• Ten Qualities of Leadership

1.   Humility: This is the ability to control your ego, not permanently subdue it. Humility should not be confused with timidity. Humility is keeping one’s ego in check.

7.   Knowledge: Use your knowledge wisely to promote effective action; and when in doubt gain the necessary knowledge.

8.   Direction: Have clear goals and a clear vision for yourself which you then pass on to others. It is important that you have clarity of direction yourself, and the ability to clearly communicate this direction.

10.   Charisma: Charisma does not mean the ability to win a popularity contest, rather it means that you are likable. We all tend to gravitate to individuals we like, and so as a leader be friendly and likeable.
