| 61. I never defined a leader, but ok here goes.. |
|
Some aspects I look for in a leader is one who can join the people together, sets common goals, outlines the how's and when's.
Teaches those that just can't understand, explains the situation that is before us for those that do.
And yes on occasion gets angry at offending parties, be whatever the offense is, if justified. Not anger for angers' sake.
We had eight years of that.
A leader is one that can voice not only the popular view, but can embrace the opposition looking for the good traits in their views.
And once again, a leader talks to his people.
Being married for 35 years, to the same dear woman, I feel conversation is the backbone in any relationship. Talk, listen, empathize, govern.
Probably listening being the most important.
I also stated more than just "daily chats". Re-read. We got more from him during the election campaign.
Thank you for your response.
