Dissecting Greatness

My Ranking of the Traits That Set Exceptional Leaders Apart

Dear Readers,

Leadership is an art refined by the qualities we choose to cultivate within ourselves. In this edition of "The Leadership Lighthouse," I take a contrarian approach to dissecting the anatomy of leadership greatness, ranking the traits I believe are most crucial in setting exceptional leaders apart. This personal ranking is based on my experiences and observations, particularly in the dynamic world of technology, where change is the only constant.

1. Integrity

At the pinnacle of leadership traits, I place integrity, for trust is the bedrock upon which successful leadership and organizational achievements are built. Without integrity, the foundation crumbles, and with it, the potential for true greatness.
