What it Takes to Be a Great Leader

Abstract

A great leader is a person, a firm, or an organization that always goes beyond the well-trodden paths or she or he does the classics in a truly excellent way. She or he leads a firm, an organization, or a nation in an unsurpassed way. A great leader is also limitlessly courageous yet politically wise; a great leader is a great organizer and she or he is responsive in the highest degree to the legitimate needs and expectations of other people, firms, or organizations; a great leader is greatly and truly passionate about what she or he does; a great leader always acts legally and ethically in the highest degree and unbendingly requires the same standards of behavior from other persons, firms, or organizations; finally, a great leader is authentically and greatly altruistic. Leaders are also certainly highly dynamic and highly energetic. A sluggish, subnormal person will never be a real leader. A great leader has great leadership DNA and she or he constantly learns in elite ways. In this paper, I deal with what it takes to be a great leader.
