A Wake-up Call
Welcome back to the Business Discussion board here in the Community! Today, I may step on some toes. I've compiled a list of "wake-up calls" that every good leader should hear. So get your boots on, let's take a look...
- If you can't handle criticism, you may not be fit to lead.
- Your title makes you a manager, your people make you a leader.
- Don't preach teamwork, and then play favorites.
- If you're not developing your team, you're diminishing them.
- If you're not accountable, you're not credible.
- Don't just set the pace, set the standard.
- If you're actions don't inspire, your words won't either.
Now, it's not all up to the leader. This is still about teamwork and there has to be a team with a great work ethic and willing to be led. A "well oiled machine," if you will. What would you add to the list? What are some other good leadership traits?
