Characteristics of a leader
Laura has listed 5 characteristics which she feels a leader ought to have over at her post: “Are you a work at home leader?”
I believe these are relevant for anyone who are looking at leadership behaviour or how a leader ought to be. But in the end, it is important to note that none of these 5 characteristics point at other people. A leader and leadership traits are based on what is inside you. In other words, who you are and what you are largely dictates how you behave. And how you behave will ultimately display your leadership (or lack of) to the people around you.
Thanks Laura, I am flattered that you read my posts!

This is so very true! I always tell my kids to compete with themselves, not with the other kids. It’s important to focus on making yourself the best you can be, not constantly comparing yourself to someone else.
I’m glad you enjoyed the post!

If we can learn this one thing, life would be so much happier for lots of folks. True humility is not putting yourself down, but rather, fully grasping your skills, talents and limitations and honestly facing each. When we choose to share them, therein lies the seed of true greatness. Your kids will do very well indeed with such wise guidance from you!
