A good leader should be forceful, but patient
should be demanding, but negotiable.
He should have the courage to fight anything,
but the knowledge to not fight at all.
He should make his followers get to work when it is needed,
but be relax when the work is done.
A good leader should find a way to make everyone happy,
but make decisions for the majority.
He should have the heart of a mother bear,
but discipline to say no.
A good leader should lead not to satisfy himself, but others.
He should clean up the mess of the past, and not make a mess of his own.
A good leader is one who can look at every option in the eye,
but still have room for new ideas.
A good leader must have a plan from start to finish,
but is prepared for what may happen during the journey.
A good leader is a person who doesn’t care what others think,
as long as he knows it’s for the greater good, and that it is fair, and unswerving.
A good leader, is one who will take charge, and becomes a better leader.
