Traits Successful Leaders Possess - Being Positive

Improving leadership skills increases the performance of those you work with and enhances your opportunities (and the opportunities of those you lead) for advancement within a company. As a leadership communications coach I have identified 18 traits successful leaders possess. Over the next few months I would like to discuss a few of these key traits that can help you grow and develop as a leader. Today let’s talk about Being Positive. You set the tone for your environment. An optimistic attitude from a leader can carry over to others. What type of tone are you setting at the office? Is it one of optimism? Or one of pessimism? Confidence is contagious as so is lack of confidence. Remember - Employees mirror the tone that leaders set. Be an encourager. Next time I will talk about Recognition. Do you have any successes or questions about been positive as a leader? Let me know and I will share them with my readers. E-mail Patrick
