What are the skills required by an executive leader?

Being a leader is often a tricky job. It requires you to be flexible, have creative ideas, and learn how to manage people. While it may not be easy, being an effective chief executive can be acquired over time and with patience. The most important thing to remember about leadership is that it has to come from the heart and not just from your head! The qualities most common among ineffective management and leaders are those that surround open communication, the ability to understand the needs of the people they lead, taking time to listen to them, and instilling confidence in those that follow them. To be a great leader, you must possess and demonstrate several skills, including the ability to communicate effectively, manage diverse skill sets and colleagues, and have the knowledge and experience to interpret data.
