Of course, they are many who have started their own companies but only a few have climbed the ladder. It is similar to the empires which have come and gone.
But only a few names have been engraved through the ages. This is because of the effective leadership habits they inculcated and followed. These habits are not only for them. They have passed on to others also and motivated other employees who are toiling hard and sticking to their goals.
Hence, here are some of the leadership traits they have followed. You can also adhere to them if you are aspiring to become a leader one day.
Be proactive
Being proactive is figuring out what can happen and anticipating the future. Planning for that taking the necessary steps to lead the company. This makes leaders prepare for future consequences either positive or negative. Instead of waiting for the circumstances to come. Thus it builds a reputation in the organization and makes people rely on you. A proactive person thinks, plans and acts much ahead and climbs the ladder successfully.

Prioritization
Great leaders are highly focused. They are disciplined and shows integrity by sticking to their projects. Although they do it slowly and know that slow and steady wins the race. They always meet the deadlines by working hard. They put off all the dust aside and concentrate only on important things.
