Leadership Attributes
 


Number 1: Composure –The Power of Keeping Your Head

"If you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you..."


Composure – the ability to keep one’s head – is one of the most important and challenging leadership attributes. George Washington demonstrated this attribute during the early years of the American Revolution.  His ability to maintain composure and control after a series of military defeats during the New York Campaign of 1776 was critical to the ultimate American victory. 

Composure requires a leader to be proficient at several key skills:

1.      Accepting responsibility and taking control,

2.      Responding decisively

3.      Remaining visible

4.      Projecting a positive attitude.
