We’ve shared leadership qualities before but think Jim Rohn’s are worth sharing again. Rohn, an author and motivational speaker, identified what he views as the top 7 leadership qualities:
As a leader, how we make people feel impacts our relationship with them and the quality and respect within our work culture. We want to genuinely show compassion and let people know they are valued and appreciated.
Quality leaders are not just known for their integrity and trustworthiness but also for influencing and inspiring team members. This especially applies when there is a need to deliver tough messages; there needs to be clarity and include how others may feel taken into consideration.
Our goal as a quality leader is to have our behaviors modelled by those we interact with. We want to engage people, we want to interact with others in their preferred style (not ours!), we truly listen to what others have to say (understanding that sometimes our message may not be well received), but we can show empathy and explain what prompted the message. Ie. Company mandates, errors, cost savings, growth, etc
Do you actively apply Rohn’s 7 leadership qualities? Are there any that can be improved upon?
