The qualities Ted Myers highlights in “Top 10 Qualities That Make a Great Leader” really connect with my own experiences working at Burgerfi. For example, the importance of delegation stood out to me because it reminded me of a time during a busy shift when we were short-staffed and had new employees. My boss initially tried to handle everything himself, but he quickly realized that trusting the team with specific tasks improved the overall quality of our work and allowed us to focus on the more important things, just like Myers talks about. This taught me that effective delegation is actually a strength, not a weakness. My favorite trait that was listed is honesty. Honesty is a cornerstone of effective leadership and is crucial for building trust within a team. When a leader upholds high ethical standards, it sets the tone for the entire organization. This article is different from anything I’ve read before for a few reasons. My favorite trait Myers listed is honesty. Honesty is so important in leadership because it helps build trust within a team. When leaders are honest and uphold high ethical standards, it sets a good example for everyone else. This was my first time reading an article on LinkedIn, and I was surprised by how interesting and informative it was. It has made me want to read more articles on the platform. Also, I feel like I actually learned something from it, which is more than I can say for most of the stuff I’ve read lately.
