Qualities Needed For a Great Leader...

Great day all,

I have a question for all you brilliant members and I would love your feedback.

What qualities are needed from a boss/manager/supervisor/employer to be considered a great leader? Thanks.

The ability to motivate / activate other human beings by being human.

At the very minimum I would expect Vision, Ethics, and the ability to Inspire others.

Great leaders study other great leaders and assimilate their qualities.

That's why role models are more important than working models in a world that is changing faster than anyone can keep up with.

Someone who will go to bat for his people. There's nothing that inspires loyalty among the troops like 'fighting' for them. Especially, on a commission issue.
