10 Qualities of A President - They Apply to Me as Well!

Doris Kearns Goodwin, one of the most acclaimed historians of our time AND Pulitzer Prize winner, has developed a list of the 10 Qualities of a President.  While these points may be something to ponder for a Presidential Canidiate I find them quite applicable to ANY leader!  Can you find yourself among these qualities?

  1. The Courage To Stay Strong
  2. Self-Confidence
  3. An Ability To Learn From Errors
  4. A Willingness To Change
  5. Emotional Intelligence
  6. Self Control
  7. A Popular Touch
  8. A Moral Compass
  9. A Capacity To Relax
  10. A Gift For Inspiring Others

Whether you are a presidential candidate or not, this list proves to be the foundation by which one should aspire.  I firmly believe that if each of these points are addressed within our own lives we will find ourselves in a much better position.  A better position within our businesses, our relationships and with ourselves!

Start a plan today!  Address each of these qualities within yourself and discover how you can improve on them, incorporate them into your life and develop habits of excellence!

Lewis - Too funny!  I am sure that you can muster even a LITTLE self-control!

Leesa, I am still working on 5 & 9.  I need to develop a much thicker skin, but I have also realized that I have faced some Presidential sized critics.  And I just need to relax when they start-up.  Thanks for the reminder of these points, they will prove useful in November, too.

Leesa,

     #9 is the killer, I don't know if it is the capacity I lack or the time!

Lessa, I'd say it fits and that those are the basics of what we do. I just wish it was how our president conducted himself....sorry....I promised myself no more potlitical statements starting today! I agree with you Leesa...it is what we aspire to that sets in motion what we achieve.

Leesa - I like this list.  I think I might need to run for public office based on this.

Posted by Jason Crouch, Broker - Austin Texas Real Estate (512-796-7653) (Austin Texas Homes, LLC) over 3 years ago

Leesa, This is a great list to judge any leader with.  Jason based on your record here on AR you should win any election.

Leesa - I just had a funny experience.  I saw your new picture on the dashboard, and I thought someone else had plagiarized your post!

Jane - They are some that are difficult but the list certainly gives a cause to pause.

Joshua - #9 is THE hardest for Type A's - that's for sure!

Jeanean - it is what we aspire to that sets in motion what we achieve I LOVE THAT!

Cristal - That's one job I would NEVER want!  You are too funny!

Jason - Of all people - you could do it!  And for your second comment?  Thanks for having my back!

Paddy - This is a great list - beautiful and worthy characteristics

Cherimie - I printed it, too - great reminders every morning for when we start the day!

Debi - Can you imagine if EVERYONE tried to live up to the list???

Yvette - Thanks - you can always count on me for something different.

Posted by Leesa L. Finley -Wake Forest NC REALTOR® Wake Forest NC & Raleigh NC Real Estate (Circa Properties - Your Wake Forest NC Homes Specialist) over 3 years ago

Leesa, excellent list. I think we can all self evaluate with this list and see where we fall short.

I think I probably have too many issues that would prevent me from being elected, unfortunately.  If I spot anyone ripping off your post, I will certainly let you know!

Leesa, Great new photo!  You have been busy, today!  Thanks again for the Post!

Posted by Jane Page Thompson over 3 years ago

A great list I hope everyone used to measure all the candidates on all levels this year!

I'll settle for the moral compass as the nr. 1 item.
