Lead, follow, or get out of the way…

What makes a good leader?

A good leader is one who has walked where the followers are now walking.

A good leader is a good listener.

A good leader praises and admonishes the followers, instructs and corrects the followers, models actions for the followers, then evaluates the characteristics or goals to be achieved by the followers.

A good leader is encouraging and understanding, not condemning or belittling.

A good leader is self-aware and leads others to be self-aware.

A good leader never assigns a task which the leader has never done, would never do, or isn’t willing to do.

A good leader is head of the tribe, not a lone wolf in a pack of lone wolves.

A good leader inspires then enables every follower to become a leader.

A good leader, leads.
