What does it mean to be a leader? In this episode, we explore the four key traits of leadership, as a follow-up to our last episode with Ruth Smith. Those key traits are experience, willingness to do hard things, lifelong learning, and mentorship. Listen to the episode to learn how to apply these principles to your own life and business.
Key takeaways:
- Leadership requires experience, but it doesn’t have to be 30+ years of experience. Your own life experiences can contribute to your leadership qualities.
- Being willing to do hard things is a necessary component of leadership. It is part of guiding others and stepping up as a leader.
- Committing to lifelong learning and being open to pivoting and changing paths are important traits of a leader.
- Mentorship is a crucial aspect of leadership. Stepping up and being a source of inspiration, guidance, and direction for others is a key responsibility of a leader.
