The article mentions self-awareness as the number 1, but I disagree. | Creator mindset | Having a creator mindset over a victim mindset is great for leadership. The victim treats situations as if they can’t change them, while the creator takes responsibility and actively shapes reality. Creators turn every situation into an opportunity. I've actually seen this more broadly labeled as someone having a Growth Mindset instead of a Fixed Mindset, and I 100% agree. This should probably be the #1 value that makes someone a great leader. In fact, I believe it's so important, that it should be the basis for all other qualities and skills a leader develops on their journey. It's actually a rare trait amongst software engineers and I think this is the trait that either propels someone into a great leader, or holds them back when they are forced into it. My #2 on the list is perseverance and that goes hand-in-hand with having a growth mindset. The best way to test this quality on anyone is if you can successfully answer yes to the question, "is this person reliable?" If you have a growth mindset and perseverance, then I believe you can pick up the other traits and learn on your way up the ladder.
