Only the attitudes of highly successful people will prevail in the world, inheriting their wise quotes, extraordinary thoughts, excellent actions and, above all, the power of their successful leadership. Let’s take a look at these attitudes of successful leadership:
- Successful leadership allows the generation of contributions, ideas, and suggestions from the work team. It aims to detect with anticipation continuous improvements in every process, detect, analyze and make decisions about problems that may arise. It orients strategies to creative thought for the development of new processes, systems and the development of products and services (innovation).
- Successful leadership allows making decisions by intuition. Great leaders, with the experience with which they have trained themselves, develop their perception to guide the company with correct decisions.
- Successful leadership allows the creation of an extraordinary communication, from the highest ranks to the lowest ones within the organization. Leaders are very clear about the goals that they must and should reach. This is why they communicate properly to their entire work team what they want from each one of them and as a group.
- Successful leadership allows the development of talent and power of the leadership that each one of his team members has: managers, executives, coordinators, heads of department, and so on. These leaders challenge, with respect and humility, the thoughts, attitudes and skills of their workmates to develop the aforementioned aspects, keeping them alert and driving them away from the comfort zone.
- Successful leadership allows the high executives to open up to manage their responsibilities, even sharing with their work team the commitments they’ve made and should meet with ethics, quality and efficiency.

- Set an example: Successful leadership shows that there should be coherence between what you think and what you do. The true leaders set an example of how things should be done, while their work team pays full attention to analyzing each one of the steps that their leaders take in order to get them not just to do the same, but to improve it, and even innovate in their procedures and strategies. This is true teamwork.
- Analyze, manage, measure and reward your team: Successful leadership consists in being 100% alert of each one of the responsibilities and activities of your work team. Analyze and measure their results, attitudes, and skills. Reward their productivity and efficiency economically and morally, acknowledging their optimism, quality, loyalty, ethics and passion in front of the entire organization, which makes possible an excellent work environment and goal achievement.
- Communication, information, and feedback: Successful leaders communicate adequately each message in every level of the organization. They are very clear about the fact that communicating messages doesn’t end only when the receiver understands what they have been told, but when they give feedback about the message to confirm, ask, and reiterate the information given by the emitter. Successful leaders are moving the information continuously with other leaders of their organization.
- Applied situational leadership: Successful leaders know their talent and how to use it. This means that they know what they have. They are experts in the handling and development of the talents and skills of their work team. They apply situational leadership according to experiences, attitudes, and skills of each member of their team. They have the service and responsibility of developing the talent of their people. Successful leaders train the next generations of successful leadership.
- Curiosity and advice: Many people think that a leader is a person who knows it all. A successful leader is curious, they don’t leave any questions to themselves. They ask over and over again until they are 100% convinced of whatever it is they were doubting in the first place. A leader is also human, not a knowledge machine, this means that they also find themselves in situations of frustration, nerves and even fear, but for thisProblem-solvingthey recur to actively listening to the advice of other leaders, family, best friends, work team and other social groups. A leader is not afraid of asking questions, they are curious.
- Problem-solving: they don’t leave for tomorrow what they should do… yesterday. You read it right! Successful leaders solve problems as they happen, they don’t let them grow and let other people solve them. Leaders act at the moment.
- They have an optimistic attitude: Successful leaders create a culture and work environment that is positive, motivating and inspiring. They’re experts in orienting strategies to their work team for them to perform their tasks with lots of passion, responsibility, motivation, and quality.
- They are excellent mentors: successful leadership consists in developing the talents and skills of their work team. They teach their people to manage and operate with continuous improvements and productivity their responsibilities, by means of the development of their talents and skills. They are true masters.
