5 Unusual Traits of Today’s Successful Leaders

By Steve Malkin

5 Unusual Traits of Today's Top LeadersLeaders today need to do more than run companies or manage people.

They need to inspire people. In our world, where everything is changing so fast, where Millennials are changing the way we think about work and what we expect from our companies and bosses, leaders have to step up their game to foresee changes before they even happen.

They need to find new ways to motivate Millennials and help integrate teams of various ages.

In today’s post will take a look at unusual traits of current top leaders.

1. Inspiration

Leadership is about inspiring your employees, and leaders must be able to motivate people to act.

No matter how good they are at their jobs, employees need someone to look up to, to admire and to be inspired by. The only way for leaders to do that is by keeping close contact with their team. Everyone knows you are busy, but taking the time to talk to your own people, to listen to them, to give advice, and to congratulate them for their achievements pays off more than anything.

Your employees will feel motivated to do an even better job and be more engaged with your company. They know they are being heard, and they know you care about them.

2. Humility

Successful CEOs don’t take themselves too seriously. Many are aware of their own personal limitations and always seek expertise from others around them. They are also humble and approachable. Also, these leaders don’t close themselves in the corner office; they are out there among their people, talking to them.

3. The Ability to Change the Perspective

Today’s leaders have the ability to change their perspective and are not locked in a particular way of thinking. Part of their success means knowing how to identify a certain situation and how to best act. They don’t limit themselves, and they don’t limit the ones around them. They see things differently.

4. “Can Do, Get it Done” Attitude

Achievement is probably the most important factor that motivates employees to strive for success. When employees see their leader has a clear vision and achieves goals on a regular basis, they’re motivated to do better and to be better.

5. Knows their Employees by their Names

Successful leaders know their people by name. They know who they are and what their role is in the organization. Also, many do more than say hello when passing by; they stop and talk to people. These small actions create loyalty and inspire people to be more productive in their jobs.

Wrapping it Up

While some of these traits might seem out of the ordinary for many leaders, it’s proven that having these personality traits can go a long way to making a successful leader.

From showing inspiration to being humble, it takes a perceptive CEO to run a successful company.
