What is the difference between a leader and a hero?
443644
A Leader sees the Big Picture and knows how to use his charm and powers of persuasion and intelligence to move forward, whether its business or politics or other.\n\nA Hero can be anybody. It just depends on how you view it. I think people that fight disease, hunger and hatred are Heroes, not just people who risk thier lives for others. A Hero is someone who isn't afraid to speak his mind, use his brain, or fight for what he/she believes in.

A tragic hero is an honorable protagonist with a tragic flaw, also known as fatal flaw, which eventually leads to his demise. The concept of the tragic hero was created in ancient Greek tragedy and defined by Aristotle.\n\nIt basically means then the main character or "hero" dies.

Good question. Most of the time the word "hero" is used when someone does get killed by doing something good. But in movies,the ending can ruin the whole movie if the hero dies.

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

Terrorism.  Fighting against a uniformed military or government is always easier than a nameless, faceless cowardly ideology.  Cold war leader knew that if a thermonuclear war occurred, they would be destroyed as well.  Terrorist follow a leader who hides in the shadows and tells it's followers to kill and die for their cause.  It's always harder to kill an enemy that lurks in the darkness,

charisma--to influence others to follow\nwisdom--to know the right thing to do\nintegrity--to do the right thing\n\ni think a good leader has a mix of all of these characteristics.  here's an answer i gave earlier today\nabout the six pillars of character, it's very detailed, maybe more what you wanted...\nhttp://www.josephsoninstitute.org/MED/MED-2sixpillars.htm

To me heroes are people who do selfless acts without expecting something in return not because it's the right thing to do but because doing so makes them feel fulfilled.

define?\nit depends upon the cultural standards and the perception of each individual.\nWhat is the current situation?\nA "hero" is a hero to only a few sections of the general populace.\nNo one has ever been accepted by everyone.

A practical leadership is preferable to any other sort, especially an ideological one ( which includes a theological leadership ). Politics is the art of the possible. When a leader approaches problems and opporutnities from an ideological standpoint, he or she automatically excludes anything which doesn't conform to the ideology she or he advocates. This limits their options and in today's reality especially, that can be hazardous in the extreme.

a leader does not command others to follow him. People follow leaders who have proven themself

A true leader is one who takes intelligent action at the right moment to meet an urgent human need.\n\nA true leader is one who brings out the best in others, for example, the best player on a team is not the one who may get the most points, but the one who inspires the others on the team to be their best.\n\nEvery one of us is a leader when we do anything that helps another.  You are a leader if you walk down a street, for example, and smile.  Your smile may be contagious and help another.

A leader is someone who has a vision and the ability to convince others to follow that vision. A manager is someone who helps to implement and oversee the strategies and plans of a leader to make sure the vision is carried out.\n\nThink of the leader as the the "Captain of a Ship"...the captain determines the destination and has a vision of where the organization as a whole is going.  The manager might be thought of as "the first mate", they ensure that the leaders wishes are carried out, by assigning the crew specific actions to reach the goal and ensuring that they do their jobs.  The Captain/Leader charts the course and the First mate/manager carries out the actions needed to get to the destination.

A live coward. I can always try to support heroes - and through them be heroic. But once I'm dead, I'm D-E-A-D. Who the hell would I be of any use to then?

A manager does the right thing. A good leader does things right. \n\nThe most important personal qualities of a leader is wisdom. Always able to apply the best possible solutions to resolve problems or maximize efficiency  (and this doesn't means always do things by the book but at the same time, he/she must able to do this appropriately)\n\nWith wisdom, a leader will be able to think wisely and bring the best out of everyone including themselves and create a close bond and enhance the morale for their team.\n\nTo be a good leader doesn't always need to be a expert in the feild of their work in fact some of the top leaders in history wasn't a expert in any field apart from leadership. They were very capable in dealing with human relation that they can hire expert in many field to specialize the field of work. \n\nOf course, being a knowledgeable leader is not a bad thing too but being a true leader is far more important.

well,  it depends if they were close to me or not.  being a leader is something that i do in a job.  i try to be fair with friends and family. and I'm always open for suggestions, from co-workers and friends.  so if asked, i would just be more polite about my bossiness

It depends on whom you ask it to. Some people would say "yes, I liked to be inspired by heroes". Other say "no, I don't need someone like that."\n\nIt also depends on whom you consider to be a hero and whom not. For instance, one of my biggest heroes is actually an historian, James Loewen, because I admire his great courage concerning what he writes about.\n\nAnyway, those are just my thoughts. :)
