Leadership can be acquired to some extent, if not "by nature", and can be worked on to maximize its potential.
To ensure a certain charisma that is indisputable in the eyes of others, certain qualities are essential and characterize a good leader. These include
Confidence: essential for inspiring trust in others and effectively communicating your vision and ideas.
Vision: a 360-degree view to maximize individual potential and achieve collective goals.
Open-mindedness: nobody holds the truth. Knowing how to challenge oneself and remain curious about all new opportunities and possibilities is essential to realizing one's dreams. Leaders know they can't do it alone. There's strength in numbers, and strength in collective knowledge.
Leading by example: this is a fundamental principle. To listen to and follow others, we must lead by example and practice what we preach.
Alignment with values and beliefs: a good leader can only be convincing if he or she is deeply in tune with the project and the ideas he or she is defending.
Multi-disciplinary intelligence: good leaders instinctively perceive the abilities, personalities and working methods of their colleagues. Armed with all this, they are able to bring their world together and lead it towards the best possible success for each individual.
Empathy: an integral part of a highly developed emotional intelligence, enabling leaders to bring out the best in each individual.
Freedom: independence in terms of ideas and decisions, closely linked to self-confidence and a sense of responsibility.
Responsibility: linked to the previous section.
Responsibility: in connection with the previous section, managers who make free choices must assume responsibility for their decisions, risk-taking, etc.
Take the initiative: good leaders are admired and respected for being decisive, confident and bold.
Defend and push your ideas calmly and respectfully: even if you have a good idea, it's no use if you can't present it, explain it and sell it, so to speak. Knowing how to persuade is therefore a major asset.
Effective communication: this is an essential skill for getting your ideas across and, above all, for gaining the support of your subordinates. Leaders listen to their subordinates and are constantly asking them for new possibilities and opportunities.
Identifying and harnessing individual talents within the team: this is one of the pillars of leadership, which consists in identifying, harnessing and organizing individual and collective talents to ensure success for all.
Shake things up for the benefit of each individual and the group as a whole: disruption and innovation are two powerful leadership concepts. Always challenge your ideas, your work and the group as a whole, so that you can reach the heights of your dreams.
