It is said that leadership is an art and cannot be inculcated in someone. Yet studies suggest, certain characteristics business leaders possess which go a long way in developing successful organizations. Communication by leader must always flow from inside to the outside world while frequently questioning himself/ herself. The group of employees who constantly bicker and bring down the group performance must be eliminated early. These leaders put equal focus on the body and mind as they know that performance will be poorer if physical fitness is lacking. Dealings within and outside the firm are done with honesty. Employees are constantly induced to demonstrate their innovativeness.Final execution at each level is encouraged to be performed by lean teams.
