2 Most Admirable Qualities in a Leader


I thought this was interesting... The 2 Most Admirable Qualities in a Leader...

When asked what they look for and admire in a leader and in a colleague, people put:
  1. Honesty
  2. Forward-Looking
But the second-highest requirement of a leader -- that he or she be forward-looking -- wasn't applied to colleagues. 72% of respondents wanted leaders to be forward-looking, but only 27% looked for that trait in a colleague.
