Qualities of a good leader

1. Be Results Orientated. Let’s put this right on the table: At the end of the day as a leader, you are responsible for delivering results however they are defined. In the end, it is not about effort, which is no doubt good and very much needed, but what really counts is what is accomplished. You have to keep this in the forefront of your mind as a guide to your activity. Great leaders spend their energy on the most effective activities to achieve the greatest outcomes. Remember, action orientation is good, but be oriented on the right actions. Don’t just be busy; be a busy leader who gets results.
2. Be Customer Focused. To get the best results, you have to know your customers. Customers may be internal or external. We all have them. (Note: If you don’t know who your customers are, you need to get an answer right away.). Everything you do needs to be directed at what customers need or will need. Get “outside the glass.” In other words, look beyond your area. You should find out what your customers want by asking them. You can’t intuit this one. You should continually listen to your customers; really listen to what they have to say.
3. Have a Vision. Simply put, know where you are headed. Have a picture of it in your head, and be able to communicate effectively it. This is not the stuff of just a CEO. It is critically important that you be able to paint a vivid picture of where your group or organization is headed. In the end, you should use the vision to motivate and guide action. Make your vision a shared one with your group. Every member of your group should be able to describe a similar picture and communicate it.
