In addition your followers must understand where you are leading them. There are few leadership traits that many of the great leaders of the past possess. Open Mind Leaders possess the ability to accept comments, ideas, and thoughts from all points of view equally. Usually a true leader will not have made up her mind until she hears all sides of the argument. And a top-notch leader gives equal weight to all opinions. A good example of this behavior is President Barack Obama who spent the first few weeks of his presidency wooing the Republicans in the hopes of opening a strong dialogue. He was interested in hearing their opinions and encouraged conversation. Honesty One of the most important leadership traits is honesty. No one can learn to trust and follow an individual if they are untruthful, deceptive or misleading. A good leader is sincere in all he does and says and quite open in his actions. There is no sneakiness or mystery about a good leader. Bravery Bravery is another very important leadership trait. You can think of many a great military leader who distinguished himself with acts of great courage remaining calm in the face of life-threatening danger. A good leader is not afraid to move forward regardless of the stumbling block or obstacles that might appear in her path. In addition by using another of the leadership traits, inspiration, a good leader can encourage her followers to surmount all difficulties and follow her into the "belly of the beast" and come out the other side triumphant. Intelligence and Ability These two leadership traits often go hand in hand. Effective leaders prepare themselves before attempting a task. They learn all they can about the assignment or goal as well as all the steps to complete the task or achieve the goal. In addition many strong leaders have been trained, often for years, in their field of leadership. The ability to effectively complete a task or reach a goal is the result of a leader's intelligence, training and experience. No top leader will go into a situation unprepared. Versatility An effective leader can easily adapt to a changing situation. Using a strong imagination the leader is able to quickly alter plans and behaviors and usually in an innovate manner to move around or over obstacles to achieve success. In addition a good leader is able to adapt is mannerism to the individual personalities of his followers to better inspire, encourage and motivate. A good leader knows what works for one follower might not work for another and can adapt quickly. A prime example of versatility is your favorite teacher. Usually this individual was able to alter his teaching methods to help you learn in the manner that suited you most. He also encouraged you to think for yourself and showed incredible patience while you worked through a problem to a successful solution. While some of us might be born with a propensity towards these individual traits any of us can be an effective leader. Acknowledge the traits that followers seek in their leaders and work to adopt these traits as your own.
