I met an impressive person yesterday. She was so dynamic, enthusiastic, energetic and knowledgeable. It was very interesting to watch her talk about her career progress and what made her successful. She was above 50 and has grandchild(ren). When you see her speaking, you would feel the energy levels of a teenager... Wow..... I could immediately connect with her; that is how all of us in the auditorium felt....
I have had impressive bosses in the past. They were not so vocal or bubbly. But I see quite a number of things in common...
1. They all (including her) respect & willing to trust the other person; they are trustworthy
2. They are passionate about what they do
3. They are confident that grooming others will only help them grow higher & it is not a threat to groom their successor
4. They adapt to changes quickly – in fact they welcome change
5. Most importantly, they are honest but not 'braggy' about any of these
6. They understand and accept that one can make mistakes...
You know, these qualities are contagious... if you are with them for some time, you would see that your thoughts, speech and actions change for good. It is rare to get such people around you; the best you can do is, you develop these qualities... you would see that people around you change :-)
