What makes a good leader?

I think being a good leader can be many things. An obvious aspect would be good communication; to get things across clearly and also know how to listen effectively. It is indeed a vital part of leadership. I think it is also being able to priortize and know what needs most attention without neglecting the details. Being able to pay attention to non-verbal cues is also a necessary characteristic of a good leader. Having the ability to sense certain vibes and having good perception of whether or not everyone is on the same page. In addition to being a good leader is also knowing when it is time to be led. I think it is not always necessary for a good leader to dominate every aspect. Receiving feedback and knowing how to utilize it is also important. Finally, I think that a good leader knows that the group that he/she is leading is the backbone, and without them, the leader would be nothing. So, communication with the leader and group members is key in being efficient. I think being a a good communicator is essential in being a strong leader, because you know how to handle differences in genders, races, cultures, and religions appropriately.
