All leaders are afraid to lose power. That is their weakness. Their strength is that they can command an army and massacre entire races. Don't become a dictator, instead found your own micronation and rule over it.

Some are natural leaders and enjoy being in charge. Others lack self confidence and need control to feel secure.

Can you boil down a group of 250 million people (in the US - 1 Billion+ in China), to just a few leaders.\n\nPeople around the world are complex and individual, don't sell them short... in some countries they may have very little choice as to who their leaders are.  In most democratic countries governments ebb and flow with the passage of time... never perfect but hopefully improving in some areas as time goes by.

Most people would agree that this is true, to some extent, because characteristics of the environment and the people who are "led" are just as important as the leader. However, certain leader characteristics ARE important, such as personality traits and competencies. Nevertheless, even an "ideal" leader will fail to lead successfully if he/she is incapable of gaining a working understanding with his/her "followers", or if he/she has insufficient resources.

Because some people have good ideas, some have the ability to persuade others, some can make hard decisions easily. What sex you are doesn't enter into it. People with the aforementioned qualities should lead.

My boss right now is horrible because she is a punk! She lets her assistant basically set her mood for the day, and tell her what to do. I feel that any true leader (boss, supervisor, manager,...etc) should truly lead in their position not be lead.

real leadership requires enough power to make it stick.  whatever decisions are made must have the ability to be applied to people.  whether power requires leadership as an outlet, i don't know.  sometimes the most powerful people are the quietest and humblest...mother teresa.\n\nhere's a discussion about your question you may enjoy while waiting for more answers...\nhttp://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_04.htm

We have to be practical.

If you turn around and no one is following you, you are not a leader.  If people do not copy what you do and follow your lead, then they don't consider you a leader.

Nature never gave us on earth anything we didn't need. If you take a look at out cells, they are very creative, never work alone, constantly in harmony with eachother. \n\nCreativity:\n\nInspirations from unknown sources introduces creativity most ppl aren't evolved to lead. As trendsetters, rebellious or wahteverr, we tend to bring humanity into a higher reality.\n\nWe dont loose humanity it just changes.

A best practice for any leader is to lead by example. Unfortunately, not all do that.

You have to lead my example...You have to look out for the welfare of the people that you lead and the decisions that go wrong you have to accept responsibility for along with the credit for the decisions that go right...in times of disaster you have to show compassion and be quick on your feet to save as many lives as you can...you have to be honest, strong and forthright...when you are right you go ahead...you're true to your priciples and you don't waver under the pressure of special interests or the lure of easy money or personal aggrandizement...the best leaders don't always step forward to serve...sometimes they need an impetus to spur them forward to take on the world and bring back Camelot...
