What are the essential qualities of effective team leaders according to James Clear?

According to James Clear, effective team leaders possess high agency—the ability to see obstacles as starting points for new solutions rather than roadblocks. When faced with challenges, they ask 'what would it look like if we could figure that out?' instead of simply accepting limitations. They approach problems with creative persistence and determination. Additionally, strong interpersonal skills are crucial as 'almost every piece of good luck in life comes through people.' Leaders who are pleasant, outgoing, and skilled at building relationships gain more opportunities through their connections. Clear emphasizes that beyond functional competence in their role, these two qualities—high agency problem-solving and relationship-building abilities—are essential for leaders who want to bring valuable opportunities to their organizations.
