Effective Characters
of Leadership
EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION
1
Good communication and leadership is all about
connecting with others at various levels.
We become more effective in connecting by finding
common ground, making our communications simple,
capturing people's interest, inspiring them and being
authentic.
In order to become a more successful communicator,
we need to be present in the interaction.
TRUSTWORTHY 2
The people first want to be sure that the
individual is worthy of their trust.
Trustworthiness is strongly tied to values and
ethics.
As Kouzes and Posner say, leaders are "only as
good as [their] word in the eyes of those [they]
aspire to lead."
DECISIVE 3
A strong leader exercises good judgment, appreciates
informed input, and welcomes differing opinions.
Deliberate decision-making involves building an accurate,
full-spectrum map of all possible outcomes, predicting
where all these paths made lead and reaching a decision
by weighing various solutions.
The real differentiator is deciding with speed and
conviction.
INDEPENDENT
THINKER
4
Leaders must recognize and apply common sense
solutions.
Good thinkers solve problems and never lack for
ideas to build their team or their organization.
Many successful leaders block off time on their
calendar to think through challenges,
opportunities, and ideas.
POSITIVE 5
People expect their leader to be energized and
passionate about the future.
The positive leader has to control their reaction
and stress to remain positive in the midst of
difficult and stressful times.
Leaders have to uplift their members' spirits and
give them hope.
TEAM BUILDER 6
It is critical for a leader to invest in and empower
team members in order to reach full potential.
To rally a team around a common cause or vision.
Effective team building includes celebrating wins
together, or encouraging them when efforts fail.
APPRECIATIVE 7
One of the most valuable tools at a leader's disposal is
the use of two very powerful words - "thank you."
Your team members need to be noticed, recognized,
and appreciated for their efforts.
It is always worth the time for a short discussion, note,
or call to thank constituents in your group.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, being a leader requires a good character. Leadership
is nothing if it does not build a system-based management
structure, and management will not get support without leadership
work as the ideal backbone.
A good leader will be able to handle problems well as well as be able
to take care of the organization that is built.
Thank You!
