Qualities of a Leader
What is a leader? According to a researcher, a leader is anyone who others follow and look to for guidance. There are many different types of leaders in this world. Some lead a family, friends, organizations, businesses, towns, states, or even countries. What is it that separates good leaders from great leaders? Why some leaders are merely tolerated while people zealously follow others? Researchers believes that the difference is what’s on the inside of the man that makes him a great leader. In The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, Maxwell lists 21 qualities that all great leaders possess. This list includes: character, charisma, commitment, communication, competence, courage, discernment, focus, generosity, initiative, listening, passion, positive attitude, problem solving, relationships, responsibility, security, self-discipline, servant-hood, teaching ability, and vision.
