Those who demonstrate the following qualities have leadership potential:
Do you possess them?
- Decisiveness The ability to make the tough decisions. Do you have the gumption to act independently?
-Integrity Your actions match your words. This builds trust from others in your organization.
- Trust The ability to engender respect, confidence and belief in your actions.
- Value diversity. Everyone's opinion matters.
- Performance What are the results of your actions?
Having leadership potential may mean the difference between being employed or getting that new position.
As Diane Ravitch, a noted historian who often writes on leadership, "The person who knows HOW will always have a job...But,the person who knows WHY will always be the boss".
