Quick decision making and responsibility
According to Leadership Now, a leader must be able to make big decisions quickly and on the spot, without feeling stressed out or nervous. Many such decisions are hard and many of them influence a lot of people. Thus learning to make quick and correct decisions and accepting responsibility for them are basic requirements for the leader of a business team or any other team.
Short-term and long-term view
Everything a leader does is compatible with both short-term and long-term perspectives. A leader keeps in mind circumstances connected to bigger plans and thus ensures the sustainability of success. A leader also helps others plan their activities so that they also contribute to the success of the whole team.
Constant learning
Good leaders never stop learning. They keep learning, stay in touch with new trends and are always a step ahead of others. They keep learning in the area of both hard and soft skills, such as communication, leadership, and so on.
Being surrounded with smart people
Constant learning and getting ahead is linked to the need to surround oneself with experienced, smart and ambitious people who can teach you something. A good leader always has such inspirational people around them, and is ready to listen to their advice and experience.
