Humility, perseverance, and emotional intelligence are the prerequisites to learning to lead. Each provides part of the balance necessary to start on our leadership journey. They are not what leadership is but what we need to unlock our potential. While each plays a role, only in combination do we become capable of learning a wide array of leadership skills.
This presentation will look at these three characteristics individually and in combination. We’ll review how we can achieve the day-to-day interplay between all three. We’ll also visit the basics of how to develop each character as well as common traps we all fall into and examples of leaders we’ve all met who suffer from these deficiencies.
