U.S Presidential election

The U.S Presidential election makes us think about leaders - and what it is that makes a great leader.

Think of the worlds great leaders (not necessarily politicians) & they all have attributes in common:-

1) They have a great "vision" & communicate it effectively; they know where they are headed & want everyone along there with them.

2) They have a core set of principals which they truly believe in & they form the foundation of their actions & deeds.

3) They lead, they don't follow - they take their own path no matter what the herd are doing.

4) The lead by example, from the front - they put their money where their mouth is.

5) Their actions rather than their words are what counts.

6) They stand up for the "little people" against the strong.

7) Some people hate them for their honesty.

8) They cannot be bribed or corrupted.

9) They are humble rather than arrogant.

10) They are discovered rather than made.

Maybe we can't all be great leaders but we can all do our best to lead by example every day.
