Great Political Leaders
Great political leaders have all of these qualities - and more. Each aspires to respect different views, analyze problems, and identify the best solutions - not based on loyalty to political party, but rather based on what is good and right and in the best interest of their community as a whole.
So what makes a good political leader?
A good political leader is:
• someone who serves as an example of integrity and loyalty to the people they represent, both to the public and to other political leaders .
• someone with good communication and inter-personal skills, who can work with a range of other people, regardless of political party or opinion, to achieve the greatest good for the general population.
• someone who can resist the various temptations and lures of the political arena
• someone of strong character, with both conscience and charisma
• someone willing to listen to the needs of the common people and to represent them faithfully
• someone with the courage to stand up and say what needs to be said – rather than just tell the general public what it wants to hear
• someone who is willing to make difficult (and possibly unpopular) decisions for the greater good.
Accountability is crucial to effective political leadership, as without this, there will be no respect from the followers. A good political leader is someone who will be honest and responsible for their own actions and decisions and who is willing to admit when they have made a mistake. They will focus their energies and time on representing the people rather than spending all the time “covering their backs” and criticising others.
