Ten years of research and 500 face-to-face interviews led Richard St.John  to a collection of eight common traits in successful leaders around the world



What really leads to success?

After 10 years of research, 500 face to face interviews, studying 1000's of success stories from other sources and interviewing careers from a to Z (including 4 Nobel prize winners) he had a lot of data.
He then spent a lot of time analyzing and sorting the interviews.This lead him to find common traits.

He found that successful people have 8 traits, which are:


1.Love what you do

2.Work really hard

3.Focus on one thing not  everything

4.Keep pushing yourself

5.Come up with good ideas

6.Keep  improving yourself and what you do

7. Serve others something of value

8.Persist

These traits were the fundamentals. There were also other skills that were helpful, based on the area you were working, such as:

Technical skills
Analytical skills
People skills
Creative skills
Management skills
Computer skills


So how many of the 8 successful traits do you have? If you don't have them all, could you try focusing on 1 trait per month?
