"Leadership Qualities".

     "To be a good leader you need to have a vision of where you are going and understand how to unite people around you in seeing that vision. I think charisma is a very important part to leadership. I have never seen a really great leader who doesn't have some kind of charisma. Great leaders know how to take risks and are comfortable taking risks.

     Good leaders know when to cut their losses. Good leaders pass all the glory down so that the team feels great about winning, and when things go wrong they claim responsibilities. Really great leaders are willing to give the power to get things done to other people. They are not hoarders of power." 

     Those in authority often lack an appreciation or the nature of leadership. They tend to dwell on concepts that divide and separate people, rather than on concepts that reflect their inter connectedness and commonality.They become forgetful of purpose and values that explain why and what for. They have little awareness of the contexts of their office or their external environment that frames whatever it is they are responsible for.
