I thought this was interesting… The 2 Most Admirable Qualities in a Leader…

When asked what they look for and admire in a leader and in a colleague, people put:

1. Honesty
2. Forward-Looking

But the second-highest requirement of a leader — that he or she be forward-looking — wasn’t applied to colleagues. 72% of respondents wanted leaders to be forward-looking, but only 27% looked for that trait in a colleague.
