Listening

There are many good speakers out there but what the workplace might need is a good listener. This kind of leader knows when and where to share ideas and opinions. They also give others the opportunity to share their knowledge. In times of conflict, understanding conflicting points of view can help in forming resolutions.




Networking

Leaders should have the ability to connect with others on a professional level. While some people have the charisma of natural networkers, others can develop this skill by socializing and learning more about the business. As a veteran business coach, Emile Haddad believes that knowing who to approach and what to discuss are also part of good networking skills.

Time management

Those who will eventually assume leadership positions will have to handle a lot of responsibilities. Mastering one’s time means allocating enough time to accomplish tasks and even to check up on others. Knowing where and how to spend their time is the main factor in a leader’s efficiency.
