It is said that there is power in numbers. What one cannot achieve alone, one can achieve in collaboration with others. Of course there are situations where one person is clearly the leader and makes everyone their followers but those scenarios are not our daily scenarios. Most of the daily tasks are better performed when a community collaborates. Through cooperation with others, we can sometimes take better decisions and make use of collective wisdom.

One skill that is critical to working in collaboration is to be able to listen to all voices and opinions. If a leader does not have this skill, it will be hard for them to work in collaboration with others. One should be able to listen to all ideas and opinions and then be able to make a final call which is in line with what is best for the task at hand.

Another critical quality one needs to have is not see success as personal success but rather a community success or team success. If a leader is able to put personal goals aside and make the right decisions for the community, they will gain more respect from others. This will mean more success for them overall.
