Top 10 Prominent Business Leaders In Asia - 2023
Celebrating Ordinary People with Extraordinary Factors
Rightly said by John C. Maxwell, “if you want to do a few small things right, do them yourself. If you want to do great things and make a big impact, learn to delegate”. This clearly portrays the greatest leaders are not always the ones who do the great things, sometimes they are the people who get and let the right people to create examples for society. However, leadership is often associated with C-suite job titles; it's not so much about their role but their attitude and behavior, and even a much broader concept than this. While great leadership can have a great effect on an organization, poor leadership can be equally damaging.
Common Factor
Great leaders come with great vision and they know how to build, motivate, inspire, nurture, and coach their team towards a common goal. However, the term leadership differs from people to people, but there are several traits that the world’s greatest leaders have in common such as Critical and Strategic Thinking, Integrity, Courage, Confidence, loyalty and the potential to identify and enhance the current caliber of a person.
