Six qualities of a great leader

Six qualities of a great leader

May 18, 2018 By Colleen Morris Leave a Comment

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes. You might be the head of a corporation, a department head, or a team leader at work. Then again, you may be a parent, the coordinator of burgeoning start up company, or part of a small, committed team.

We all carry some form of leadership in our day-to-day life, even if it is just the influence we have on the people around us. This is why self-improvement is necessary for everyone.

Leadership requires a special set of characteristics, that melds charisma and integrity with passion, vision casting and delegation skills. And as we all know, just because someone is given a title, doesn’t mean they are an effective leader.

This infographic by Eliv8 Group highlights six qualities every leader should carry. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, so don’t be discouraged if you excel in one area but are lacking in another.  As it points out in number 3, self-awareness is integral to great leadership, and honestly assessing your own abilities will show you what you can improve to become an even better leader.

Do you want to inspire, motivate and lead the people around you to success? Start working on the six characteristics below and you won’t just be called a leader, you’ll embody one.
