If you were asked to list the top traits a stellar leader needs for 2008 ... what would these traits be? Since I’ve been asked just that … I began to observe leaders who I expect will reach new peaks in the coming year.
Their strengths?
1. Integrity to hardwire for ethical behavior.
2. Curiosity to discover as Einstein did.
3. Vision for inventions that drive the markets.
4. Entrepreneurship to unleash multiple intelligences across a firm.
5. Problem solving skills to strike as many solutions as barriers.
Do you know leaders with these strengths? Perhaps you're developing one or two yourself. If so … expect a good year in business … because you’ll come to the table well equipped with a winning edge.
What trait would you like to see most used to renew your workplace?
I would say that a great leader also needs top organizational skills to make things happen. Without them, the other great assets you list might fall by the wayside.
