As I am currently learning a lot about leadership, I decided that it would make a good blog post. There are nine characteristics that an effective leader should have and they are: "leads by example, good motivator, good communication, supports team members, stands up to top management, decisive, visionary, encourages new ideas, and technically competent." (Pinto, p. 123). In which order would you rank the nine characteristics of effective leadership. Would you consider yourself a leader based on those characteristics? I cannot see myself as a leader, but others may very well disagree with me on that.
