Answer 1

Characterstics of -

Leadership-

1 - Ability to build a solid emotional connection with the team (by telling stories) and inspire them to get out of their comfort zone and do daring things, things that they have not done before

2 - Obviously in order to inspire them - you need to be doing it and showing it - so be the role model, that your team looks up to - this means having a great work ethic, great demeanor, great communication skills, exude tremendous confidence, which means you believe in the end goal without a single doubt, can do attitude, bring positivity to everything you do

3 - Think big, share your larger than life vision, share with them where they fit in your vision & show them they can make it big if they also think big like you along with you being in your team - articulate what is in it for them

4 - Clearly articulate what you need them to do - give them an hour by hour plan on what they need to do for the entire week in a written form in a simple manner - be very very clear and make sure they understand what they need to do thoroughly as well - read their body language, do they give a confused look - then explain again, make sure they understand what you want them to do thoroughly - if you are not able to explain what you need them to do in a simple manner, that means you don't know what you are doing

5 - Just don't ask them to do things, make sure they have all the tools necessary to do the things you are asking them to do

6 - Always keep up your commitment - what you give is what you get, humans mirror and reciprocate, if you keep up your commitment, your team will keep their commitment too - one simple example is reply to their emails ASAP, so you will get replies from them ASAP

7 - Foster a tight connection between the team members building contagious enthusiasm & infectious energy, such that they have each other’s back and produce results such that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts - watch the movie 300 - the 300 Spartans will annihilate hundreds and thousands of the Persian soldiers following 3 tactics

a - They will choose a narrow path where the Persians have to pass through & slay them blocking the entire narrow path - turning the geography into a strategic advantage, even though they were only 300 spartan warriors

b - They will scare the hell out of the Persian army by stacking the corpses from the previous day - create a serious fear them, in turn make them weak and kill them even faster

c - They will fight in a close fashion, so the every other spartan is covering the back of the other spartans
