High Impact Leaders

6 Important Leadership Skills that Every Executive Needs to Develop


Listen Later

When I first started The Leaders Institute ® folks would ask me, “What do you do?” I would answer with “I teach important leadership skills to executives.” Then I would get a blank stare looking back at me. Sometimes, the person would try to clarify and say something like, “oh, so like time management, right?” Of course, that wasn’t exactly what I was doing.

What I realized was that different people had dramatically different definitions of what leadership skills actually were. (In fact, for clarification, make sure to look at Soft Skills: What Are They?)

So, before I get into the 5 Important Leadership Skills, let me give you my definition of what they are.

Leadership skills are the highest level of soft-skill. These skills are used to inspire others, create a vision for a new path, and develop the skills and confidence of people around you. Basically, leaders create paths where no path existed previously.



If You Are an Executive, Focus on Building These Important Leadership Skills.

To grow as a leader and to build a great team, practice these leadership skills.

  1. Innovation: Leaders Create the New Path.
  2. Collaboration: Get Cooperation from Your Team Members and Other Leaders.
  3. Vision: Have a Clear and Specific Picture of Where You and Your Team Are Going.
  4. Motivation: It Will Get Hard, But Keep Moving Forward.
  5. Creativity: When Those Obstacles Appear, Look for Ways to Move Around Them (or Through Them.)
  6. Inspiration: Lead Your Team to Higher Levels of Creativity as Well.
