John F. Kennedy once said, “To those whom much is given, much is expected. ” And we certainly expect a lot from our leaders.
Communication. The ability to clearly describe what you want done. Remember, it is only good communication when the message sent is the same as message received.
Honesty. Make honesty and ethics a key value so your team will trust you and be honest back.
Training. Remember, training is not a cost. It is an investment!
Delegation. Trusting your team and giving them freedom to complete tasks is a sign of strength, and it takes time to do it right.
Staying calm. Staying calm when things are hot will keep everyone focused and moving ahead. People fear and avoid people who get upset easily.
Commitment. If you expect your team to work hard, you have to lead by example.
Positive attitude. This keeps your team motivated to succeed.
Creativity. Thinking and visioning outside the box and sometimes choosing the best of the worst choices.
Decision making. Some tough decisions will be up to you, and you may need to depend on gut instinct for answers.
These are a few of the needed leadership qualities. Can they be learned? Absolutely … with time and effort and training!
