Key leadership skills

I have been reading "The Four-Fold Way" a book by Angeles Arrien.  I have been re-reading and pondering this book for about 8 months and learning more about being an effective leader.  It does not have a Christian perspective but comes out of a Native American spiritual perspective.

This week I have studied the Way of the Healer which has an emphasis on the power of love.  We reach out in love to people when we do five things.
1.  Acknowledge them
2.  Show gratitude
3.  Validate others
4.  Recognize others
5.  Have an accepting attitude.

We are better leaders when we acknowledge others in four areas:
1.  Skills
2.  Character qualities
3.  Appearance
4.  Impact we make on each other

As I thought about what I was reading I created a list for myself of some key leadership skills that I have learned from multiple places.
1.  Showing up -  Leaders are those who keep showing up, even when tired, discouraged or bored.
2.  Paying attention - Leaders are observant and notice what is doing on around them.  They also pay attention to others and how people around them are interacting.  Who looks at who when a person is talking reveals power structures.
3.  Reframing - Leaders look at a situation, issue, problem, or conflict from multiple angles. What is going on here?  What is the problem? Whose problem is it?  Is there a way to turn around to see it from the other person's perspective?
4.  Acknowledge and thank others.  See a more specific list above.  I feel that every thank you note I write is time well spent.
5. Invite others into leadership and learn to delegate.  This relates to acknowledging the skills of others.  None of us can do it all or do it alone.
6.  Model the behavior you want others to demonstrate.
7.  Nurture yourself spirituality, physically and emotionally.  Also make sure you nurture others on your ministry teams.
