Brute intimidation only works as long as you can stay top dog.  But rest assured, too much of that, and the natives get restless and boot your sorry a$$ when they get the chance.\nA good leader must lead, whether he is popular or not, but work for the common good of his people or his company.\nSo in effect, the best leaders use both qualities to the best advantage depending on the situation to be tackled.

Not one specific person I could pick, just characteristics. I would like to be more patient, selfless, motivated, kind and thoughtful. But hey if you identify things, at least you can work on them.

a team leader and a team player can be 2 different things - a team leader should be innovative and have good social skills.  They should be able to listen and problem solve.\n\nA team player needs to just be able to work well with others.  A team player is someone that pulls their weight, and shares in the process.

A good leader should make people feel as though they are part of something greater than themselves.  This leader should keep an open ear and make decisions that are in the best interest of the group.  The leader should also know when they are not needed and should stand back when the group is doing well.

I think selflessness and leading by example are the keys.\n\nselflessness= doing more for your people than you would for yourself. Going out of your way to serve.\n\nleading by example=doing everything you preach, being the first in line to act as you say others should

being smart; active, building contacts, taking risks, working in some really business related firms; and most of all; be creative, aggressive and self confident is always good in the business relations; also being the first of doing things knowing about politics; and luck have a good role in this; but not most of them are not really pure or worked hard for it; many took it through bad things; or inherited good fortune from their parents...anyway; contacts are everything

A good leader defines the mission clearly for his troops and gets everyone to agree that the mission can be completed. When changes occur, then clarity and buy-in again play a huge role in success.\n\nCan you create an incentive for performance? Can you measure performance? \n\nDon't reprimand someone in public. Do it privately. Don't yell. \n\nAsk questions of your troops rather than constantly making statements. Figure out how to ask a question to achieve the same thing you could achieve if you gave an order. This, again, is buy-in. \n\nThe best leaders assign the right work to the right person. The best leaders hire the right people for the right job and carefully cull the workforce for slackers.\n\nDon't be too friendly with your suborinates, but make an environment where everyone would say you were friendly and professional.
