Top six traits in confident leaders

In order to lead, people have to be confident of you and your abilities. What does it take for people to be confident in your leadership?  According to the Harvard Kennedy School of Public Leadership, there are six top traits.

• Trust in what you say ( no surprises)
  
• Competence to do the job (I'm good at what I do)
  
• Working for the greater good (they don't doubt your motives)
• Shared values ( we value the same things)
• Get good results ( I get things done)
• In touch with people's needs and concerns ( I listen)

These are good things to think about as we go through strategic planning...since we want our organization to be seen as a leader.
