Recently I made a presentation what I think every successful leader needs for management practice. It’s what I called the 4p’s of successful leadership. Those 4p’s are Performance, Perception, Personality  and Passion.

I found this article because after presenting I was interested in seeing what other people’s opinion are on what qualities should  leaders possess and I thought it would worth sharing.  This article asked 332, 860 professionals-what skills have the greatest impact on a leader’s success in a position the respondent’s currently hold?

What is interesting is number one with 38% said Inspires and motivates. That aligns right with one of my P’s, personality.
