Exceptional Leadership

Being an exceptional leader requires

• Being genuine (aka authentic)
• Being both self-aware and aware of the challenges of those who report to you will allow you to lead with empathy
• Communicating with directness and honesty, especially in the difficult issues and tough decisions
• Being a great listener and taking time to tell people what they “need” to hear versus what they “want” to hear
• It’s not about your success but about making others achieve their potential.  If you do that, you’ll be incredibly successful
