While the concepts certainly aren’t new, it always seem to find simple reminders of powerful concepts to be interesting and valuable.
Mr. Farrington lists the six most essential qualities as:
- Enthusiasm
- Courage
- Self Confidence
- Integrity
- Interest
- Humor
“A leader keeps promises. They keep their promises to their associates as meticulously as those made to their superiors. They keep promises made to themselves, which are the hardest to keep and failure in this is the easiest to rationalise. They can keep all these promises because they never commit themselves rashly; but always within the limits of reality and their present capabilities in terms of personal ability. Part of this matter of integrity is certainly, unquestioned loyalty to their organisation - to its reputation as well as their own. Also they must have loyalty to their products and to their associates and loyalty to their industry.”If you have any alternate ideas on leadership, post a comment and let me know.

I’d pick “Enthusiasm” as the quality I value the most. A good leader must be enthusiastic and passionate about his work all the time. He must remain positive and determined to make things work out perfectly even against all odds. A leader’s job is to inspire and bring out the best in his followers. If a good leader holds on to this quality, then he would definitely come a long way, and so will his followers.
