As an executive recruiter with over twenty years’ experience, I’ve learned to spot the qualities of a good leader. Leadership traits are not one-size-fits-all; in fact, research shows that the best leaders tailor their leadership style to the situation. Some leadership characteristics, however, are consistent across the board. Leaders understand what needs to be done and motivate others to work towards a common goal. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best:
“A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.”

Leadership Vs. Management
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the
right things.
Peter Drucker
“I personally believe Leadership is about the ability to inspire others to achieve shared
objectives. I think that’s what separates leaders from managers.
Managers tell people what to do and leaders inspire them to do it.”
LinkedIn CEO – JeffWarner
The two skill-sets go hand-in-hand. You can’t be very successful at one without
the other.
You can becom.
Everybody can be a leader, but all cannot be effective leaders, as effective leaders have in them extra ingredients that not every leader possesses.
It is also true that everybody is a leader regardless of their hierarchical position, from a pauper to a prince and from a peon to a principal, provided they deliver their best, unmindful of their backgrounds.
