What is the main job of a leader?

To be there for your team. If you put short-term gains and profits first, this is not a viable strategy - you should approach leadership with an infinite mindset.

What are the traits of a great leader?

  • She creates a (physically and psychologically) safe environment for her team.
  • A great leader doesn’t manage solely based on numbers. He communicates openly with his team and considers their opinions when making decisions.
  • She makes time for employees. It’s not just about having a brief small talk here and there - it is more about really taking the time, engaging in deeper discussions, and discussing their obstacles openly.
  • A great leader creates a culture of collaboration.
