Blog Post #3 - Qualities of a Leader

Intelligence is an important quality for a leader to possess, but it is not the only characteristic that he/she should acquire. Personally, I believe a leader should have the ability to make decisions that please the people and is fair. The actions and decisions made by the leader is crucial to deciding whether he/she is a good leader or not. Indeed to do the right actions and make notions best for the people, intelligence plays a key role. Without intelligence, the leader may not be able to what is best for the people or not make the right decisions. In addition, the power that the leader possess es must be used wisely and not be corrupted. Even though some leaders are intelligent, they use their power unwisely leading to the dismay of many people. All in all, I believe intelligence is an essential quality in being a leader, but the usage of power and their actions is also critical.
