Leader

    When being asked to describe an I deal leader I thought of a few qualities quickly humble, courageous and intelligent. But then I sat back and thought deeper to what it means to be a leader, is it just telling people what to do or what is best for them. Or does it mean all your action should be for the people and their well-being. It is true leaders come in all forms, and some are better than other. We can all sit back and critique the actions and decisions of past and present leaders but it is not a easy task to be a leader. With that being said, I think the most important quality of a leader is honesty not only with his/her people but with one self. What are the motives behind their action are they pure a genuine. They should also be hard working and lead through example, not by just telling people what is right or wrong. A good leader has understanding and compassion. A good leader has a vision and is willing to share it with others.  A good leader is a leader of all the people not just a select few. Weather a leader of a multimillion dollar company or a leader of girl scouts the basic qualities transfer just the same. The challenges of trying to please everyone and not being able to can be shared alike.
