Careerbuilder.com recently published a list of five traits that would be leaders need to develop if they expect people to follow them. These traits are listed below:
- Be honest at all times. If you’re not, people won’t trust you.
- Know where you’re going and stay the course.
- Be passionate about what you’re doing. This creates excitement which is contagious.
- Treat everyone the same, regardless of who they are. Never play favorites.
- Believe in yourself. If you don’t, no one else will.
As basic as these traits may sound, this is the stuff that good leaders are made. If you make the effort to develop these traits and live them out on a consistent basis, people will line up to follow you.
