RE: [agilemanagement] Traits of Great Leadership

Around here we use “Managing is doing things right. Leading is doing the right things!” Not sure what book it came from…

This isn't quite as flippent as it sounds, David, but one trait of great leaders is that they have followers.

This has made me wonder what the list of traits are that we expect in
great leaders. Donald Trump says that leaders come in all shapes and
sizes and personality types but the one common trait is respect.

Hence, I have

Courage
Respect

on my list.

What else should be there?...
