(c) are sensitive, sensors, sensitive. (d) practice an adult empathy. (e) they dare to be different. (f) they understand the complexity of strategic processes. (g) the leader can be narcissistic but isn’t the wizard of Oz. (h) the leader knows and manages the emotional intelligence for themselves and for others. Worthy of note in these characteristics some aspects in some of them, which we consider bear in mind and featuring very well them blacksmiths, such as: when a leader shows its weaknesses it creates a stream of confidence and it helps that his followers feel more comfortable, in the same boat.
If shown perfect, invulnerable, not It would take anyone, their employees would not help you. However, need much courage, much strength to be displayed as well. Another aspect is that the leaders have the ability to capture and interpret non-numeric data (by supposed also the numerical), little quantitative and highly qualitative; they read keys and clues and feelings not expressed.
