Qualities of a Leader

Do you have what it takes to be a leader? During a gathering, a good friend of mine shared with me the essential qualities one must possessed in order to be a good leader, and I couldn't agree more. I'm pleased to share them with you:

1) Vision
2) Know yourself (Strengths & Weaknesses)
3) Leaders know they don't know everything
4) Willing to admit mistakes
5) Willing to change (for the better)
6) Put others before self
7) Overcome challenges and learn from failures
8) Responsible
9) Integrity
10) Persistency & Consistency
11) Build teams
12) Self-motivated
13) Mentor
14) Decisive
15) Go the extra mile
16) Help others to succeed

Looks daunting? Not at all! It may look so in the beginning, but once you identify & work on your weaknesses and improve on your strengths, you will find yourself gaining confidence in time to come!
