1. 6 Leadership Traits You
(The Employee) Need
To Develop On-The-Job

2. 1. Vision
Leaders have a clear vision of where they want to go,
specifically related to an organization, how they will grow it
into a well known business with a recognizable brand that
differentiates it from its competition. However, vision alone
is not enough.
Leaders not only have this vision but are able to develop
and implement a plan for success. Passion and drive
complete the picture; leaders are also able to share their
vision and generate support from others to fulfill the goal.

3. 2. Focus And Discipline
Strong leaders are disciplined. They set priorities and
single-mindedly create a set of actions that they fulfill. This
focus enables them to drive action and achieve results. You
can spot a good leader because they are so focused on the
goal while inspiring and encouraging others to participate.

4. 3. Trust And Values
At the core of every true leader is a trust and value system
that hinges on integrity. Leaders display a genuine
character and never sway from a truthful path. Leaders do
not take short cuts that have the potential to harm the
business.
They would rather take a bit longer and ensure that
integrity is maintained rather than pursue a less righteous
path. They are honest, forthright, and controlled to ensure
that others feel comfortable in approaching them with
information and ideas. This ability to build trust generates
followers that are highly loyal.

5. 4. Shared Success And Shared
Failure
Great leaders share success with others, and also failures
as well. They have the ability to credit others with success
and also take responsibility for failures. The ability to take
the good with the bad and share it all is the hallmark of a
leader.

6. 5. Humility
“We are all human.” Leaders recognize and embrace this.
They do not put themselves on any pedestals but treat
others the way they expect to be treated and work to
support the overall efforts of a group. They are receptive to
new ideas and realize that they are not the only ones that
can foster change.
A good leader listens and can accept that a different way of
doing things might be better than maintaining an existing
situation. They do not judge but are open, establishing
trust and mutual respect.

7. 6. Humor
Above all leaders can use humor to create camaraderie and
generate support. There is nothing like a good dose of
laughter to diffuse a tough situation.
There is no doubt that some people are born leaders.
However, those traits need to be nurtured to realize their
full potential. So there is more than a dash of molding that
needs to be thrown into the pot and stirred to „produce‟
someone who can truly inspire, motivate, and lead others
to achieve greatness. If you aspire to be one of these
people, then it‟s time to start developing your leaderships
skills.
