The Buy-in: Leadership

People consciously or unconsciously always ask, "why should I follow you?" Leaders must understand that they themselves go on display before they ever get the chance to display their vision. In other words, people peruse and scrutinise your person and personality before they can buy-in into your dreams. Once followers gain confidence in the leaders, they'll feel confident about the vision.

Seven qualities that attract people to a leader are:
1. Calling
2. Insight
3. Charisma
4. Talent
5. Ability
6. Communication skills and
7. Character

Take stock...do your plus or minus. And ask, "do I possess all, some or any of the qualities mentioned above.
