1、Strategic Vision: Real leaders need to have foresight and vision, to see the big picture while clearly setting and articulating future goals.
2、Interpersonal Skills: Leaders need to have high-level social skills, including the ability to effectively communicate, understand and respect others, resolve conflicts, and motivate others.
3、Decision-Making Ability: Leaders should be able to make wise decisions under pressure and have the courage and capability to bear the consequences.
4、Team-Building Capability: Leaders need to establish and maintain an efficient, cooperative team, and can identify and cultivate the potential of others.
5、Adaptability and Flexibility: The world is rapidly changing; a good leader needs the ability to adapt to new situations and challenges.
6、Morality and Integrity: Leaders need to have a strong sense of moral responsibility and integrity to gain the trust and respect of others.
