We all love lists. The best this. The five most important that. Four easy steps to get there. Most of those lists fade quickly and lose relevance. We throw them away after they’ve endured a lifespan a little better than a Minnesota mosquito. SMACK!
In September of 2014, I wrote about the 7 Qualities of the Best Leaders. I followed that up with 3 More Qualities of the Best Leaders in April of 2017. Having reviewed them again with my characteristically critical eye, I believe these lists stand the test of time. These 10 qualities are the real deal. Lest I sound too proud, I struggle being proficient in a few of these qualities: in particular #1, #5, and I get concerned about #10, too.
Take a look at the 10 Qualities of the Best Leaders and conduct your own self-assessment.
