Create a list of traits of what you expect a great leader to have. You probably named charisma, a strategic vision, experience, a robust education, previous leadership experience, and the list goes on. What you probably did not list was humility. Leaders must possess a large and available supply of humility if they plan to be successful during times of dynamic and critical change.

I think this can also be stated as empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

One I don't see listed often, but I think is highly important, is a sense of humor. Anyone who can't see the humor in a situation from time to time, will be looked upon as an extremely "dry" leader.....and the people in his charge will have trouble relating to him. That's not to say that you should make a joke out of everything, you shouldn't, but if you find those moments when everyone can share a laugh (even if it is at your expense), the atmosphere in your work area will be a positive one.

I am a coach of Facebook groups; and, as such, it is my responsibility to remain as humble as possible.
