5 Leadership Qualities That Make You a Good Leader
Whenever I think of a good leader, I think of someone who is kind, understanding, resilient and personable. Someone who is trusted, a role-model and leads by example. Leaders are people we admire and yearn to be like because they make us want to be better leaders ourselves.
Here are 5 leadership qualities that make a good leader.
Confidence
Making a list of all the things you’re good at, what compliments your friends and family give you, what you like about yourself, etc., can really help put into perspective how much you have to offer.
being genuine
It’s almost impossible to be a good and effective leader without being genuine. Being truly genuine means you have the very best intentions for others and are always truthful.
SOLUTION-ORIENTED
One of the best qualities in the workplace especially, is to be solution-oriented, meaning you look to solve problems instead of dwelling on them.
understanding
One of the most crucial desires of humans is to simply be understood, so when a good leader shows a sense of understanding and says things like “I know what you mean," people feel more connected.
empathetic
Perhaps the most important quality to have among mankind. Empathy. Having empathy is the ability to truly put yourself in other people’s shoes. The ability to feel without truly understanding.
