2. The Top 10 Qualities of a Great Leader

The Top 10 Qualities of a Great Leader


Revised: December 8, 2023

Contrary to popular belief, the best leaders are not born with natural leadership skills. The
strengths of a leader often develop as a result of hard work and a focused effort to hone those
qualities. Good leaders become better when they seek opportunities to test their leadership
skills, solicit feedback, and adapt as needed.

If you want to learn to become an effective leader, you need to be aware of the most critical
leadership skills and take the steps necessary to cultivate those qualities within you.

What Makes a Good Leader?


There is no one set definition of a good leader. One person with exceptional leadership
qualities may differ from another leader, but that doesn't necessarily make one more effective
than the other. The mark of a good leader has earned their team's respect and is willing to
assist with the workload to accomplish the group's goal.

Strong leaders are vital, particularly in an ever-evolving world. From community


organizations and volunteer groups to professional associations and corporations, effective
leaders ensure that people work together cohesively to accomplish their goals.

Know Your Leadership Style

There are several distinct leadership styles, and as you begin to focus on developing your own
leadership qualities, it's important to be aware of which leadership style best suits your
personality and your leadership position. According to IMD, these are the most common
leadership styles:

 Transformational Leadership — If you are a transformational leader, you are likely looking to
inspire your team to become the best version of themselves. Transformational leaders
emphasize change and positive progress.
 Delegative Leadership — If you prefer a more hands-off approach to leadership, you are
likely a delegative leader. Delegative leaders prefer to assign tasks to the team and give them
the space they need to accomplish their goals.
 Authoritative Leadership — Commonly confused as dictatorial or authoritarian, the
authoritative leadership style is actually not as foreboding as it sounds. An authoritative
leader serves as a leader or mentor and encourages their team to follow their example.
 Transactional Leadership — Sometimes referred to as managerial leadership, this leadership
style relies heavily on rewarding positive behavior and punishing those who do not meet the
mark. It is a structural and organized leadership form commonly used in corporate settings.
 Participative Leadership — Participative leadership invites all team members to participate in
management. As a participative leader, you may be apt to include your team members in the
decision-making. You will likely weigh various opinions before you come to a final decision.
 Servant Leadership — Servant leadership focuses heavily on relationship building. If you have
a tendency to put the needs of the group ahead of your own personal preferences or desires,
then you are likely going to identify as a servant leader.

You may find that you do not identify with one particular leadership style but rather, a blend
of several styles. As you combine elements from one leadership style with another, you will
begin to discover who you are as a leader. From there, you can nurture the specific leadership
qualities that will allow you to become an effective and impactful leader.
