What Kind of Leader Do You Want to Be?

Are you a leader, or poised to be one? As such, you can create fear and confusion or inspire and motivate. To achieve the latter, lead by example, creating a vision and setting a clear path for achieving it. The most effective leaders are excellent communicators, not afraid to do the work required to achieve success. Other key qualities of leadership include:

• Courage

• Integrity

• Humility

• Focus

• Cooperation

And you will earn the respect of those you lead with authenticity, aligning what you say with truth and reality. Leadership is not always innate, but can be cultivated with practice and dedication.
