Good leaders are people-centric. They may be scientists, engineers
or technical experts by background, but they recognize
interpersonal skills are paramount. They display high degrees of
emotional intelligence, and thrive on finesse and
likeability.
They want to be liked -- and they are. Again, the key is what's
inside the leader. Likeability comes from the inside out.
Ethical.
Good leaders are direct and straightforward. They set clear
performance expectations and hold people accountable. This requires
being direct and truthful, which can be difficult but -- more often
than not -- is natural for the principle-based leader. Good leaders
know it's hard to beat the truth.
Open to feedback.
Good leaders are open and dedicated to lifelong learning. They seek
feedback about their performance through direct conversations and
objective tools such as 360-degree reviews. Seeking continuous
improvement in their companies, they also seek it for
themselves.
