This is the second in a two part series on the Leadership qualities required in work from home careers.
Leadership in a work from home company
Wess Roberts, author of the best selling, Leadership Secrets of Attila The Hun identified the 17 qualities required in a Leader. You home business is essentially a work from home company because you own a business. To be successful you need to be a Leader therefore identifying these qualities and developing any areas where you feel you are weak. In the last post I identified the first eight of these qualities. Below are the remaining nine:
- Timing – This is a crucial Leadership skill, knowing when to act and when not to act. There is no formula for this, this can only be gained through failure. This is why it the top people in work from home careers say they ‘fail their way to the top’.
- Competitiveness – All Leaders must have an intrinsic desire to win. This means winning the important battles as opposed to winning at all costs.
- Accountability – This means accepting responsibility for all failures and successes that occur on ‘your watch’ and avoiding blaming others and external circumstances.
- Self-confidence – This is achieved by being in a business opportunity that trains and supports you to meet the challenges you will face.
- Responsibility – Leadership is about seeing that things which need to be done are done. This is as opposed to getting involved in the detailed running of an associate’s business. You only direct them to resources and support them in their use.
- Credibility – This is about having the intelligence to know where to go for information and advice and be able to pass that information on to others.
- Tenacity – True Leaders persist even through disappointment, deception and even people leaving you. Persistence will see you through to the completion of the most difficult challenges.
- Dependability – Leaders have to be depended upon to do the right thing in all situations. This has a strong link to business ethics.
- Stewardship – This is a caretaker like quality where you encourage others to develop leadership qualities. Once you have enough competent Leaders in your business then you can really reap the benefits of your labour.
