An example of such leadership trait and mindset is observed in the style of my organization’s CEO and marketing manager.
4. Accountability: not only their own but the leaders also take responsibility for the actions of their subordinates too. They are the ones who look after the issues that are outstanding in the organization and then keep a check on the employees and then monitor the effectiveness of their company’s overall performance. Almost all the managers and leaders in the group have this trait and mindset. Be it the Marketing head, HR head, the Finance head or the IT head; they have a mentality that is accountable for not only their deeds but the deeds of the subordinates also.
5. Confidence: One of the traits that are common among all the departmental heads and leaders is that they are confident and have confidence in themselves and their decisions. The subordinates and employees are naturally drawn towards them, and they seek their advice and their opinion while formulating strategies and deciding their course of action.
6. Optimism: The leaders are the constant source of positive energy in the organization. Their ability to communicate with the subordinates in the most efficient way, help the team in achieving their goals and targets efficiently. They are the ones who have the solutions to almost every problem and issue in the office.
7. Focus: as discussed earlier, the leaders having focused mindset will portray a more targeted approach towards the achievement of the organization’s goals. They can think from some perspective and then decide on plans and strategies. Every policy they make is targeted towards the success of the company’s objective and goal. This trait is also common among the managers and leaders of all the departments in the organization.
8. Inspiration: these leaders are an inspiration to all the employees in the group who look up to and follow the footprints of their leaders. They are the ones who know the art of effectively communicating and motivating every employee in the organization. The organization’s CEO and the Managing directors are a real inspiration for almost every employee in my respective organization.
