Ingredients of a Good Leader

When I think of the best leader I have been around I think of Dean Smith. He was my basketball coach at the University of North Carolina. I strived to be like him when I coached and often fell short. Nevertheless, I continue to try to lead like he led our teams in the early 1980s. He is a great model for any leader of any organization.

Here are some of the ingredients that I believe made Coach Smith special:

Competence

Emotional Intelligence 

Vision

Strategic 

Discipline

Communication 

Senior staff

Accountability 

Toughness

Integrity

Servant

Passion

Loyalty

Evolving

Motivating

Over the course of the next 15 blogs I will break down each ingredient.
