There are essentially five characteristics of great leaders: 1. Being flexible. Not everything goes as planned and leaders have to be able to change course. 2. Being able to communicate. There are lots of people who talk a great game but deliver nothing. Leaders who communicate well are those who not only share their thoughts, but also let their strength and personal character show through in their communication, and empower people by defining a goal and showing how to get there. 3. Third is a group of characteristics -- having courage, tenacity, and patience. Having the courage to stand alone, the tenacity to not succumb to pressure, and the patience to keep fighting until you win the day--and sometimes being able to do all three at the same time--is something you will have to develop if you want to be a true and successful leader. 4. The combination of humility and presence. Leaders have to be able to talk and listen to everybody. At the same time, they must be respected, the kind of respect that’s earned by being honest, having integrity, and being tough but fair. 5. The final characteristic of a successful leader is being responsible. This means when there is blame to be accepted, the leader must be the first one to accept it. But it also means that when accolades are appropriate, they should be spread out. And when this happens, a leader is born. Leadership may mean different things to different people, in business being a leader means articulating a vision to a team, convincing them of its importance, and encouraging and motivating them to work together to achieve it. And while doing so may come more naturally to some than to others, it’s never easy. If you want to help steer where you work toward success, it has to start with leadership, and leadership has to start with you.
