What Makes a Good Leader? 3 Telltale Signs

Throughout his career, Ryan McCuskey has developed a strength for project management. 

After working with a multitude of businesses across various industries, he has recognized the underlying importance of leadership in a successful workplace. No matter how well you manage your projects, the team you employ must function as a whole in order to properly carry out the process and make the effort worth it!

1.) Demanding vs. Coaching 

A good leader always takes time to coach their team, and motivate them during the process. Think of it as a coach on any good sports team - they success of the coach lies within he success of the team. A good coach inspires it's players to win the game, not give them an ultimatum. 

2.) Takes Credit vs. Gives Credit 

We've probably all had it happen to us at least once in our lives. We come up with this great idea and we're so overjoyed to share what we come up with and we share it with the team. Someone might hear your idea, and tell it to an even larder group, taking full credit. Yep, it happens.

A good leader will share your idea to a larger group, but make sure every listener knows exactly who came up with such a great idea - you! Whether in writing, online, or in person, a good leader will always give credit where credit is due. 

3.) All for One vs. One for All 

A good leader will always understand the benefit of sharing a piece of the pie with everyone. From highest executives to interns, everyone on a team of business will understand their worth when they have a good leader to inspire their success. Everyone in a company is important, and that should not be taken lightly. A good leader will understand the importance of their employees from all positions of the company.
