Of course, it is possible to be a successful leader without \n some of these components. It is also possible to have all these components and still not \n succeed as a leader. However, leveraging most or all of these components will improve your \n chances significantly.

To be a learner is to be curious and open to new information. It involves the critical \n skills of insightful questioning and deep listening, as well as the objective of understanding fully. \n Encouraging others to share good and bad news is an important part of learning, as is \n conversing and reading broadly to understand the context of potential decisions and actions. \n Learning leaders provide a role model for continuously soliciting feedback, applying new \n learning, and improving themselves and the decisions they make.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.625997,"width":0.763614,"height":0.10757700000000003}},{"text":"Empower. People on your team and on your team’s teams need to know the scope of their \n decision-making authority. As much as possible, successful leaders push decisions down and \n empower people at multiple levels to draw their own conclusions. This includes giving people \n the latitude for how they approach and implement the decisions, rather than outlining each \n step. Trusting others is the key to empowerment, and leaders who trust tend to cultivate trust \n throughout the organization. Bringing out the best in others, seeing things they do not see \n about themselves, and encouraging them to take risks are also part of this component.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.755429,"width":0.7554960000000001,"height":0.126208}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
