Physical and psychological health are vital to riding the ups and downs of running an organization. Respect for others. Unless someone genuinely values people and is willing to minimize status differences, he or she won't receive reciprocal respect from employees. Leaders need to be intellectually flexible and embrace the opportunities that change brings. Leaders need to understand that their emotions have a strong effect on their followers.
Poor leaders are unwilling to share the limelight, which triggers resentment among followers.
Leaders who are full of themselves will ultimately lose the respect of their followers, especially if they ignore or demean others. Unless a manager is leading people toward a goal, they will become disenchanted. Maintaining the status quo hurts morale and is often bad for business. It's hard to be cynical and lead. Where cynics criticize from the sidelines, leaders leap in and try to solve problems.
