5 Characteristics of Effective Leaders
The great leadership guru, Warren Bennis, once shared that drawing from decades of studying leadership, he noted that effective leaders share five characteristics:
1. They have a strong sense of purpose, a passion, a conviction, a sense of wanting to do something important to make a difference.
2. They are capable of developing and sustaining deep and trusting relationships. They seem to be consistantly caring and authentic with people.
3. They are purveyors of hope and have positive illusions about reality.
4. They have a balance in their lives between work, power, and family or outside activities.
5. They have a bias toward action and, while not reckless, they do not resist taking risks.
