10 Mandatory Traits For The Leader Of A Highly Productive Company

You can’t have a successful company with a weak leader.

Business is a battleground. Battles are won by the leader’s direction, who has high standards, high values, and high execution.

These are the traits of a successful leader:

1. High attention to detail: a leader systematically determines what’s most important for the company. When an important metric is off, they relentlessly focus on it until it’s fixed.

2. Embraces simplicity: leaders execute a simple business proposition and live a relatively modest life.

3. Disdain for waste: Spending money doesn’t make you productive and successful. It’s the art of how you spend time and money. Great leaders hate waste.

4. Long-term focus: productive companies continually ask themselves, what’s the good long-term business reason for doing this?

5. High moral code: great leaders are courageously honest.

6. Head coach: leaders view themselves as a teacher. They set the standard, embody the values, and share insights and lessons with everyone.

7. Humility: being humble starts at the top. Productive companies are built upon the collaboration of everyone, and they don’t tolerate egomaniacs.
