G10 Glasgow Share Qualities That Make Leaders Memorable

GLASGOW, UK, February 2014 – Leaders that strive to be significant seek to create the greatest impact and influence. These are the types of leaders that we value the most; inspired by their courage and resiliency, we seek to emulate them. They are the most respected. Leaders that are self-aware are clear about their identity and expectations have the backs of others and can be trusted – they are the ones we instinctively gravitate towards.

Your leader impacts your career advancement and influences how you think, act and innovate more than you might imagine. As you manage your career, be on the lookout for the following eight qualities that make your leader extraordinarily memorable and positively enrich your experiences along the way.

Authenticity. The most authentic leaders are the most memorable.   These are the leaders that don’t play games or exercise power plays. They wear their intentions on their sleeves and make their expectations clear. Authentic leaders are consistent, embrace diversity and encourage their people to share their ideas and ideals.

Shares Their Wisdom. Memorable leaders are those who enjoy sharing their wisdom and secrets of success. These types of leaders are great teachers and are the best mentors. Their storytelling abilities alone make them memorable — but it’s the leadership lessons they share that you will come to appreciate later in your career because they carry the most weight and impact.

Does What Others Don’t. The most memorable leaders are truly unique and have an identity and presence about them that helps them stand out from the crowd.  They are the ones that support you in ways that others don’t. You know that your leader is unique when they consistently go out of their way to make you feel that you matter and/or attempt to leverage a skill or competency that other leaders neglected.

Embraces the Lessons of Failure. Leaders that allow you to learn from failure are those that are eager for you to grow and prosper. These types of leaders know that failure is not fatal, but rather a time to teach you how to overcome adversity and avoid the same occurrence from repeating itself.

Gives You Their Valuable Time. Time is a leader’s most precious asset.  Everyone wants more time with them than they have available.  The most memorable leaders give you the time that they don’t always have.  They recognize that you need attention and will find a way to make the time to listen..

Creates Special Moments. Without notice, they will create a special moment to inspire and inform the organization that they are aware of the circumstances at hand and will attempt to lighten the mood with spontaneous acts of kindness – and an action plan of support.

Makes You Feel Valued. The leaders that are most grateful for your hard work and efforts will be the most memorable. When you feel genuinely appreciated – that you are not taken for granted – these are the times you feel that the 60+ hour work weeks are worth it.

Leads to Leave a Legacy. Leaders that lead to leave a legacy are leading for the right reasons.  They know that success comes most to those who are surrounded by people that want their success to continue. Leaders that are in it for the betterment of a healthier whole are rarely forgotten.    People enjoy teamwork in collaborative, group-think environments.

Ultimately, it is the leader who strives to have an impact that is bigger than just themselves who will be the most memorable – and for all the right reasons. They will always leave an unforgettable impression and have long-lasting influence on you, your career, and the organization they serve.
