CAM Partners Look at Behaviors Leaders Need To Succeed

Dallas, TX, May 2015 – What competencies do leaders need to acquire?  You need to look at the behaviors that separate successful leaders from those who don’t achieve the same high standards. Here are six factors that differentiate them:

1. Strategic Perspective.  These leaders have a much clearer view of the future of the company. Their deep industry and culture knowledge enables them to be much better at anticipating market and economic trends.  They take a longer-term view of the business and the market, as well as taking the broad strategy and translating it into meaningful goals and objectives in their organizations.

2. Customer Focus and Understanding. The best leaders understand their customers’ needs, concerns, and problems. They often view themselves as partners in assisting their customers to accomplish their goals and objectives. Customers trust these individuals and therefore trust the business.

3. Ability to Spot Trends and Connect the Dots. Colleagues describe them as being able to “see around the corner.” Looking at the same data that others have available, the best leaders are able to identify issues that others pass by or ignore.

4. Engaged and Committed Teams. The best leaders know how to build a highly engaged and committed team. They create an esprit de corps within their team that leverages the skills and commitment of others to accomplish stretch goals and objectives. Their teams are the most desirable place to work in the company.

5. Willingness to Take Risks. The best leaders are willing to take risks and to capitalize on unrealized potential. They also recognize others in their organization for taking appropriate risks.

6.  Deep Knowledge and Expertise. International business today is complex both because of technology and the difficulties of doing business around the world. Great leaders are viewed as some of the most knowledgeable and experienced in their industry. They understand all aspects of the businesses that they run.

Conclusion

Is your company expanding its presence? Look over these behaviors that define the most effective leaders and see if there are any you can improve on. It is true that the acquisition of cultural awareness and language capability makes a global leader’s challenges greater, but there are specific competencies that enable leaders to find success across all borders.
