  1. CHARACTERISTICS OF LEADERS

  2. JUDGMENT • Definition - The ability to weigh facts and possible courses of action in order to make sound decisions.

  3. JUSTICE • Definition - Giving reward and punishment according to the merits of the case in question. The ability to administer a system of rewards and punishments impartially and consistently.

  4. DECISIVENESS • Definition - Ability to make decisions promptly and to announce them in a clear, forceful manner.

  5. INITIATIVE • Definition - Taking action in the absence of orders. “You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place . . .” — Ken Kesey

  6. DEPENDABILITY • Definition - The certainty of proper performance of duty.

  7. TACT • Definition - The ability to deal with others without creating hostility.

  8. INTEGRITY • Definition - Uprightness of character and soundness of moral principles. The quality of truthfulness and honesty. "I think leadership comes from integrity—that you do whatever you ask others to do. I think there are non-obvious ways to lead. Just by providing a good example as a parent, a friend, a neighbor makes it possible for other people to see better ways to do things. Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity." — Scott Berkun

  9. ENDURANCE • Definition - The mental and physical stamina measured by the ability to withstand pain, fatigue, stress, and hardship. Never, never, never give up. --Winston Churchill

  10. BEARING • Definition - Creating a favorable impression in carriage, appearance, and personal conduct at all times.

  11. UNSELFISHNESS • Definition - Avoidance of providing for one's own comfort and personal advancement at the expense of others. "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." — Jack Welch

  12. COURAGE • Definition - Courage is a mental quality that recognizes fear of danger or criticism, but enables a leader to proceed in the face of it with calmness and firmness. "In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now." — Wangari Maathai

  13. KNOWLEDGE • Definition - Understanding of a science or an art. The range of one's information, including professional knowledge and an understanding of those you lead. "Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand." — General Colin Powell
