Attributes of ethotic leadership™

We need leaders of character,
competence and courage. Who
are passionate and disciplined
about protecting the long-term
interests of others.
Aligned

Attentive
We need leaders who are active
listeners and observant. Who
can promote inclusiveness and
gather information about a
particular situation and use it to
engage others, and to foster
shared reflections.

Agile
We need leaders who are not
afraid to be vulnerable, and
recognize that they don’t have to
win every argument to be in
control. Who are able to absorb
more risk and be more resilient.

We need leaders who can breakdown
stereotypes, be inclusive of others,
and be more transparent about their
feelings. Who can accept uncertainty
with fortitude and calm.
Accepting

Articulate
We need leaders who are genuine
in both their written and spoken
word, and who are able to adapt
and customize their
communications to their audience.
Who can be inclusive of
contentious points, yet also be
affable and capable of
demonstrating a sense of humor.

We need leaders who are able to
keep a sense of perspective in the
face of adversity. Who are able to
see optimistic outcomes despite
known risks.
Ardent

Action-oriented
We need leaders who are
comfortable being a champion of
others’ initiatives. Who may be
the smartest person in the room,
but won’t have to prove it. Who
have a sense of vision, and feel
confident to move forward when
others want to gather more facts.

We need leaders who can
generate a greater ROI because
they are able to do more with
less, and collaborate with team
members who have diverse
talents and ideas. Who will focus
on issues that can be controlled,
and won’t get hung up on missed
opportunities.
Accountable

Authentic
Perhaps the most important of the
ten attributes – we need leaders
who are connected with their
sense of purpose, who are
passionate about their life’s work,
and who have a well-defined
process for managing key
decisions.
