Leadership attributes are characteristics shared by all successful leaders, from executives in the C-suite to team leaders on the sales floor. Leadership traits are a set of principles and ideas that can be adopted by anyone. Most leaders did not become so because they were born with natural leadership abilities. It is not always easy to become a leader. One must be willing to embrace a growth mentality, work on your deficiencies, and challenge yourself on a daily basis. You must be willing to try your hardest, fail, and then try again.
