Re: Good Leaders...
An effective leader should have the ability to see the silver lining in any dark cloud. He/she should be able to show that lining to those around him/her and motivate them when they are discouraged.
He/she should be an excellent orator.....able to sway the masses.
He/she should be someone that can see the big picture yet at the very same time, understand and sympathize with the individual case.
He/she should be able to take criticism....regardless of the manner in which it is presented.
That's a few qualities that come to mind.
