Attributes-leadership

 Here are quotes about six key attributes of Leaders Peter F Drucker described

1. “They did not start out with the question, ‘What do I want?’ They started out asking, ‘What needs to be done?’”

2. “Then they asked, ‘What can and should I do to make a difference?’ This has to be something that both needs to be done and fits the leader’s strengths and the way she or he is most effective.”

3. “They constantly asked, ‘What are the organization’s mission and goals? What constitutes performance and results in this organization?’”

4. “They were extremely tolerant of diversity in people and did not look for carbon copies of themselves. It rarely even occurred to them to ask, ‘Do I like or dislike this person?’ But they were totally—fiendishly—intolerant when it came to a person’s performance, standards and values.”

5. “They were not afraid of strength in their associates. They gloried in it. Whether they had heard of it or not, their motto was what Andrew Carnegie wanted to have put on his tombstone: ‘Here lies a man who attracted better people into his service than he was himself.’”

6. “One way or another, they submitted themselves to the ‘mirror test’—that is, they made sure that the person they saw in the mirror in the morning was the kind of person they wanted to be, respect and believe in. This way they fortified themselves against the leader’s greatest temptations—to do things that are popular rather than right and to do petty, mean, sleazy things.”

Popularity is not leadership—great results are.
