There have been many studies and books written about the leadership characteristics shown by the world’s most effective leaders.  In case you don’t have time to take a training or read a book on leadership, you can still be an effective leader if you genuinely have these four leadership characteristics.

1. You care about people

2. You believe in the people you work with or supervise

3. You are fair

4. You expect excellence

Even if you have the first three characteristics, without the fourth one, you won’t be that effective.

Watch this short video on this leadership excellence.  Have you ever worked for a boss that had all four leadership characteristics?
