GE's five leadership traits

       Multinational conglomerate GE believes leaders must possess five distinguishing qualities:
       External Focus: Instead of inward looking, they listen to what customers and society say.
       Clear Thinking: Leaders must be "crystal clear" in their thoughts.
       Imagination: Leaders must have imagination and be capable of innovation and "thinking outside the box".
       Inclusiveness and compassion: Leaders must be considerate to both their team and to customers who use their services. They don't think about people solely from their own viewpoint, but consider others' feelings as well.
       Expertise: Leaders must be very good at what they do.
