Systematic approach and organisation of work
As The Muse states, a good manager plans thoroughly; moreover, they schedule sessions in which they plan systems and strategies for their future work.
Listening skills
Leading others is an interactive process. Without the ability to listen to other people and a willingness genuinely to think about what they say, you can never become a good leader.
Helping others
Another key personal trait is a willingness and ability to help others, give advice and act as a mentor (in a positive sense). Your behaviour should clearly show your interest in bringing out the best in others.
Adaptability
A leader knows that every person is an individual, and treats them as such. Through their behaviour a leader inspires, but at the same time they are able to talk to different people in a way that suits them.
Willingness to delegate work
Leaders cannot do everything on their own; they should also allow other people a certain level of autonomy and trust. You have to know the strong points of individual workers and give them your full support.
