1. 8 HABITS OF LEADERS
By Peter Trombetti
Oficio Group

2. 1. THEY PRAISE
They give employees
recognition when they
deserve it
They truly mean their
praise and come off as
genuine

3. 2. THEY MAKE DECISIONS
Great leaders listen to the
opinions of those around
them and quickly and
efficiently make a choice
This builds confidence and
momentum with their team

4. 3. THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
Sometimes we make a bad
decision. Good leaders
know when they’ve made a
wrong choice and they take
responsibility
Instead of focusing on the
negative, they figure out a
positive way to move
forward

5. 4. THEY COMMUNICATE
They don’t keep ideas and
plans to themselves. They
work with their team to
make sure everyone knows
what is going on and when
to do it.
They also communicate the
“why” behind their actions.

6. 5. THEY SET AN EXAMPLE
Employees notice what you
do and how you do it.
Don’t just Tell - Act how
you would want your
employees to act.

7. 6. THEY GIVE FEEDBACK
They notice areas of
improvement in employees
and work with them to
better themselves.

8. 7. THEY SEEK HELP
They know where they are
vulnerable
They don’t pretend to
know everything - they ask
questions and ask for help
when they need it

9. 8. THEY CHALLENGE
They challenge their
employees to take personal
responsibility for their
projects
This asks employees to do
their best as it is a direct
reflection of them and their
ability
