Leadership is a good mix between art and science. One of the first steps you need to take to become a leader is to work on improving yourself. The good thing is that a lot of information is available to work on ourselves and be the leaders we want to be. These are the qualities a leader should have according to John Maxwell in his book the 21 Indispensable Qualities of A Leader.
1. Character
2. Charisma
3. Commitment
4. Communication
5. Competence
6. Courage
7. Discernment
8. Focus
9. Generosity
10. Initiative
11. Listening
12. Passion
13. Positive attitude
14. Problem solving
15. Relationships
16. Responsibility
17. Security
18. Self-discipline
19. Servanthood
20. Teachability
21. Vision
What do you think? Is there anything here you don’t find? Is there any other quality you think a leader should have? Would you change one of the 21 presented here for any other? In the famous “The Leadership Challenge” Kouzes and Posner also add HONESTY as one of the most important traits or qualities that a leader should have. What’s your call?
Always reflect on the things you learn, be mindful. Be Aware, Be Alert, Be A Leader
