What good Leaders
should do-Attributes of Leadership
Excellence
• Leaders need to act as if they are in control,
project confidence, and talk about the
future, even while recognizing and
acknowledging the organizational realities
and their own limitations.
• Because leaders succumb to the same self-
enhancement tendencies as everyone else,
magnified by the adulation they receive,
they have a tendency to lose their
behavioral inhibitions and behave in
destructive ways. They need to avoid this
trap and maintain an attitude of wisdom and
a healthy dose of modesty.
• Because the desirability of exercising total
control is itself a half-truth, effective
leaders must learn when and how to get out
of the way and let others make
contributions. Sometimes the best
leadership is no leadership at all.

• Leaders often have the most positive

impact when they help build systems where
the actions of a few powerful and
magnificently skilled people matter least.
Perhaps the best way to view leadership is
as the task of architecting organizational
systems, teams, and cultures—as
establishing the conditions and
preconditions for others to succeed."
What Leaders should avoid:

Leaders should not say ‘ it can’t be

done.’
Leaders should never focus on the past.
Leaders should try not to resist change.
Leaders should never belittle their
workers.
Leaders never assign blame.
Leaders never tell people what to do.
Leaders never talk when they could be
listening.
Leaders never fight.

 All great leaders have some aspects of
their personalities in common.
Outstanding leaders share seven
qualities:
• Great leaders identify, cultivate, and inspire
enthusiastic followers
• Great leaders focus their efforts
• Great leaders face and overcome great
difficulties
• Great leaders expect more from themselves
than they do from others
• Great leaders are not afraid to make tough
decisions
• Great leaders have a vision and utmost faith
in themselves to fulfill that vision
• Great leaders are ambitious for themselves,
their companies, and their people
The 6 C's of Leadership:
• Courage. Great leaders take risks. That takes
planning and discipline, to be sure, but most
of all it takes courage

• Creativity. Great leaders embrace

imagination. They foster innovation. Do it
with economic logic and operational
discipline, yes, but do it with creativity
• Compassion and Caring. Caring deeply about
what you’re doing, about the welfare of your
people and customers, and about doing things
with a strong moral fiber. Great leaders have
emotional and ethical as well as intellectual
integrity. They love, and they love ethically.
• Curiosity. Great leaders come to the party
with a sense of wonder and awe. They
restlessly and repeatedly ask questions
like-- What’s out there? (let's check it out!)
What’s behind there? What’s underneath
there? What if? Why not? When can we try
it? What will happen? What did happen?
What did we learn? What’s our next step?

• Consistency. The issue of consistency is

essential for effective branding and
sustained competitive success. Great
leaders create an environment where C’s
#1-5 aren’t a one-shot flash-in-the-pan deal,
but so steady and ingrained that people
inside and outside the organization can
count on them.
