Sense of responsibility

A team leader should not use excuses and must take full responsibility not just for themselves but also for the people they are in charge of. In order to do that, you need a strong sense of responsibility.

Ability to see things in a broader context

A good leader cannot have tunnel vision and must be capable of seeing things in a broader context so as to be able to make correct and sustainable decisions.

Resilience

Resilience towards interference from the outside, as well as towards stress, sudden changes and often contradictory requests made of the manager, is a crucial trait of a successful leader.

Ability to adapt to other people

In order to be able to motivate team members sufficiently and communicate effectively with them, the manager must be able to adapt themselves to the conversation style of the other person and get on the same wavelength as them.

Willingness to learn

Being a good leader means constantly working on oneself and being willing to learn on the go.

Acceptance of change

Change is a fact of life that a manager must be able to accept and live with. Fast changes, rapid development and adjustment of old systems form the everyday reality of almost any manager; therefore, a conservative person who prefers the old order at all costs should not become a leader.

Self-reflection

No person can work on themselves and proceed further if they are unable to accept criticism and have no sense of healthy self-reflection.
