A great leader is someone who practices the art of listening
Leadership consists of two components: social influence and maximizing others’ efforts.
Influence is about winning people over to a new way of thinking and practice, through questioning, idea sharing, collaboration, and modeling. It emphasizes persuasion and motivation over coercion. Influence occurs primarily through emotional connections, such as sharing triumphant or challenging times together. It also develops when leaders routinely demonstrate feelings of appreciation, care, concern, and empathy.
A great leader also inspires and motivates others to achieve their full potential and can steer a team or organization toward success.
A great leader must possess a range of skills and characteristics, including: vision, communication skills, emotional intelligence, integrity, adaptability, accountability, team building, strategic thinking, and courage.
