III. 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader
1. CHARACTER: Be a piece of a rock
Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common
purpose and the character which inspires confidence.
Bernard Montgomery,

British Field Marshal

What must everyone know about character?

o Actions are the Real Indicator of Character
o Talent is a Gift, but Character is a Choice
o Character Brings Lasting Success with People
o Strong Character is the Foundation on which to Build Success

2. CHARISMA: The First Impression can Seal the deal

How can you have charisma? Be more concerned about making others
feel good about themselves than you are making them feel good about
you.
Dan Reiland, Vice President of Leadership Development, INJOY

When it comes to charisma, the bottom line is othermindedness. Leaders who

think about others and their concerns before thinking of themselves exhibit charisma.
John C. Maxwell

3. COMMITMENT: It separates DOERS from DREAMERS

o To the boxer, its getting off the mat one more time than youve been knocked
down.
o To the marathoner, its running another ten miles when your strength is gone.
o To the solider, its going over the hill, not knowing whats waiting on the other
side.
o To the leader, its all that and more because everyone you lead is depending on
you.

Improve your Commitment

o Look at how you spend your time, are you really committed or do you just
say you are?
o Know whats worth dying for.
o Practice the Edison method. Make your plans public, and then you might be
more committed to follow through.

4. Communication: Without It You Travel Alone

o
o
o
o

Simplify your Message - Its not what you say, but also how you say it.
Really Care about your Audience
Show the Truth - Believe what you say, Live what you say
Seek a Response - the goal of all communication is action

Developing

excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership.

The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency
and enthusiasm to others.
If a leader cant get a message across clearly to motivate others to act on it, then having a
message doesnt even matter. Gilbert Amelio

5. COMPETENCE: If you build it, they will come

Competence goes beyond words. Its the leaders ability to say it, plan it, and do it in
such a way that others know that you know how- and know that they want to follow you. John.

do.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Maintaining a Good Attitude Is Easier Than Regaining One

16. RESPONSIBILITY: If You Wont Carry the Ball, You Cant Lead
the Team
Success on any major scale requires you to accept
responsibility. . .
In the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people
have is the ability to take on responsibility.
Michael Korda, Editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster

within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of

have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer, Philosopher & Humanitarian

The true leader serves. Serves people. Serves their best

interests, and in so doing will not always be popular, may not always
impress. But because true leaders are motivated by loving concern
rather than a desire for personal glory, they are willing to pay the
price.
Eugene B. Habecker, Author
