Becoming a brilliant leader takes more than the desire to lead — several traits must be mastered. In this article for Thrive Global, author Rhett Power takes us through the competencies embodied by high-performing executives around the world.
Acertitude Managing Partner Rick DeRose says that flexibility and resilience is critical, “Those who focus on the mission without getting hung up on the highs and lows will have the most potential to create value. They aren’t afraid of conflict and are comfortable with the discomfort that comes with change, which is exactly the type of person you want on your leadership team.”
