Human groups (companies, political parties, unions …) are characterized by investing a lot of time and effort in detecting the leaders for the successful future. The importance in this point usually focuses on the detection of profiles with good potential in intellectual, communicative, and even physical attributes. This vision presupposes that there are a known number of personal traits that a leader must have, traits that have been well defined. So below are few things which successful person must develop in their personality:
- They have confidence in themselves. In order to have ambitious goals, you need to believe that you can follow the plans to achieve them. When you believe in yourself, others tend to believe in you too.
- They show initiative. The only way to grow in the corporate hierarchy or build your own business is looking for other things to do once you have done your homework.
- They are imaginative. When you do not have initiative or creativity “95 percent of the people of the world do not have an objective in life”.
- They are active. Maybe you graduated from prestigious universities and read the most important historical books, but that does not mean anything if you do not convert that knowledge into actions.
- They are enthusiastic. Do what you love or you will not have the energy to be truly successful.
- Practice self-control. He did not start being successful until he learned that he was working against him when he was arrogant or angry. Nobody becomes a leader until he learns to control himself.
- They go beyond what is asked of them. The most successful people outperform the competition and, when they reach the top, compete with themselves.
- They are extremely nice. When you are charismatic and take care of relationships with others, you build a network of people who are willing to help you when you ask.
- They know how to separate the truth from what is doubtful. They know that their actions have ramifications for other people; leaders understand that they cannot believe everything they hear or read and learn to tear the truth out of others’ worldviews.
- Ability to determine goals and objectives
- The direction of a group requires knowing what the roadmap should be to guide it. In the absence of precise goals and objectives, the effort may be sterile, and the group may feel frustrated. The objectives must be coherent with the capacity of the group: it is not effective to establish unattainable goals.
- When the objectives have been set, it is essential to draw up a plan to achieve them. This plan must plan all the actions that must be fulfilled, the times, the people who will carry them out, the resources that will be used…
- A good leader must be aware of their virtues and should get the most out of them. Obviously, he is also aware of his weaknesses, and he struggles to try to improve.
