There was this discussion at work about what makes a good leader and what is good leadership recently. My first thought about this was this is an every-now-and-then discussion topic that surfaces, hundreds if not thousands of books published about it and uncountable articles written. I posted something similar like this in a blog shared among colleagues; this is improved upon the original.
If you ask me for my 2 cents worth, this is what I feel a great leader should be:
He may not be your friend in good times but is your best friend in bad times.
He is whom you will seek advice from when lost; and whom you will follow when instructed, and whom will inspire you to go further than instructed.
A great leader is not really your friend, but can be your friend, and is more than your friend: He is your leader.
What do you think?
