What is the most important Leadership trait?
There are so many important traits that a leader must have. Such as
Charisma, Positive behavior, Confidence, Courage, Knowledge, Integrity and the
like.
But there’s one that’s in front, this is the ability of the leader to
inspire his people. Leaders that know how to inspire have an incredible
enthusiasm for their job. They always have a positive mindset and as a result,
this positive mindset cascades down to each and every member of his organization.
Leaders that inspire must also be an exceptional communicator: Every
word that he utters must be motivational and inspiring. They must also embody
their utterance. However, there are leaders who are only good
with communication but they don’t walk what they preach, this is the principal
reason why they fail to inspire their people.
An inspirational leader should also know how to sacrifice his personal
comfort for the sake of his people. Not sacrifice his people for his personal
comfort. For instance, if the budget is tight thus there is no money for
important miscellaneous expenses. The leader must not think twice to shoulder
the expenses.
A Leader/Manager gains tons of respect from his people when he is always there to help them. When he dives with his people in the sea of problems that they are in. By doing so, he earns their respect and commitment. Thus, he further inspires them to be his committed team members in the achievement of his goals.
