In a previous blog I talked about bad habits or derailers. Sometimes strengths that are taken to an extreme can actually be weaknesses.
You might have looked at the list of derailers and even recognized traits of some of your company's most successful leaders. So how is it that these leaders can be successful while still having shortcomings?
According to George Hallenbeck, Korn/Ferry International Consultant, there are seven redeeming features that can make up for other negative characteristics. These are:
- Listening
- Approachability
- Boss relationships
- Integrity and trust
- Humor
- Interpersonal savvy
- Understanding others
