19、d leader needs to have many qualities, in my opinion there are 10 qualities, which are the most important. The most important quality of a leader is to lead. This may sound simple but in reality many people in leadership positions fail to lead. The world is constantly changing and any business needs
20、 to move with the times or risk losing ground. To lead means to make difficult decisions. These decisions include setting your own agenda for the organisation such as determining its core values and setting its strategic direction. Other decisions also include making tough decisions on professional,
21、 business and personnel matters. No leader makes the right decision every time but a good leader is not afraid to make decisions because he is not afraid to reverse his decision and take remedial action where necessary. A bad leader is one who shies away from making decisions and simply wait for thi
22、ngs to happen. Secondly, a leader is expected to set the strategy for the organisation. How does a good leader choose the right strategy for his organisation? A good leader must develop a thorough analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the organisation. He must evaluate
23、carefully the pros and cons of each alternative strategy. He should also consider the short-term as well as the long-term impact of each option.

24、leader is to be able to communicate internally and externally. He must maintain a high level of visibility.

31、career options you think youd really enjoy, not just the ones you think you can do. Dont limit your thinking at this stage If you really want to be a polar explorer, or start your own jewellery business, put them on the list. Then research how others changed into these careers. Dont claim to have de
32、grees or experience you dont. Remember that many organisations check references. Any inconsistencies could lead to an employer rescinding a Job offer.

33、 Are you an idea person? Do you have the gift of the gab? Are you good at explaining things to others?

If you can afford it, consider asking a CV-writing agency to help you, but only one that comes recommended by someone in your network. As always, theres a bell curve of skill and you can spend a lo

The speaker says that he once assumed the girl who greeted him and asked if he wanted a coffee was a secretary but when she sat down and started the interview he realised she was th
39、e boss. It taught me a lot. Man: Put yourself in the shoes of each recruiter and make sure youve emphasised the bits theyll be most interested in. Dont use jargon they wont understand and if your former employers arent well-known, explain briefly the nature of each, before detailing what you did the
40、re. Consider a video CV if you are in a technical field, but be careful, its easy to do this very badly. Produce a 30-second, a 90-second and a five-minute piece for your channel.

46、ootball coach of an American football team once said, “Expect a lot of your people. Theyll usually meet it.“ And quite frankly, I think one of the things that maybe some people dont do is they dont set expectations high enough. They dont encourage people to come forward and perform at the level that
47、 they could be capable of if you made it clear what their performance levels should be.
