Who should rule by Eduardo Bellani

If you want to become a (better) leader, you should master the four essential characteristics for leaders: integrity, judgment, competence, and vision(Hogan and Kaiser 2005):

  1. Integrity. A leader must be trusted to be followed.
  2. Decisiveness. Making reasonable decisions in a timely manner.
  3. Competence. Both your followers and your stakeholders must know that you not only mean well but that you can deliver.
  4. Vision. Setting goals under the right strategy is vital for team and company success against its competition.
