Some of the most influential leaders in my life so far have fostered an environment of open communication, positivity, and support.
What do you think makes a great leader?
Great leaders should always be open to feedback and work with the team. Attached is a funny meme of what NOT to do as a leader.

agree, as a leader you need to be able to take your advice and thus lead by example.
A great leader is able to take initiative to move projects forward and motivate others to do the same. An even greater leader is someone who can observe the situation/environment, listen to others, and motivate them to be leaders as well!
lead by example is the best way to be a successful leader

A good leader empowers, and makes people feel useful each day.
Great leaders: Have great observation skills, asks verses tells, focuses on the BIG picture, energetic and celebrates WINS!
My current real estate broker and mentor has been teaching me about servant leadership, which has been interesting to learn about. Wiki defines it as ‘Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy in which the goal of the leader is to serve. This is different from traditional leadership where the leader’s main focus is the thriving of their company or organization.’ I think this approach helps to define the culture of our small business.
A great leader leads by example. They work the hardest and aren’t afraid to do what it takes to get the job done. I never ask my employees to do something I wouldn’t do or that makes me uncomfortable.
The thing that makes a great leader is the person themselves. Putting themselves into everyone’s position.
Put yourself in their shoes!!!
I’d say communication is key! A good leader will make his her goals known & relay feedback - both positive & negative to help everyone achieve the goals in place. When someone knows exactly what is expected, it makes it easier to achieve.
A great leader is the one who gives the example instead of giving orders
Great leaders need to listen first!
I believe a great leader is one that teaches through action. Someone willing to get in there and do the work. An attitude of “let’s do this” instead of “you do this”. I also think it’s important for a leader to show appreciation to their employees and mentor them to become better at their job.

I think a great leader, leads by example. Not only that but is willing to get in the trenches with employees.
A great leader has the ability to be present for his team members
I think a great leader is someone who listens and values their team members as people. They are willing to help when needed, offer suggestions for improvement, and be a great support.
