Someone who adapts. To lead, you have to anticipate the future and prepare your people for that change. Get them excited, motivated, and ready. And leap for the right opportunities.

The ability to really listen. Every manager that I haven't liked was an awful listener. They made assumptions, thought they knew everything, and didn't listen to their team.

I would put foresight at the top of the list. The ability to think long-term. Good communication would be second on my list.

This is an excellent one!

I believe the ability to be creative and have good decision making skills are essential to be a great leader. Too add on, good communication skills to motivate their workers is truly makes a person a leader.

Good communication skills tops my list. They need to effectively communicate in an assertive way. The ability to adapt and accept different working styles - everyone is different and approaches things in their own way. A leader should encourage and support someone's style and help staff to develop to their full potential.

Above all, I think empathy. A great leader knows how to be understanding and compassionate toward their direct reports. It builds a great relationship between the two.

I think I have a creative approach to problem solving. My team trusts me because they know that they can come to me for solutions.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
