Be Excellent, one of my favourite blogs, describes the “11 Qualities of Leaders” from the book Learning to Lead: A Workbook on Becoming a Leader. The leadership qualities are:
- Know themselves through reflection and self-observation (*pg. 20)
- Understand both their history and present environment (*pg. 32)
- Are clear about their values and goals (* pg. 68, 92)
- Are aware of and can apply their learning style to solving problems (* pg. 198)
- Are willing to be lifelong learners (*pg. 22)
- Can take risks and are open to change (* pg. 180)
- Are able to accept mistakes and failures as necessary precursors to creativity and problem solving (* pg. 186)
- Are skilled in creating a vision and seeing themselves and their lives as part of this vision (* pg. 77)
- Are able to communicate their vision with meaning so that others are inspired by it (* pg. 78)
- Are committed to maintaining trust through empathy, constancy, and integrity (* pg. 55, 250)
- Are skilled in translating intention into reality thorough committed action (execution) (* pg. 34)
