Six traits of effective leaders: 1. Make others feel importa

Summary

This quote suggests that actions have a greater impact on influencing others than logical reasoning alone. Effective leaders possess certain traits that lead others to willingly follow them. By making others feel important, promoting a vision, and treating others with respect (following the golden rule), leaders inspire others to emulate their behavior. Furthermore, admitting mistakes, criticizing privately, and staying engaged in the actions demonstrate authenticity and relatability, making leaders more admirable. In essence, the quote highlights the power of examples and how our natural inclination is to imitate and approximate the qualities we admire in others.
