What traits do leaders possess?
Visible - Leaders appear more approachable and available to workers by circulating around the workplace and take advantage of every opportunity to interact with co-workers. They are also supportive of others and try to help out with the little things.
Consistent - Leaders do not flip-flop between styles confuses employees and stick with one style of leadership so that the employees will know what to expect on a daily basis. They also make decisions consistently and not bring personal feelings to the workplace.
Positive - Leaders set the tone for your environment. An optimistic attitude from a leader can carry over to others. Leaders mirror the tone that leaders set. Be an encourager.
Responsible - Leaders accept challenges as well as successes. If an employee makes a mistake, leaders help him or her improve. They think of themselves as "we," not "I." It is a leader's responsibility to ensure that everyone shares in the team's success.
Listen - The most important characteristic of a leader is being a good listener. Leaders focus on the needs of employees. Leaders also make sure they show people they are willing to listen to what employees have to say
