Driven with Integrity
If someone lacks trust on you, they won’t follow you. At best, they’ll abide your orders while looking for the doublecross.
Effective leaders embody integrity. They don’t double-deal with their own team. They always behave ethically.

Good Communicator
One cannot lead if he cannot communicate effectively. Your plans need to be received clearly by your people. Effective leaders understand that not everyone takes information with the same level of comprehension and expertise, so they gear their communication to the level of their listeners to ensure it is not just heard but also understood.

Effective Decision Maker
Good decision-making demands that you recognize the importance of the decision, its impact and give it the appropriate attention. Some small decisions require little attention. Major decisions require most of your attention.
An effective leader should be charismatic and confident. He/she know how to communicate to the team the overview of the tasks, the the plans and the goals. The people should be confident to where the leader is headed to.
