The latest PM Podcast is an interview with Shyam Ramanathan who discusses some of the leadership traits explored in his article '27 Traits of Strong Leaders in Times of Crisis and Turbulence'
The article is a comprehensive and perceptive list, which would prove useful for stimulating any debate on this topic.
During the podcast, the interviewer Cornelius Fichtner focuses on possibly his favourites, namely:
- Leaders are visionaries
- Leaders grow other leaders
- Leaders are generalists
- Leaders are brutally honest
- Leaders are quitters (yes really - read the article to understand why this is included.)
- Leaders are continuous learners
- Leaders are high on self-care
Shyam in his summary states the emphasis of the traits will vary depending upon current conditions, and individual situations, however in his opinion the most critical are always :
Leadership is having a big vision, inspiring others and leading by example.
