There's plenty of information written about leaders and what makes them successful. A successful leader will exhibit many characteristics, traits and actions that will cause people to follow them. Here are a few thoughts on what I believe are key to a successful leader.
• Lead because you want to
• Lead with compassion and truth
• Deliver a message that inspires and motivates
• Live by the code others will emulate
• Provide a vision for the future. Offer hope
• Provide those you lead a chance to shine
• Make other people feel important and appreciated
• Live a life of integrity. Not only by words, but by your actions as well
• Set the standard others are willing to follow
• Cultivate the talents of those you lead
• Continuously learn and educate
• Create an environment of constant development
• Set the pace through your expectations and example
• Provide opportunities for people to grow, both personally and professionally
• Care and act with compassion
• Everyone has potential. Look beyond their short comings. Even if its difficult to do so
• Remember! The title doesn’t make you a leader
