We must get to know people, to stand in their shoes, to be honest and loyal. Leaders must be truthful, see capacity, strength, and talent in everyone. They must constantly look for another way of doing something when the answer isn't simple. Leadership is learning to be a midwife. Leaders in this field must have vision, a vision which is crystal clear and undaunted by barriers.
Leaders embody their vision in every way, living and breathing their message.
Leaders are learners not knowers, willing to make mistakes and own them, willing to take risks and chances. Leaders know themselves well, their strengths and weaknesses. Leaders are good listeners, have compassion, are genuine and honest. Leaders often have a quality and a presence that attracts people to work with them. Leaders have an open door always.
