Yesterday I posted “10 Ideas in Developing a Leader Recruitment Strategy”.  One of those was to “identify potential leaders”.  It is important to look for the qualities in people that are conducive to good leadership.  Here’s are 11 traits I consider valuable traits. 

1.     Concern/Love for others.

2.     Not a complainer.

3.     Teachable and open to suggestions.

4.     Demonstrates a propensity to lead through an excellence in following. (This is a biggie.)

5.     Reliability.

6.     Interest (In the organization, the system, etc.)

7.     Good character.

8.     Potential.  (God always saw potential in others they themselves couldn’t always see.)

9.     Positive attitude.

10. Confidence.

11. People skills.

Do you have other traits you look for in recruiting leaders?

Tomorrow I will share another strategy for identifying potential leaders. This one is straight from the Bible. (Probably one to consider….dont’ you think? )
