What personality types make the best leaders ?

Question

If we are going to be choosing a new leader for our nation, what type of personality traits should we be looking for ?

Answer 1

What an excellent question !! Here are some ideas, but I do not think that we should profile a certain personality type.
First and Foremost, a True American Patriot that loves his country and respects and loves our constitution, and all the reasons it was written. We need someone that can undo the chaos that has been done to this countrys justice system and dumb laws that have been put on the books.
A strong sense of Justice, and the full knowledge of right and wrong. We sadly lack justice in todays justice system.
Honesty, goes without saying.
Someone well rehearsed in LOGIC. Not so much pride that they think they are somehow better than the people under them.
Someone with good moral beliefs, and someone who does not practice religion in his choices for the country. Hence, separation of church and state. Yet, someone that is willing to pray for guidance in his personal life on how to make the best choices.
SOMEONE who is willing to ASK and converse with WE THE PEOPLE.
Someone that cares about protecting our borders and illegal immigration. Someone that can relate to the cia to solve issues patrioticly in the best interests of this country. Someone that will rid the country of electoral votes, 1 person 1 vote, and someone that will allow the public to choose who counts the votes, just pulling them randomly from a list of willing citizens and they must not know those citizens personally.
Someone that has the courage to apologize for the atrocities of this nations government in other countries. Someone who will mind this countrys affairs, more than the other countries by far. Someone that will take us out of the UN and this free trade garbage. Someone that will out law pornography, which will greatly cut down on sex crimes . Someone that doesnt make judgement without knowledge. Someone that can work effectively with a TEAM (congress)
Someone that can see the truth about Israel, and the palestinian conflicts. Someone that listens to our military leaders , not replace the ones that are right. I could go on, a nd on about this countries inner problems in government. Before anyone decides to judge me , or call me racist, or complain, or make assumptions about me. Here is some basic knowledge before you start. I am a polish blooded american born woman and search for the truth before I make assumptions, and do not speak or write without knowledge of what I am talking about. You should also research information, before you write and spew your hatred and ignorance on line in these rooms, inciting peoples anger just for the sake of feeling better about your lack of wisdom.

Answer 2

People who are energetic but willing to let go.

There is always a lot to do for the leader of any country or state. But many people in power think they have to make work. Many voters expect their leader to be doing something.

There is a saying, "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." So many national leaders violate this important principle, in extreme cases with tragic consequences. Most will know whom I am talking about.

Answer 3

Honesty, Loyalty, Intelligence and Temerity
Charisma is nice but not as important as the others.

A good leader in the political arena represents their constituents.
They should be voting for and proposing bills and laws that are what the people they represent want and need.

( for any who dont know the word temerity - 'the trait of being willing to undertake things that involve risk or danger; "the proposal required great boldness".
The right thing to do is the only thing to do and they shouldnt be afraid to do it.)

Answer 4

Political leaders:
1. Lie with a straight face
2. Spend money like it was water
3. Believe that they are superior to the peasant class.
REAL LEADER:
1. Watching after the welfare of your people
2. Doing the job you are supposed to be doing
3. Making way for a stronger leader when one comes along

Answer 7

What an EXCELLENT question!!!

I wish I had a better answer.

I know that historians have recently rated presidents on six factors, including "emotional intelligence." Here is the only cite I could find easily:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/choice2004/leadership/schlesinger.html

Character, and not mere positions on the issues, does matter, because no one knows what a president will have to confront during his or her four years.

Truth be told, NO ONE is ever fully prepared to be president. You have to learn on the job!

PS More on "emotional intelligence" - I will bookmark to read also!
