The Final Superpowers of Exceptional Leaders: Unleash the Leader
The list of superpowers does not end with being empathic, a strategic thinker, innovator, agile, or a visionary. There are a few more traits desired to envision an exceptional leader.
The Power of Macro Managing
Yet another superpower which we all wish to possess is macromanagement. Although it’s important to focus on the now and today, it’s equally important to keep an eye out for the big picture. Allowing the employees of the organization to do their work without overseeing their every move is an extremely underrated power. It demonstrates to employees that they are trusted, giving them more confidence in their own ability to create better results.
This also allows the leader to focus more of their energy on more important tasks and problems that the company has to deal with. Leaders step in or guide the team only when it’s absolutely necessary.
Decisiveness and Confidence: The Ultimate Superpower
And finally, to round it all off, we arrive at the ultimate superpower: decisiveness and confidence. Often at work, leaders are presented with a variety of options. They have to make many decisions and make them accurately, which calls for decisiveness. Leaders who have the ability to make clear-cut decisions in a short time frame are more in demand in today’s market. The equation is pretty simple: indecisive leaders lead to missed opportunities.
Leadership involves taking time to arrive at the best decision that they will stand by, even in difficult times, without unnecessary delay. To clarify, this doesn’t mean that they should be arrogant or hasty about their decisions; they should approach it with a clear head. Ultimately, they need to have unshakable confidence in their decisions because the leader’s confidence is almost like a superpower that drives teams, employees, and even the company to perform at their best.

Cultivate the traits to lead your people to new heights. The journey to lead the change begins with the confidence and belief in your own potential and the commitment to growth and learning.
