To distinguish yourself as a leader you have to have Predictability, Consistency, Trust, Communication and Passion, said Kate O'Neill, a faculty member in college of business at Zayed University in the event of celebrating 100 years of women leadership.

"Don’t ask your employees or peers to do things you are not going to do yourself. Support your peers those who work for you and above you", said O'Neill. She mentioned that communication is very important and you should tell people what you are going to do, then do it. You have to ask questions and really listen to the answers.

O'Neill added, "To become a great leader, you have to have passion, love what you do. If you don’t love what you're doing, you shouldn’t be doing it". She said also, "Every leader should understand what her role is in the big picture, so that everyone can be passionate about their task, big or small."
