What makes a Future Leader?

Partners will be asked to look for the following when nominating Future Leaders

• An understanding of the dynamics of local communities and a passion for working with members
• Ability to set tone, vision and values without dominating - creating the space in which others can take calculated risks, perform and learn
• Entrepreneurial/commercial streak, understanding of the role of the media and technology
• Creative thinking, collaboration, resilience, conviction, empathy, 'bouncebackability', humility and a sense of humour

With thanks to the 20-strong unofficial Twitter focus group that shared their views: read more of their thoughts on the qualities needed by future leaders at LGCplus.com/5031403.blog
