Great Leadership
Great leaders are obsessed with results.
A great leader sees the future and gets there.
If your team is not following, push forward until they catch up; they will be better for it.
Great leaders listen so they can know how to craft their words to drive their agenda.
They prove their credibility by rolling up their sleeves and digging into the work with their team.
They champion the perspective and interests of their team against the pressures of other departments.
A great leader pretends hierarchy does not exist and operates as a peer.
They make firm decisions and ensure that everyone is not only heard but has direct say on each topic.
A great leader is a multi-tasking master, and inspires their team to take on more each day.
A great leader eats, sleeps, and breathes the grind.
They embody 110% effort and vision daily.
Stop asking for permission and go be a great leader.

Actually, great leadership is the ability to read between all the fancy bumper-sticker sayings and platitudes that are too generic to be useful.
Great leadership is thoughtful; the essential skill being critical analysis.
It is not a static thing, it is an ability to respond to the nuance of a situation with clarity; especially on April 1.
