The ABC’s of Leadership

Over the next few weeks, I am going to be talking about the ABC’s of Leadership. This will be a series of posts, each one beginning with a word from the alphabet. We will start with A and go to Z. You can expect at least three posts per week, which means it will take us about two months or so to cover the alphabet. It is my hope that through your comments we will have some great discussion.

For today, I would like to know what qualities you look for in a leader. We all have a notion in our minds of what a great leader looks like. Perhaps they are visionary, perhaps they are kind, able to inspire. Put your thinking caps on now and start thinking about what it is that says to you “that’s a great leader.”

For me, it begins with integrity. I want a leader who says what they mean and means what they say, and will do what they say they are going to do. I don’t tend to be a “sugar coat” kind of person so just tell me the facts, even if it’s bad news. I happen to believe that people would rather hear bad news than try to make up in their heads what is really happening. I will expand on what I think integrity is when we get to “I” in the alphabet!

What about you? What’s the number one quality in a leader? I look forward to your comments.
