What is your perception of a leader?

A good quality of a leader is someone who served his followers. He will set an example of how to do things instead of commanding the people on doing things. He himself will show how to do it. A leader is not a commander but someone who leads.. he will do it first and others would follow.. He should have concern to his followers, be Understanding and should put himself to their shoes, meaning he should feel what his members feel. Open minded and caring person.

Focus, smartwork and perseverance and courage are the qualities a leader should possess.

I think a leader for me is someone who's leading a victorious life, that people get to be inspired whenever he or she speaks and has the power to convince others because he is trustworthy and tested through time. He knows when to be autocratic, democratic or laisez faire, it's not just one aspect but flexible. Lastly, for me he should not end up doing everything, but he's able to supervise, know which work best suits for certain person and facilitate in moving to the right direction. Most importantly that leader should model God's grace too. ^^
