If you want to develop good leaders, look for people capable of doing these 10 very specific things:

1. Take responsibility before having authority. They lead without waiting for permission.

2. Detect what the system doesn't see. They see the problem that the process hasn't yet recognized.

3. Understand the human impact of their decisions. They don't just perform tasks; they take responsibility for the consequences.

4. Make uncomfortable decisions when it would be easier to do nothing. Leading is almost always harder than getting things done.

5. Refuse to hide behind "it's not my area." They know that real problems don't respect organizational charts.

6. Protect purpose over procedure. They follow rules, but they defend the meaning.

7. Act as if the company were theirs. Because, in that moment, it is.

8. Do more than expected, even when no one is watching. They don't seek recognition; they seek to make things right.

9. Make the extraordinary the standard. An isolated act is heroism; Repeating it creates a culture.

10. Encourage others to dare to lead as well. True leadership isn't centralized, it's contagious.
