 Ever
wondered why you volunteered to lead your next group meeting? Perhaps it's because
you possess leadership traits and seek out situations in which you can use them.
Find out if you're a true leader. Do you possess any or all of the following
leadership traits?
| 1. |
Leaders start projects by asking "What has to be done?"
rather than "What do I need?" |
| 2. |
Leaders next ask "What do I have to do
to make a real contribution?" The answer best suits the leader's
strengths and the needs of the project. |
| 3. |
Leaders continually ask "What are my organization's
purposes and objectives?" and "What qualifies as acceptable
performance and adds to the bottom line?" |
| 4. |
Leaders don't want clones of themselves as
employees. They never ask "Do I like or dislike this employee?"
But they won't tolerate poor performance. |
| 5. |
Leaders aren't threatened by others who have strengths they
lack. |
