I was travelling home a few months ago from a Phoenix company where I was presenting a management-leadership program, and I struck up a conversation with a gentleman sitting next to me on the plane. I asked her if she thought her boss was a good manager throughout the chat, and she answered, "Yes, he is." After some contemplation, I asked him if he believed his boss was a good leader, and he said, "No, he is not." In his thoughts, the man was not alone.
"Less than a third of all executives and executives are considered as great leaders," according to a report by marketing information company TSN. As a result, a substantial number of our staff have lost their jobs. According to studies:
40% of employees believe they have been fired by their employers.
Two-thirds of employees don't see or feel inspired to contribute to their company's aims and objectives.
25% of employees have already begun to "collect salary."
Managers and managers have a strong possibility of distinguishing themselves from their firms' competitors. So, what does it take for a boss to be CHARACTER
People will not stick with someone they don't trust for long. After an examination into a personal relationship with a female manager at the same company, a well-known CEO was recently "fired." "The board found that the facts are unclear from his judgement and will have an impact on his capacity to lead the company... his actions are inconsistent with our code of conduct," the statement reads. To achieve long-term success, leaders must be truthful.
Deemed a "strong leader"?
CARE
"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care," as the old adage goes. "Do you care about me, your colleagues, and Notre Dame?" was the second question Lou Holt asked every player before he was picked to play at Notre Dame, following "Can I Trust You?" If a player joined a team for selfish reasons and did not care enough to put the team's interests first, he did not want that young man on the team.

He also stated that a young man should not want to be a part of the team if he does not believe he can trust the coach and that he does not care about him. Leaders demonstrate that they care about their employees on a personal and professional level.
COMMITMENT
"The victors do what the losers can't do," says a billboard on the gym wall in Clint Eastwood's film Pretty Baby. Leaders are as well. THEY PERFORM ACTIVITIES THAT POOR MANAGERS CANNOT. Sam Walton was, without a question, one of the greatest corporate leaders of our time. What is his first business success rule? DONATE to your company. More than anyone else, I believe in it.

CONFIDENCE
Leaders know where they're heading and demonstrate with their words and actions that they'll get there. They also make you want to join them. They instill self-assurance in you as well. They make you believe in yourself and your team, and they help you imagine yourself as a winner before the event occurs. James stuck cites Ronald Reagan's accomplishments in office in his book Reagan on Leadership, concluding that "Above all, Reagan restored the American faith itself."
