Outstanding Leaders Have a Certain Capacity, Here's Some Characteristics:

Leading and managing are two different things...yes. Leading is quite a challenge, however. Versus managing, leading has more to do with how the team functions from the inside out. Managing however, has to do with how the team functions overall. See the difference? Let me explain...

You see leaders are all about leading people to a certain point. It requires progress from start to finish. Management is more like managing progress. When you're a leader, you're required to get people to a certain point. Management, there are no specific requirements.


So, business leaders and managers, there are differences. Now, leaders have much more weight on their shoulders to make a difference, so they need the proper equipment (character), in order to do a good duty.

Many leaders lead with trustworthiness, which is most common. Having a good trust between the entire team has a great effect on overall progress. People feel like they belong and they've made an important difference.

Moving along, being inspirational and sincere are also parts of it. Many bad leaders tend to focus on being accepted by their team, worry about their expertise, or are very selfish. It takes courage also to lead a team to success. Many bad leaders are cowardly.

Humility is also key. If you're walking around, as a leader, as if you're some hotshot visionary, then progress won't occur. People stay awake for hours at night worrying about their importance or acceptance, instead of getting good rest and being able to keep up with the responsibilities at work.

If sincerity is one of your aims, then stop the act and/or being pompous, and start making a difference in people's lives. Let them be just as sincere and courageous as you, so progress can move forward a lot more.

If this is done, your team will be led to success a lot quicker. Best of luck!
