Leadership is not a term that should be used lightly, because not everyone can be a leader. A person is sometimes born a leader and others are modeled into being a leader by the effects of what has happened in their lives. The majority of people are followers; to be a leader it takes a special type of person to meet the qualifications to be held in the regard to be a leader. A leader is someone who can inspire people to do great evil or to conquer all odds. They hold a substantial amount of power and influence over others. They have influence over other and are able to inspire when the situation is desperate. A leader must be able to make tough decision and see that they are carried out, because they have to be able to choose between a single person and the greater good.
Leaders typically have unique personality characteristics. They are self directed, hardworking, persistent, informed, knowledgeable, and have skills such as public speaking, problem solving, delegation and the ability to understand and manipulate people. Leaders are also known to be able to create a bias and project it to the public to sway opinions.
A leader should strive to up hold a very high moral character. A leader’s reputation is one of the keys to their success. Followers must be able to rely and believe in what a leader says. When the followers begin to doubt what the leader states then he is no longer a leader because a leader is just a person that people follow and with no followers there ceases to be a leader.
