They Give Responsibility and Authority. A good leader recognizes that, once responsibility is given, everyone needs the authority and independence to make decisions.  Without authority and a measure of freedom people are typically unsuccessful and become frustrated and discouraged.

Good Leaders Affirm Those they Lead.
Good leaders tell people about their positive qualities, and praise their accomplishments.  This kind of affirmation raises people’s performance to the next level.  Great leaders place people ahead of results, direct their improvement, and deal with problems swiftly.

Good Leaders are the Chief Cheerleader of the Vision. Great leaders keep a group focused on vision. Jesus understood the importance of vision when He said, "Can one blind person lead another? Won't they both fall into a ditch?” Leaders motivate others by sharing their enthusiasm for the vision.  The contagious nature of their enthusiasm raises everyone spirits as in spreads throughout the team.

Leaders are Highly Visible. A great leader takes the time to get to know those for whom they are responsible.  This is more then having an open door policy.  Good leaders circulate through their team several times a day encouraging, clarifying, and affirming them.
