Real Business say the most successful company directors have many of the following traits. What do you think?
The Willingness to Do More
As the director of a company you are responsible for any shortcomings. You are in charge of delegating tasks, ensuring satisfactory output and in the end the ones that will have to answer to the company owner(s)/shareholders, HMRC, or clients if things do not go as planned. For this reason, successful directors know that they have an obligation to pick up the slack and they are not afraid to put in some hard work when it is called for.
The Ability to Adapt and Adjust
Everything doesn’t always go as planned. In fact, most of the time you can count on there being some deviation from the original blueprint, especially in the channel where there are so many variables to consider. A proficient company director is able to adapt to changes and quickly make required adjustments.
Diligence and Persistence
Both of these traits are needed in tandem – diligence without persistence will not put you ahead of competitors, and persistence without diligence will have you working harder but not smarter.
