2. Confidence
Understanding yourself

Look for helpful and constructive point in any public criticism and thank them. Let's show your professionalism and maturity. Learning to listen is one of the important leadership skills you need to achieve in order to become a good leader.
3. Human connection skill
Listen
Always be interested in listening to the others’ opinions. Find out the policy or problems causing the obstacles to your team to overcome and achieve better results. You should also encourage employees to offer themselves solutions.
Flexibility
A good leader does not think he is always right. Be open to dissent, ideas and innovations. If your employees feel comfortable to speak and participate in the construction and implement their ideas, they will look for opportunities to help company grow.
Support others
