Positivity: Happy people make effective leaders.
They display transformational leadership, which means they're good at inspiring
and motivating their team and stimulating them intellectually. Positivity was a
better predictor of leadership effectiveness compared to being an extrovert.
Acceptance of change: Zenger Folkman, a leadership
development consultancy, in a study found that young managers are perceived as
more effective because they welcome novelty; the reason, is that younger
managers' relative lack of experience means they're more optimistic about the
changes they propose.
Maturity and stability: The technical term is “emotional maturity“.
Tom as Chamorro-Premuzic, a business psychologist, wrote in The Harvard Business
Review, “The best managers in the world tend to be stable rather than
excitable, consistent rather than erratic, as well as polite and considerate.“
Integrity: Chamorro-Premuzic also suggested that
integrity is a key component of leadership effectiveness; unethical or
counterproductive ways undermines you and your organisation. According to one
of the psychologist Travi S Bradberry, the traps that leaders fall into that
undermines their integrity is making everything about them and micromanagement.
Hard work: Research suggests that
conscientiousness-your tendency to be organised and hardworking -is the only
trait that predicts success.
Vision: Zenger Folkman study found that the most important quality
of innovative leaders was that they could vividly describe their vision of the
future.
Respect for co-workers: The most important leadership
behaviour for employee engagement is respect.
