How Did Barack Obama become the first Black (African) to be elected President of the
United States of America? In my view, it is down to ten attributes:
1. Setting High Standards
(even if it means setting the target higher than the record)
2. Self-Belief
3. Determination
4. Resilience
5. Planning & Organisation
6. Timing
7. Communication
8. People skills
9. Inclusion & Unity
10. Creativity
