The essential skills and characteristics of a top leader are:
1. Have the courage to use judgment.
Business rules never substitute for judgment, and business decisions are almost never black and white. Ninety-five percent of business decisions require qualitative assessment.
2. Prioritize how you spend your time.
Great leaders understand that time is an investment, not an expense. Combining their skills with the proper allocation of their time, on the right priorities, is critical for leadership success.
3. Build strong teams.
A leader should have high standards for hiring employees--then the leader should grow their talent by teaching them how to fish, not by feeding them.

A leader must identify himself with the group, must back up the group, even at the risk of displeasing superiors. He must believe that the group wants from him a sense of approval. If this feeling prevails, production, discipline, morale will be high, and in return, you can demand the cooperation to promote the goals of the company.

General MacArthur was a brilliant strategist and a farsighted administrator. He developed a list of questions to guide him in his leadership duties. The principles in these questions can be applied to any leadership situation.
Do I heckle my subordinates or strengthen and encourage them?
Do I use moral courage in getting rid of subordinates who have proven themselves beyond doubt to be unfit?
Have I done all in my power by encouragement, incentive and spur to salvage the weak and erring?
Do I know by NAME and CHARACTER a maximum number of subordinates for whom I am responsible?
Do I know them intimately?
Am I thoroughly familiar with the technique, necessities, objectives and administration of my job?
Do I lose my temper at individuals?
Do I act in such a way as to make my subordinates WANT to follow me?
Do I delegate tasks that should be mine?
Do I arrogate everything to myself and delegate nothing?
Do I develop my subordinates by placing on each one as much responsibility as he can stand?
Am I interested in the personal welfare of each of my subordinates, as if he were a member of my family?
Have I the calmness of voice and manner to inspire confidence, or am I inclined to irascibility and excitability?
Am I a constant example to my subordinates in character, dress, deportment and courtesy?
Am I inclined to be nice to my superiors and mean to my subordinates?
Is my door open to my subordinates?
Do I think more of POSITION than JOB?
Do I correct a subordinate in front of others?
