Leadership qualities are highly sought after; by a business owner and an employer. Leaders can make a profound difference in their industry, and can be fundamental in positive change. A recent study has revealed 10 common traits found in great leaders.<\/p>\n
Competitive spirit<\/strong>. Competition occurs naturally in all environments, and can be seen when two individuals complete for the same goal. In business, competition can stimulate a higher quality of service and product development.<\/p>\n Clutter avoidance<\/strong>. The depth of paperwork or piles on a desk is not necessarily the clutter, but rather the ability to focus on what is important and not become bogged down with the busywork.<\/p>\n Cohesiveness<\/strong>. When a group of individuals possesses bonds linking them to one another and also to the group as a whole, this is considered a state of cohesion. Leaders can excel when they are able to sell ideas to the partners. More importantly, a leader can identify which individual needs convincing and how to approach them.<\/p>\n Candidness<\/strong>. The ability to deliver a brutally honest need for improvement while showing great respect and encouragement. One of the rarest of skills. One approach could be to reverse roles in a conversation, and encourage the poor performer to recognize the issue on their own.<\/p>\n Crystal-clear vision<\/strong>. It is not easy to decide where you want to be, and even more difficult to finalize how you are going to get there. Great leaders have a perfect understanding of what they want, what they know the business will become, and they wholly immerse themselves making that vision a reality.<\/p>\n
