They know how to break down silos and model collaboration. They have the courage to build meaningful relationships, and are experts at establishing trust and touching hearts, creating an environment where people feel heard, small problems don’t escalate, and businesses succeed.

The so-what: Anyone can learn to be a great leader; the necessary skills are inherent in our humanity.

Great leaders know how to communicate productively in stressful moments.

Keeping it simple can help leaders lead through challenging situations.
