The following prerequisites for successful leadership were mentioned by Forbes.com.
1. You expect problems
You accept that things don't usually go according to plan. You are able to see employee failures as opportunities to improve.
2. You appreciate people who want to achieve something
The best workers for you are not those who perfectly meet expectations by following set rules and procedures. Rather than what they have already done, you are interested in what workers still want to achieve.
3. You accept other opinions
You don't surround yourself only with people who agree with you. You are looking for a wider range of opinions.
4. You like overcoming obstacles
You actively search for various barriers that need removing so that you could work better together. You inspire others to do the same.
5. You prefer trust over control
You are primarily interested in results and don't need to keep others under permanent control.
6. You are looking for general well-being
You know very well people are not robots that switch off after work. Thus you are also interested in employee health and satisfaction, which depends on both their professional and private lives.
7. Your goal is to help others
Good leaders do not think the team should help them be successful. On the contrary, they help others succeed by supporting them.
8. You know how to show appreciation
Good leaders are able to express appreciation, which is how they form the culture in both their team and the whole business.
