When it comes to the overall success of a business, we often point to markers like system-wide revenue or same-store sales. However, there’s another non-numeric factor that has the power to make or break a company’s future: leadership.

Brands marked by poor leadership have to overcome negative reputations and stifling work environments. Companies that are known for their positive leaders, on the other hand, consistently recruit the best talent and see consistent success. No matter what industry you’re in, there are a variety of traits and habits that are known for making great leaders. And according to Doug Kushell of Franchise Search, Inc., a brand that places strong candidates in executive positions at a variety of emerging and established franchise concepts, those characteristics are easy to spot.
