Answer 2

a good leader is one that never once asks how much power they will have if they are the leader.
a good leader understands that he or she is not different in anyway from the people he leads .
the only thing that is different is that he is walking in front
the others have been told too follow you or they choose to follow you . best to have a row of people that choose to follow you.
yet a leader does not want to be followed.
a good leader know that this row of people behind him is of exactly the worth as he is. he knows that if one of the people falls down along that way it is his job to figure out how to get that person to either stand up or figure out how to carry that person.
a good leader then knows that he should seek good counsel from wise people he should be willing to understand that even though he is the first person in the line he is not necessarily going in the right direction. it may well be that some guy way back in the line has the map . a good leader asks that guy if he will share the map with him . and show him the path.
a good leader is someone that knows that there are times when the injured man needs to be dropped off at a hospital . a good leader never would for a moment think the answer is to drop the injured man in the ditch.
a good leader seeks to lead no more then he seeks to follow.
