5 traits that separate great leaders from the rest
1. Tapping the power of silence. Leaders often hold court with their charisma. But knowing when to ask questions
and wait for answers enables you to learn more.
2. Admitting error. Part of a leader's job is to articulate a vision and motivate others to embrace it.
Visions can prove faulty once the execution begins. Sturdy leaders make midstream adjustments while acknowledging
when their initial vision was wrong.
3. Harnessing everyone's strengths. Experienced leaders analyze complex systems and translate complicated
challenges to simple directives. It's even more important to delegate effectively—and help staffers organize their workday
so that they maximize their activity.
4. Connecting problems to solutions. It's easy to identify problems and demand that employees solve them. True leaders
get into the weeds by defining how a problem evolved and outlining options.
5. Spotlighting smart decisions by others. If you're the brightest person in the room, you can make high-stakes decisions
with confidence. But enlightened leaders are willing to let underlings step up and make big decisions—and then credit their
wisdom when they achieve the desired outcomes.
