Qualities Of Leader

Leaders are needed in many of life’s situations.Students in school have their school prefects. Armies have their admirals and generals. A film has its manager. A prison has its warden. In each succeeding generation,we sèe leaders emerging to lead mankind. Wherever it is, be it the school room, the battlefield or the boardroom, people who are chosen to lead usually share the same character and qualities that make for good leaders.

The personality of a leader is very important. A leader must be someone who is respected and is looked upon to set the best example. His judgement must be trusted and he must be able to evoke love from the people he leads. A leader who is despised by his followers will not last for long at the helm.

A leader must have the willingness to lead. He must have the initiative to rally men around him. There is no place for half-heartedness in a good leader.

The next important thing is character. A leader must have tenacity of spirit, clarity of mind, great determination and courage. He must know what exactly he wants to do and then be determined to carry it out. Facta non verba must be the maxim guiding a good leader.

A good leader must not have a fatalistic attitude towards life. When the chips are down and the problems mount, the leader must have the vision and fortitude to lift his followers out of the gloom. It is during times of crisis that a leader’s abilities are tested.

While religion is not a necessary quality of good leaders, we must look at history and see that all good leaders of the past had some force or inward ideology that motivated them in their lives. For example, although Gandhi was just a simple unarmed man, his insistence on non-violence gained him huge respect and a mulitude of followers and he eventually managed to gain inde.pendence for India.

It is possible for a leader to have all the qualities of a great leader but still lacks the most important one that is a sense of what is morally right and wrong. Adolf Hitler is a good example. Youth gangs and secret societies that exist in both Eastern and Western countries are often involved in crimes of all genre. These are led by leaders without a moral sense of what is right and wrong.

Finally, the real test of a good leader is the answer to this question,”Do men follow him?” Even though today there are many examples of leaders who are followed for the wrong reasons, yet still we need to remind ourselves of the qualities that make for a good leader. A good leader is not only respected because of his character and vision, he is also loved for his honesty, his love for truth and his sense of fairplay. A person who possesses such qualities will make a good leader.
