Distinctions of an Effective Leader

Would you consider yourself an effective leader? A recent survey that I read suggested many leaders believe that they are effective in leading others. Opposing these results however are the dozens of Employee Engagement survey’s that I’ve encountered over the years that suggest otherwise.

There is a reason for this.

What would you say are the most effective traits of a leader? If you’re like most there are some common traits that you’ll reference, but how important these are can vary when compared to someone else’s list. In addition although there are some traits that are mentioned more often then other when referring to an effective leader, there are also some traits that are unique.

What does all of this mean?

After working with dozen’s of employees at various Unstoppable Organizations, I’ve compiled a list of the most common traits. In the brief video below I outline these traits.

Take a watch and comment below as to other traits you think are important.
