When you mention the world, "leadership" in a business setting, people think of the type of person who motivates and encourages their team of employees to reach the highest levels of success. While that is the ideal scenario to have, the traits that make you a good leader to your employees can vary based on the working environment and the employees' personalities. Being a strong and commanding leader works for those employees who thrive on being told what to do for every step of the process, yet can stifle innovative and creative employees who do their best work when they control their workflow.
Selecting and developing capable and confident leaders has become more critical today than ever before.

Successful leaders all possess three critical traits that have molded them into the professionals they are.
Great leaders all possess a number of important qualities that have made you the professionals you are. From integrity to
trustworthiness, likeability to management style, there are many factors that go into being a successful leader. However, in my time as
a recruiter and manager, I’ve noticed that there are three traits in particular that virtually all leaders possess:
1. Approachability
To connect with employees and teams, leaders must be approachable and be able to form deep, professional relationships with
individuals of any level. Likewise, leaders should also be good listeners, taking the needs of employees into consideration and
demonstrating to them that you truly care about them and their professional development. By recognizing their value and treating them
with respect, you will be able to form better connections, which will lead to success down the road.
2. Vision
Successful leaders must have a clear vision and mission and be able to articulate these to a team. When there is a defined goal(s) to
reach, it’s easier for your employees to take specific steps to reach those objectives. Similarly, you want everyone to rally behind a
common goal to form a sense of camaraderie in order to achieve your business objectives.
3. Humility
Truly great leaders realize that you need your people more than your people need you. Strong managers should be able to drive
results without losing sense of purpose and meaning with your employees. Decisions should be made with consideration to your team
and not in spite of them. If you focus on the people around you who helped you get to where you are, you’ll reach higher levels of
success.
Leaders and managers constantly strive for greatness, and while there is always room for improvement, I’ve seen that these three
qualities are staples in the personality of a successful leader.
