The Best Leaders Possess This Rare Combination Of Traits: Here’s How You Can, Too
Source | www.forbes.com | Amy Blaschka
Think about your favorite leader. It could be your former or current boss, a titan of industry, or maybe a friend or colleague that everyone seems to admire. Chances are, that person possesses a rare yet winning combination of two essential traits you may not have considered before: being perceptive and positive.
And before you dismiss the combination as being too simple or soft for business, let’s break down each of those qualities to see how you can use them to boost your leadership potential:
Perceptive
When you’re perceptive, you are good at understanding things or figuring things out. Perceptive people are insightful, intelligent, and able to see what others cannot. They envision the possibilities, embracing what could be, rather than being satisfied with the status quo of what is. While some seem to have this talent innately, others can employ their soft skills to help them become more perceptive like the leaders they admire.
Sir Richard Branson believes listening sets him apart because it makes him sensitive to his team’s needs, allowing him also to be highly responsive.
