Characteristics of a Great Leader

What defines a leader? What are the characteristics that comprise a leader?
A leader is someone with integrity, courage and vision. Someone who isn’t out for themselves but the team. A true leader understands that without the help of a great team, they are not going to get anywhere. But having a team means nothing, if they are not willing to follow you. How do you get a team to follow you. Show them genuineness. Meaning, show them that you truly care about their needs and desires. A great leader is humble and demonstrates humility along with tenacity. Never giving up on the goals of the team. It’s not just about setting and hitting goals, but also having and showing a vision that is larger than the leader themselves. A vision that each person on the team sees themselves a part of. They each fit in the vision, the end result. So what makes a leader is simple, a leader is clearly someone who others are willing to follow based on their ability to demonstrate and execute their vision with humility, integrity, empathy, confidence, and commitment.
