There are many great attributes of leaders but, for me, integrity is at the heart of being a good leader. Integrity is seen in honesty, being trustworthy, taking responsibility for one's actions, while being loyal, dependable, transparent, authentic, and above reproach. If one lacks integrity, it is difficult to be seen as someone who is "believable and worthy of our trust" (Northhouse, 2018)]]> 2019-09-14 02:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384045250 jsjlstrand https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384045985 I feel that most people want a leader with integrity because they want someone to trust, someone reliable, and someone who stands in the gap...integrity can empower others and create confidence and belief in a leader's skills.]]> 2019-09-14 02:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384045985 jsjlstrand https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384046442 Having awareness and understanding, with a positive belief and security in one's abilities to succeed; are not prone to second guess oneself.

This trait needs the empowerment of preparedness which creates a sense of competence in the ability to follow-through. If on lacks confidence, it can affect others' view of their ability to be a leader.]]> 2019-09-14 02:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384046442 jsjlstrand https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384046509 Confidence can be interpreted in a couple of ways.
First, it can create that sense of competence that others will appreciate and associate with success, and will view as a leader they want to follow, the view the leader as someone who knows what they are doing.
Or, secondly, peoples' perception of confidence may be met with feelings that the leader is proud or arrogant, thus not approachable by those working under them.]]> 2019-09-14 02:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384046509 jsjlstrand https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384046555 This trait can help or encourage others with "staying the course" and can be an asset in keeping focus on the desired goals, so people won't give up.
On the flip side, a determined leader could be interpreted as stubborn or unyielding as if they are set in their ways and would appear unreasonable to discuss options with.]]> 2019-09-14 02:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384046555 jsjlstrand https://padlet.com/jsjlstrand/lbqnxaq8nqwj/wish/384046570 "Very focused and attentive to tasks. They know where they are going and how they intend to get there." Other words to describe a determined leader include: "initiative, persistence, and drive." This also includes a willingness "to assert themselves, they are proactive,...have the capacity to persevere in the face of obstacles."
