wouldn’t feel safe with them as their leader. This would also lead them to be respected among their people as well as their opposing forces. When a leader has compassion they are also able to view the perspective of their people and to see how the actions that they choose would bring about repercussions onto the ‘citizens’. Overall compassion is crucial to a good leader in many ways. The next quality that is necessary to a good leader is intelligence.
A leader that has intelligence makes everything run smoother. When in a tough situation they can think of a plan quickly and effectively. They are more knowledgeable and have more information on their enemies, the best tactics to use, and even on their own country. Intelligence is a characteristic of a good leader that most people would agree on and many would say it’s the most important aspect of a being in charge of a group of people. The final quality of a good leader is patience. This is very important because a patient leader is able to wait for the outcome and doesn’t act impulsively. Imagine you’re in a school setting and a teacher, otherwise known as the ‘leader’ of the classroom, expected that the students understand what to do as it’s taught to them. This is not very realistic because most all good teachers know that it takes time to pick up a new skill. They need time to practice and therefore a patient ‘leader’ would be the best option for
them. Being a good leader is no easy job and many may struggle with the responsibilities that come with it. Not only is he in charge of himself, but he is also in charge of a whole group, or country, of people. A good leader must have a phenomenal balance of characteristics, but the three that are most crucial and important to him are compassion, intelligence, and patience. With these characteristics he’ll have a strong chance of becoming and being known as a good leader.
