A director I had for a while many years ago. This person had a vision and was able to articulate it so that we could all understand it and take action. An excellent negotiator too, who used to meet with peers prior to director council meetings, so that the proposals would be backed by everyone and approved every time.
Another one was very forceful-which I admired at times-but this person lacked what we might call the diplomatic touch and made more enemies than allies.
Those two definitely stand out when looking back, particularly the former one.
P.S.
Many answers go in the direction of a leader being able to listen and to be supportive. This for me is a given.
Also, they have to go beyond words and trigger action and then follow up on the results.

I lead with integrity and empathy, aiming to be seen as a fair and supportive leader who values growth and innovation. Inspired by Nelson Mandela's resilient and moral leadership, I strive to tackle the challenge of sustaining team morale in a dynamic industry. Witnessing the potential in others to surpass their limits is what drives my passion for fostering an environment of continuous learning and success.
