I know, there are countless qualities that make up strong leaders. But what is the number ONE quality on your list? And why?

Hi, Danielle.

There are a few that can be rated as most or supremely important, but it's necessary for a leader to recognize that the continued viability and integrity of everything and everyone in his charge comes before him.

Success belongs to the team, but failure is his to bear and his alone.

Communication, the ability to communicate with the people you lead. Also letting others express their views, opinions and ideas. Lastly you must be fluid knowing what you bring to the table as well.as what you don't. This allows your followers to see empathy in your leadership style. Listening is paramount in leading.

Listening is a great answer. Leaders who don't listen, or don't listen well, can really hurt a team.
