Read a book and this is so right.

Do you know what potential leaders look like? I have yet to find an organization that had all the good leaders it needed. For that reason, good leaders are always on the lookout for potential leaders. If you have done your own research on leadership characteristics, use what you’ve found to create a description of what you’re looking for in potential leaders. If you haven’t, you may want to use one of my lists. This one is taken from my book The 360” Leader. I’ve found that good leaders and potential leaders display the following characteristics:

• Adaptability—Quickly adjust to change

• Discernment—Understands the real issues

• Perspective—Sees beyond their own vantage point

• Communication——Links to all levels of the organization

• Security—Does not find identity in position

• Servanthood—Does whatever it takes

• Resourcefulness Find creative ways to make things happen

• Maturity—Puts the Team Before Self

• Endurance —Remains a consistent in character and competence over the long haul

• Countability—Can be counted on when it counts

If you see people who display most of these characteristics, you are probably looking at people with great leadership potential.
