Just some quick thoughts worth posting from Jack Welch's book "Winning" - I decided to post this mainly as a reminder to myself but I hope you can benefit from it as well.What to look for in a leader...
Beside the basics: Integrity, Intelligence & Emotional Maturity - Welch describes some valuable traits to look for in leaders
- Positive Energy - capacity to go-g0-go with a healthy vigor and upbeat attitude through the good and bad
- Energize Others - the ability to influence and impact others with that positive attitude
- Edge - the ability to make tough calls - to say yes or no (not maybe)
- Execute - simply put : ability to get things done
- Passion: a leader cares, believes and sweats for it.
Welch then goes on to describe how a leader's success is measured by how well one grows others. A leader makes his people better, stronger, smarter, bolder. In a nutshell: your success as a leader comes not from what you do every day but from the reflected glory of your team's performance.
Great Book ... I highly recommend it.
