It may not always be what you expect, but may form a part of your learning in the end. A good leader is someone who has immense amount of patience and endurance. 2. Confidence To lack confidence to speak, act and perform is a huge no-no for a leadership position. Since you are expected to lead by example, high levels of confidence are essential for others to respect and follow you. 3. Humbleness A snooty and nose-high-up-in-the-air attitude never really worked, except in high school perhaps. A humble and caring nature, on the other hand, will definitely win you much respect and following. 4. Daring To have a streak of adventure and a go-getter attitude is integral to be a good leader. Unless you show to your team or employees that you can take up any challenge that comes your way, how will they learn to face whatever challenges you throw their way? 5. Communication Skills Excellent communication skills is the basic requirement for a leadership. To be able to orate perfectly is a gift, but not an impossible one to accomplish. Look at Barack Obama for example. 6. Inspirational Your persona must inspire those around you. It must give to your team a sense that they must inculcate the traits you possess, in order to succeed in their career. The tasks that you undertake, the manner in which you execute them and your approach to work should be inspirational to your team members. 7. Hard-Working Any leader attains a position of leadership through sheer hard work and diligence. Callousness and short-cuts have no room in the profile of a leader. 8. Ambition Without ambition there are little chances of imbibing a strong streak of leadership. Ambition helps you keep yourself motivated, keeps you focused and helps you stay on the edge. A bit of all of the qualities mentioned above are essential to be a great leader. Some display more of a daring attitude while others are more tolerant and enduring in nature. However, an all-encompassing profile is what ultimately helps win the race. Credit: mensxp
