Class,After viewing the ILT survey, I would say that if I had to pick three characteristics of an ideal leader they would be: educated, open-minded, and collaborative. When I think of the word “educated” I think beyond someones actual level of schooling. I think about their experience and perspectives.
Perhaps this is why every job I want to apply to requires a certain number of years experience instead of a degree. I think that our strongest leaders have faced and overcome many levels of hardship that contribute to their education in leadership.
I also think that being open-minded is important because sometimes, a leader can be wrong and it takes a different perspective or idea for the leader to recognize that. Collaboration is part of what a leader has to do while synthesizing and processing new ideas in an effective way.
