“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”
– Peter Drucker,
Legendary Management Consultant, Educator and Author
To be a true leader, one must have a clear vision and this vision must be communicated and reinforced to the team. Personnel development and training is key to building a dependable team and maintaining client satisfaction during periods of distress or high growth.
Being able to delegate daily responsibilities to others is critical for those in leadership to have time for “blue skies” thinking and to update and hone a clear vision. Also, empowered employees will enable the organization to truly realize and benefit an exponential ‘sum of all parts.’
The traits that I value most in a leader and try to emulate include honesty, transparency, productivity, fairness, decisiveness and a clear vision. Forbes has a pertinent article online that identifies the following Top 10 Qualities that Make a Great Leader and why each is important:
- Honesty
- Ability to Delegate
- Communication
- Sense of Humor
- Confidence
- Commitment
- Positive Attitude
- Creativity
- Intuition
- Ability to Inspire
