Five “key skills” taken from

Leaders: “The Strategies for

Taking Charge”

-Warren Bennis &  Burt Nanus

the ability to accept people as they are

the capacity to approach relationships and problems in terms of the present rather than the past

the ability to treat people close to you with the same courteous attention that you extend to strangers

the ability to trust others even if the risk seems great

The  ability to do without constant approval and recognition from others.

          What’s most important about these characteristics is that they go beyond what leaders think and believe.  They also reflect what leaders say and do.  Someone with leadership potential who does not behave like a leader will not be perceived as a leader.  People who are perceived as serving themselves, rather than others, are not leaders.
