Blog Assignment #4: Leadership

questions: 1) What qualities or characteristics make a good leader? 2) Are leaders born or made?

1)

In my opinion, to be a good leader, we should try some thongs to make the group better.

First, a good leader must not discriminate. It is natural that a person dislike someone who can’t get along with him or her, but a good leader must be fair with the members. I think this is one of the most important quality of a good leader.

Second, we should try to know what people in the group want or need. Listen carefully to their opinions. Then we should not ignore the minority opinions. A good leader should try to make decisions that every member agrees them, however it seem  almost impossible.

             However, even if a person is fair with the members and try to make the best decision for everyone, if he or she has no idea to solve the problem or can’t persuade or discuss with the members about the problems, he or she will never make the best decision and be a good leader. Enough knowledge and discussion skills must be necessary for a good leader too.

2)

              I think both is true. Some people must have a talent for a good leader. On the other hand, I think it so hard for an ordinary person to be a good leader. Because he or she must improve the behavior. However, after the hard effort, ordinary people would also be able to be a good leader, I think.
