Mental resilience
As a LinkedIn Pulse article states, resilience towards stress and pressure from all sides is one of the key requirements for a candidate aiming at any management position. You must therefore show you are someone who does not collapse in the face of stressful challenges.
Belief in the product
An employee at any management level within a company cannot be cynical about the product the company is offering and they must truly believe in it. Only then can this potential leader communicate such a vision to colleagues, team members, customers and business partners.
Communication skills
Without the ability to communicate in an effective, trouble-free and prompt manner, the candidate cannot succeed in the given position. Perfect your communication skills and try to learn to communicate with anyone you are talking to.
Empathy and tolerance
A good manager must be tolerant, especially towards differences among subordinates. Many managers try to change team members to fit their own image and move them closer to their own ideal. But the best managers can work effectively with people and above all support their diverse talents and individual, positive differences.
Loyalty towards company management
A good manager must be not only authoritative but also at the same time able to respect higher authority. Senior management does not want overly confident, egoistic people as team leaders; on the contrary, the given person must be able to suppress their emotions and opinions, and function according to the wishes and priorities of management. This is why you must show a certain loyalty towards the senior management of your company.
