How to become an extraordinary leader 

How to become an extraordinary leader  | Ten skills that employers want | Scoop.it
Here are some thoughts on you might become an extraordinary leader:

Be people-centric. Put people first and trust that the business results will follow. Take the time to create solid relationships with others, while making an effort to know them personally. Finally, you will make great progress when you meet with your team and other stakeholders on a regular basis with an agenda of “How can I help you?” to assure that you are in good standing with the people who matter.

Work on yourself. You are the instrument of your leadership, just like a violin is the instrument of violinists. It takes hard work and practice. Take care of your instrument by doing what it takes to stay mentally and physically healthy. When you become a better listener, team member, employee, and person all of your efforts will carry over into your leadership.

Never rest on your accomplishments. Continue to seek out the next challenge. This is not about “climbing the corporate ladder”; but more about having the drive and desire to take on things that are organizationally beneficial and personally challenging. You will need to conquer your fear, critical inner voices, and sabotaging behaviors to get done what needs to be done.
