Successful leadership always translates to a successful business. Being able to step up and lead your company towards success is an essential element in today’s ever more competitive world. But as most of us know, successful leadership is all about character. One can even go as far as saying that character is even more important than the actions themselves. And you can develop the necessary qualities that will be a determining factor of success.

No one is born with a specific set of skills or behaviors. You can learn them over time and can even change yourself 180 degrees. Through neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to change its physical structure — anyone can develop any skill.

The key to achieving new skills, however, depends on how much time you spend thinking about and using them on a day-to-day basis. In a scenario that can only be described as fake it ’till you make it, so can you develop a set of seven qualities that define successful leadership.

The Seven Qualities of Successful Leadership

As you can imagine, there are more than seven qualities that translate into success. Nevertheless, the ones presented here are the ones that have consistently reappeared across most successful business leaders. You can learn all of these traits with time, practice, and repetition.

1. Vision

Great leaders always have a clear view. It’s as if these people can always predict the future. And the reason for this is because they know where they need to go. Just like a captain guiding his ship across the ocean and to the intended port, so does a great leader guide his company toward success.

2. Integrity

People of integrity almost always seem to have things going for them. The reason for this is that at the heart of integrity lies truthfulness. And a person who always tells the truth will build and maintain better relationships. They will also gain more trust from others, which is still something that leads to success.

3. Courage

Contrary to popular belief, courage is not an absence of fear but acting despite its existence. Concerning, successful leadership, the taking of calculated risks is a sign of courage. Having responsibility for one’s actions is also a sign of courage.

4. Foresight

Good leadership also implies vision, or the ability to see patterns today, decipher them, and anticipate with a fair degree of accuracy where they will lead in the future.

5. Humility

Great leaders are always humble. Important leaders also possess enough self-confidence to know that there is still room for improvement, while also recognizing the value in others.

6. Cooperation

Successful leadership also implies the ability to work with others. It is up to the leader whether he or she can pull together and coordinate everyone to work towards the same goal.

7. Focus

Leaders need to know where to focus their time, energy, and resources. Leaders will, thus, have to focus on their results and strengths, and those of their employees, if they hope ever to be successful.
