This is the Sermon of Amir-al-Momeneen Ali (A.S) From Nahjul Balagha.
Sermon 130
Grounds for accepting the Caliphate and the qualities of a ruler and governor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"O' (people of) differing minds and divided hearts, whose bodies are present but wits are absent. I am leading you (amicably) towards truthfulness, but you run away from it like goats and sheep running away from the howling of a lion. How hard it is for me to uncover for you the secrets of justice, or to straighten the curve of truthfulness.
O' my Allah! Thou knowest that what we did was not to seek power nor to acquire anything from the vanities of the world. We rather wanted to restore the signs of Thy religion and to usher prosperity into Thy cities so that the oppressed among Thy creatures might be safe and Thy forsaken commands might be established. O' my Allah! I am the first who leaned (towards Thee) and who heard and responded (to the call of Islam). No one preceded me in prayer (salat) except the Prophet.
You certainly know that he who is in charge of honour, life, booty, (enforcement of) legal commandments and the leadership of the Muslims should not be a miser as his greed would aim at their wealth, nor be ignorant as he would then mislead them with his ignorance, nor be of rude behaviour who would estrange them with his rudeness, nor should he deal unjustly with wealth thus preferring one group over another, nor should he accept a bribe while taking decisions, as he would forfeit (others) rights and hold them up without finality, nor should he ignore sunnah as he would ruin the people."

What makes a great leader is when they care more about each person in the group that they are leading more than they care about themselves. When they will do whatever is right for the group, even if it hurts them. It's also when they can give someone criticism without tearing them down.

Lead by example, and remember that in most cases, folks can take care of themselves. Let them.
A great leader doesn't have to *try* to lead; people will follow.
Then again... maybe most folks don't need - or want, a leader. They only want their desires represented without having to deal with a tyrant.
