How to be an extraordinary leader by Julie McNeney

What makes a leader great? Is it the willingness to learn and to change? The ability to inspire trust? The capacity to follow, when necessary, or to connect with people? If you answered All of the above, you are right.

Leadership is not about a position, a title or being indispensable—anyone can learn how to lead. But true leaders know they have earned the right to lead. These naturally optimistic people are agents of change. They work to create a climate of openness and trust, believing in the inherent worth of others. They also strive to make a difference in the lives of friends, clients and associates.
