A Leader is "a person who influences a group of people towards the achievement of a goal"
A great leader can emerge from any educational level and background. Some people are born to be leaders, others do not have the skills needed to lead a group of people to the top of a mountain.
Regardless of the task at hand, someone needs to be in control and organise a method that will get the task done in a timely fashion.
Whether a person is a national leader like the President or the leader of a small business, the characteristics that make them a great leader are the same.
Key personality traits that can transform an ordinary person into a successful leader?
1. Honesty : Always be honest with employees or team members.
When it comes to honesty, keeping a certain standard will open the door for everyone in the office to uphold the same values of being open and honest as well.
2. Communication : A true leader must be able to express their vision to others.
The communication of a great leader goes both ways. Listening and understanding others is imperative to making sure the entire team is on the same page.

One way to make sure that others are comfortable talking and sharing their ideas with the team is to encourage an open door policy, where each individual is free to discuss matters that may help the team without the other team members being present.

3. Ability to Delegate : In a team environment, a leader does not have to take on all of the tasks required to complete a project alone.

It is important that a good leader knows the strengths and the weaknesses of each of the members of the team. Utilising these strengths will allow everyone to grow and the team as a whole will flourish. Team members will feel appreciated when they are trusted to do additional tasks, and this will bring up the morale of the team as a whole.
4. Confidence Confidence is a leadership aspect that can keep your team morale and productivity up.
Employees will take cues from the leadership, so anyone in that position must have faith in themselves to be able to handle any situation. People want a leader who knows every solution, or at least one who is confident enough to say that they do not. There is nothing wrong with admitting a lack of knowledge as long as a leader has the confidence they can find the correct information.

5. Commitment: A great leader will show commitment to their brand or cause.

Lead by example and a good work ethic will be formed amongst every one of the team members.
6. Positive Attitude: The energy levels of the workplace start with those who have a leadership role possessing a positive attitude.

A person who is cheerful and positive is often more likely to put forth their best effort, even if it requires them to stay an extra hour or two to complete the project at hand.

7. Intuition: As a leader, daily tasks often become something that can be easily achieved as a team, but what about when new scenarios arise?
