Leadership: Admired Characteristics

In examining the most admired characteristics followers see in leaders the first four are honesty, forward-looking, inspiration and competency, in that order (Tucker pg 220). These are likely the most important four characteristics because they suggest that the leader will make the correct decisions for the company and the employees. Of these major characteristics the honesty shows that the leader acts on strongly held beliefs and values. The forward-looking characteristic shows a vision for the future of the organization. The inspiration is the vehicle in which a leader communicates his or her vision and the competency shows the knowledge and ability to accomplish communicated goals.
