What is leadership? What qualities should leaders possess? It is difficult to define them accurately, but they are not so difficult to be identified. Leaders don' t force other people to go along with them. They bring them along. Leaders demand much of others, but they also give much of themselves. They are ambitious, not only for themselves, but also for those who work with them.
Successful leaders are always oriented to the future instead of sticking to the past. They are eager to take responsibility, to initiate, and to innovate. They are not satisfied with merely taking care of what is already there. They want to move forward to create something new. Good leaders understand that respect is something you have to have in order to get. A leader who has respect for other people at all levels of an organization, for the work they do, and for their abilities, expectation and needs, will find that respect is returned.
