What Qualities Make a Great Leader?

What Qualities Make a Great Leader?

We've all had our share of good and bad bosses, but what made us like or dislike them? While our personal opinions take a share of the credit, consistent qualities tend to crop up when we look at good management. What do you think makes a great leader?

Famous advertising executive David Ogilvy offers up an interesting list:

01. High standards of personal ethics.
02. Big people, without pettiness.
03. Guts under pressure, resilience in defeat.
04. Brilliant brains ? not safe plodders.
05. A capacity for hard work and midnight oil.
06. Charisma ? charm and persuasiveness.
07. A streak of unorthodoxy ? creative innovators.
08. The courage to make tough decisions.
09. Inspiring enthusiasts ? with trust and gusto.
10. A sense of humor.

What's on yours?
