WHAT MAKES A GOOD LEADER?
A leader is one who rises above others in terms of certain mental abilities in respect to his or her intelligence as in smartness or brilliance. The leader is knowledgeable about economics, politics, world affairs and is a thinker expounding brilliant ideas. But these intellectual abilities alone cannot make a good leader. The factor that makes the biggest difference is the value system a leader chooses and believes in. A leader that chooses the good values will become a good leader while a leader who chooses the negative values will become a bad one.
Qualities of heart.
We have seen that intellect qualities alone cannot guarantee the quality of a leader. Another factor is the nature of the heart. We may classify the two main grouping of good and negative qualities of the heart as follows. Good qualities of the heart encompasses national vision, adherence to principles, open-mindedness and lots of common sense, selfless service, honest and trustworthy, fair and just straight- forward, continuous learner, humble, thankful and practices equality and moderation.
A leader should humble himself / herself and be friend to those who below him. If the leader is a Christian he should look into the leadership of Jesus Christ.
