What Makes A Good Leader?

A good leader is unlikely to be aware of their uniqueness or the value that they bring to the organisation as they will be humble, however they will lead a team that performs at a level far higher than others in their industry, upto 202% higher. Outsiders will explain the success as luck or as being in the right place at the right time but there is a uniqueness to all great leaders.

Great leaders have two passions, firstly a passion for their people and secondly a passion for the organisation and its purpose. They combine these two passions to provide focus and purpose for their people and, in doing so, they engage the passion of their people.

There is no task for being passionate about people, being passionate about people is a theme that is woven through every aspect of a leader’s role, it is evident in the way you start your day, give feedback, cascade strategy, manage performance, conduct one on ones, and run team meetings.

Continue to Hone Your People Skills

Leaders are not born they are developed through hard work and a constant focus on improving all areas of their leadership. People are complicated and leading them is an evolving challenge. Give yourself fully to this challenge.

Passion for the organisation

It is about linking that value to each and every employee’s contribution whilst keeping a focus on those few things that lead to greater business success.
