Qualities of a Good Leader | Dan Rockwell 011
Leadership either makes or breaks the company. What are the things that leaders need to have and do to build an environment where workers can bring their best selves? We talk about this today with one of the top leaders in the industry, Dan Rockwell.
“Everything good in leadership starts with humility.” – Dan Rockwell
Empowering Leaders Worldwide
The American Management Association hailed Dan Rockwell as a Top 30 Leader in Business. Inc Magazine also lists him as one of the Top 50 Leadership Experts in the English Speaking World.

Treat Well, Work Well
There are places that people don’t want to go to, yet they work in them. The misery it gives does not necessarily come from the work. It comes from the environment.
“People leave organizations not because of the work but because of the people.” – Dan Rockwell
Dan discusses the function of culture. According to him, it is the way people interact with each other in the workplace. It is important to treat each other well because, in the end, people want to fulfill jobs with people they like.
Points to Recognize in Leadership
Traits like integrity and the ability to take initiative are the usual indicators of good leadership. But these are shallow traits which can be seen from the outside.
Deep inside are two or three traits. One is curiosity and another is the practice of humility. Humility asks the question, “What if others are right?”
It is a practice that is done one thing at a time. This practice includes asking questions and staying open to ideas. It also requires a leader to be intentional with his actions.

He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.
