The Right Leader
Requiring three personal qualities...
Everyone who serves in an executive leadership role must possess three personal qualities: Trust, Expertise and Dynamics. A wealth of leadership research as well as our own experience in recruiting leadership points to specific behaviors and characteristics...
1. TRUST
- Meeting commitments: Being a promise keeper.
- Walking with integrity: Showing consistency in words and deeds.
- Serving with sincerity: Demonstrating support for, care of and trust in others.
2. EXPERTISE
- Demonstrating skill: Success in functional competencies and industry experiences.
- Managing things: Accomplished in planning, organizing, directing and controlling.
- Directing people: Positive reputation in recruiting, hiring, instructing, developing and motivating.
3. DYNAMICS
- Vision: More than forward-looking and inspiring, it is seeing and sharing a desired future, setting the right example, as well as encouraging and enabling others.
- Wisdom: More than knowledge and intelligence, it is sound judgment to make good decisions.
- Strength: More than energy and endurance, it is exercising physical stamina, intellectual honesty, emotional maturity and spiritual steadfastness.
- Courage: More than being positive, enthusiastic and confident, it is facing tough situations and following through.
