ABILITY TO DELEGATE TASKS
The quality to fully delegate is one of the most important things that a leader should do. It is critical to delegate both authority and responsibility and then stay out of the way. Presumably the organization has hired truly professional and expert staff that has been trained to do the things that you don’t have the time to do and always be available when they need guidance. The Law of Leadership states that leadership is the exercise of power to execute responsibility. As an equation, Leadership = Power x Responsibility. Leaders with much power but little responsibility are narcissistic tyrants. Leaders with little power but much responsibility are impotent martyrs. Superior leaders have an equal balance and high degree of both qualities.

COMMUNICATION
They should be able to communicate a clear vision for what constitutes success and help the members of their organization understand specifically how they can contribute to that vision.

Listening
The quality of listening is the most important part of all. Listen, Listen and then once again listen. Half the problem gets solved when the problem has been understood when you have listened effectively. Leave a few things unsaid. I may know an answer, but I'll often let the team find its own way. Sometimes, being an active listener is much more effective than ending a meeting with me enumerating 17 actions. We all know what it is like to have a conversation with someone who is not listening (Kouzes & Posner, 1995, 18-22). All of us are guilty of it--our eyes may be wandering, we may be thinking of what we need to do next, we may be thinking of what to say next, we may be looking at our watch, we may even continue working, and we’re doing everything but... listening! The next time you have a conversation with someone, be conscious of your actions, listen, and you'll find yourself enjoying and learning from the people with whom you associate. A leader must be able to listen as well as speak and write (Barry, 2004).

MOTIVATION
The ability to motivate is an essential tool for all leaders to have in their toolbox. It is not always easy to motivate others, especially if they do not enjoy their job or position, or if YOU do not enjoy your job. However, a good leader with a positive attitude and a vision can motivate anyone. There could be many techniques in for motivation but the most important are the three that are mentioned below:
1. Employees must be included in all parts of the process, every step of the way. Teamwork is the key here, not hierarchy.
2. People must be treated as individuals. Always acknowledge their importance and show them respect. They're people first, employees second.
3. Superior work must be encouraged, recognized, and rewarded. Everyone responds to expectations. If you treat people as if they are capable and smart--and get out of the way--that's exactly how they'll perform. Motivation can never be forced. People have to want to do a good job (Mason et al, 1995).

Willingness To Take Risks
Think what life would be like if you never took risks. Wouldn't life be dull? Likewise, think what kind of leader you would be and the environment you would create if you never took risks? If a leader is afraid to take new steps & risks the opportunities for improvement and advancement is all lost. Another way of looking at risk is to be creative. Whether you are learning a new sport, trying a different medicine, driving a new car, or meeting someone for a date, doing something new for the first time may bring apprehension, excitement and fear.
