Wie geht's?
I'm straying into Baggy Trousers territory for this post. Why? Just because.
I'm fresh from reading a post by Dan Rockwell (yes, that is his name - cool huh!), a.k.a. Leadership Freak.
In it he posed this as a question (as a predictor about how someone would lead):
“If you had to work for a leader who was outstanding in five of the following character traits, what are the top five traits you would pick?
- Creative
- Curious
- Driven for results
- Organized
- Kind
- Humorous
- Dedicated
- Relationship oriented
- Fair
- Fun
- Humble
- Bold
- Decisive
- Loves learning
- Perseverance
- Forgiving
- High energy
- Honest
- Stands up for their team
- Develops people
All of those are important traits but I'm only allowed five. So, I'd go for:
- Kind (I prefer that they have a moral compass)
- Honest (integrity is key)
- Develops people (being self-less)
- Fun (I figure if they are fun they also have a good sense of humour)
- Relationship oriented (high emotional intelligence is required)
It's a great question and I can see myself in those traits (in that, it's how I aim to lead).
Have a go yourself. It's an interesting exercise.
