Three leader traits 💪 Today at Boardman Grow event Jussi Kallasvuo shared his three must-have skills for any startup founder. Although, I’d see them applicable to any business leader no matter the company size: 1. Get sh*t done 2. Charisma 3. Grit In my opinion, the last one might be easily confused with hyper hustling. So, I prefer Aslak’s approach in his book Black Belt Leadership: Gentle Power (Yes, I misquoted it in the video 🙈) What are your must-have leadership traits? #B2BMarketingJournal #b2bmarketing #leadership #marketing
Always very nice meeting you at Boardman's events!
Love those three traits of a leader! And thanks for mentioning me and my book ‘the Black Belt in Leadership’, Delfin! I used to think that “the hard grit” was the way to go. But I have to give credit for Elisabet Lahti, Ph.D. for explaining the core of Finnish sisu with the concept of ‘gentle power’. The term, which I then used in the book as well. A martial arts’ fighter has honor (at least in most cases) and respects the opponent. Often after the fight, new friendship become reality. And that is a great example of being nice to the people, even after tough fights.
