1- Be organized and tidy. A good leader must lead by example. Often, the office reflects the leader: if it's messy, it means the leader is very disorganized. In this case, they lack credibility with their subordinates. It always makes a bad impression to always have to search under a pile of documents for the one you need at a specific moment.
2- Have a range of knowledge in the field. The leader must be the team's reference; they must be able to answer questions and manage emergencies.
3- Know how to lead and work as a team. The leader must have influence and command respect. They must know how to impose their rules and expertise.
4- Be able to handle high responsibilities. Don't let yourself be influenced. The leader is the "head" of the team; they are the one who takes responsibility. If they make a mistake, they must be able to own up to their errors.
5- Know how to communicate and energize their team. You must be able to manage conflicts and problems within the group. A good leader can organize meetings with colleagues outside of work, weekend getaways for example, where everyone gets to know each other. This strengthens teams.
6- Know how to supervise a team. Ideally, end the week with a work meeting. The leader calls together their entire team or team leaders, and they discuss the problems encountered during the week, but also share what went well. This way, everyone can offer solutions to others' problems.
7- Know how to delegate work. No one can do everything. The leader's priority should be to "lead"; other tasks are distributed among other people.
