There are several others numerous traits a leader must posses before he/she can be identified as a good and spectacular leader. These traits are, but not limited to:
1. Patience: this is one of the major skills/traits a good leader must posses before he/she can be identified as one. A good leader must be patient at all times even in dealing with the non challant and lackadaisical attitude of subordinates.
