1. Charisma

(d) Leadership Public Speaking is a great element of charisma, however being able to speak to large crowds is not just what the definition of charisma is about. Charisma is about speaking with purpose, passion and being able to keep the attention, or even build excitement in the person you are talking to.

2. Delegation

(c) Effective delegation is a fantastic leadership skill that only a fraction of business leaders action in all areas of their organizations. Entrepreneurs are famously poor at actually delegating important tasks to their inferiors. After spending so long, and exerting so much effort in building up the company from small beginnings, they often find it difficult to truly place their ‘baby’ in the hands of another person. This of course simply makes this particular leadership skill a welcome sight when auctioned in any company.

3. Decisiveness

(b) Whether they are making the decision themselves, or seeking a democratic opinion from their colleagues – leaders must arrive at a decision swiftly, once presented with the facts, rather than either taking a vague stance on an issue, or taking too long to come to a firm decision once all the information has been gathered. This will require the leader to have an analytical mind, and confidence in ones judgment.

4. Patience.

(e) Often, even good decisions, good management and good strategy and implementation can still take some time to bear fruits. This means that leaders need to exert the skill of patience in holding back on requesting constant updates or demanding for things to be done fast, which often just creates a barrier that at best stops people from actually getting on with their work, and at worst causes resentment and can cripple projects.

5. Strong Moral Character

(a) While many famous leaders in the past could have, ‘questionable’ moral character, in the modern world – people demand their leaders to be transparent, lead by good example, and show strength in morals and values. People are no longer satisfied by a fair wage, as they also want to feel that they work for a ‘good’ company.

H. Correct the order of the extracts

1 - b; 2 - a; 3 - e; 4 - c; 5 - d.
