leader

This is the perfect definition for leader ship :

The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

Some qualities Leader should have :

Leader is a servant : Authority does not exist for its own sake, but for the sake of those under that authority. Leaders exist to meet the needs of those they lead.

Leader is loyal : A leader should foster loyalty at every level, not just from the people to the leader, but from the leader to the people.

Leader has dirty hands : A leader will get his hands in the work, not to Lord it over the people, but to understand what must be done.

Leader will embrace dissent : Since a leader knows his limitations, he will listen to those who disagree with him. Dissent between brothers can be healthy.

Leader builds leaders not followers : A leader should lead people to grow and mature, from zero to hero , instead of leaving them babes.

Leader should create a path : Leader should not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Leader should be the part of the team : Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.
