Leaders value individuality and independent thought in themselves and others. They challenge assumptions and conventional wisdom by fostering a culture of intellectual curiosity and being open-minded, adaptable, and innovative to achieve their objectives.

Leaders see problems as opportunities to explore the issue, resolve what isn't working and focus on purposeful, positive changes. They also seek diverse perspectives to inform decision-making and emphasize improvement and quick wins.

#3 Be Self-Aware

Leaders deeply understand their strengths, weaknesses, values, and emotions. They can recognize their biases and limitations and are willing to learn and grow from feedback and criticism. And when challenged, uses self-regulation techniques to change emotional triggers quickly.

#4 Be Influential

Leaders can inspire and motivate others to take action toward a common goal. They also encourage others to be in their power and evolve as conscious, caring leaders by focusing on their strengths, aspirations, and resources to drive change and achieve significant results.
