• Some of the best leadership attributes are talents; things you’re born with, such as the ability to communicate effectively.
• Surround yourself with great leaders and observe how they do things.
• Some people need to be encouraged while others need a little more kick in the rear.
• When you reach a certain level of maturity in your leadership potential, you become good at spotting leadership talents.
• There are different levels of experience when it comes to leadership.
• Leaders find talent, recruit talent and integrate talent.
• The best leaders know how to activate the talent, passion and skill of their teams; you have to be able to see it first.
