What are 3 qualities every leader must have?
1. Strength-Based Leadership - Every individual have their strengths and weaknesses. Recognize and focus on one's strength utilizing and developing it to the fullest rather than concentrating and trying to develop their weak areas. This would help increase productivity while maintaining a high level of motivation.
2. Empathy - It makes you are a great leader and human being. Stay rooted, humble and relevant.
3. Direct, Not Dictate - Show the team the direction by leading from the front. Steer the team by setting an example and not try to order, command or control them. This will help them feel empowered and recognized bringing out the best in them.
