It is however logical that change will be opposed and difficult to accept initially. There is a high premium on being level-headed, keeping emotions and feelings under control and being an optimist. I believe that a vibrant energy for “hard work” and taking tough decisions, being consistent and following through on these are some traits of a good leader leading in turbulent times.
An effective leader is always optimistic “even when the going gets tough”, never a pessimist. An effective leader sees opportunities where others only see problems and continuously raises the bar for excellence in an organisation.
