Some sit and pontificate about whether leaders are made or born.

People want to see that you actively demonstrate these leadership qualities and will not just assume that you have them. Let's begin.......

Leadership Traits:

•Empathy: Creating a legitimate rapport with you those you lead makes it less likely that personal issues and resentment can creep in and derail the group. When your team knows that you are empathetic to their concerns, they will be more likely to work with you and share in your vision, rather than foster negative feelings.

•Consistency: Being a consistent leader will gain you respect and credibility, which is essential to getting buy-in from the group. By setting an example of fairness and credibility, the team will want to act the same way.
