When asked to define the ideal leader, many would emphasize --the qualities traditionally associated with leadership - traits such as intelligence, toughness, determination, and vision. Often left off the list are more personal qualities--but they are also essential.
Although a certain degree of analytical and technical skill is a minimum requirement for success, there is a key attribute that distinguishes outstanding performers from those who are merely adequate. Without this, a person can have first-class training, a sharp mind, and an endless supply of good ideas, but still won't be a great leader.
