnerability
- Self-confidence
Oh, and if I were to sneak a final one onto the list it would be: TRUST. Trust in yourself and trust in others!
