What makes a good leader?
I think there are some qualities that make a good leader.
First and foremost, a leader must be a good communicator and be able to speak and write well, communicating the wishes of those they represent. I used to be a leader in mental health and enjoyed the writing ✍️ and creative side, but I disliked public speaking. It made me nervous and anxious.
A good leader must have empathy and compassion as their most important qualities. A lack of empathy would make a leader not good and untrustworthy. Having empathy and compassion is imperative in a leader. Being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes is a must. You must understand people and genuinely feel for them.
A leader must be flexible and have the courage to stand up for their beliefs. A good leader has to put the needs of others before their own.
A good leader must be honest and trustworthy and be of good character. They should also have a certain charm that draws people to them.
The whole concept of what makes a good leader fascinates me and makes me reflect on my time as a leader and role model in mental health. It was a good time in my past, and I have many good memories of working alongside some people who were excellent leaders and left their imprint on my life.
