Attributes of an Effective Leader

By Alex Kheyson

What does it take for one to be an effective leader? What attributes should an effective leader have in his or her leadership toolbox in order to be as effective as they can be every day, while helping and supporting others in their personal development and leadership journey? I've written this book hoping to help answer these questions by listing some, in my humble opinion, highly important attributes that an effective leader should learn, understand, and apply when managing and leading others.

Twenty-three attributes of an effective leader listed in this book by no means is an all-inclusive list of all attributes that an effective and successful leader should or may acquire throughout his or her leadership journey. However, knowing, understanding, and applying attributes covered in this book, I believe, is a good resource for all leaders and individuals interested in personal development and growth. I hope that you will find this book helpful in your own personal and professional development, as you navigate through new and exciting opportunities in always-changing business world.

Alex Kheyson

My name is Alex E Kheyson. Personal and Professional Development is my life's passion, and my goal is to share this passion with others through authentic communication that comes from my heart. Every day I strive to motivate and inspire other people to become better leaders, overcome their fear of change and the unknown, in order to keep moving forward every single day in pursuit of their personal and professional goals and dreams. My work is based on many years of trial and error experiences in the field of personal and professional development, overcoming many obstacles, dealing with challenges and failures and, of course, celebrating wins and accomplishments along the way. If you ask me what do I know about experiencing and overcoming challenges in life, I will tell you that immigrating to United States at the age of 14, without speaking a single word of English when rest of your family depends on you, while attending school with requirement to learn the language and to graduate in 3 years without knowing where to begin, that's what my life was like over 20 years ago.
