Leaders can lead a lot of people because they are unusual. The main point is that each leader has his or her special traits which are different from ordinary people. And I think there are three important characters that leaders should have.
The first personality is strong perseverance. When people encounter greatly unequal and hard lives, they would need a leader to lead and tell them what they should do.And the leader would be faced with a lot of difficulties and setbacks when leading people to challenge trials and tribulations.Take Dr.Martion Luther King for example, he led black people to fight against the white unyielding government for the unfair racial segregation. Due to his extrodinary strength of will, he promoted the bill of civil rights.
The second is kindness. People would be willing to follow a kind leader. They believe that a kind leader would treat them as his or her children and always think of them. For example, Abraham Lincoln insisted on Abolition to fight for black people’s right. He thought all men should be treated with justice. And he also strived for preventing America from falling apart the American Civil War. His kindness makes him become the most adoring leader in America.
The third is generosity. A great leader has to give up many things, like his family, friends, money, and even his life. Of course, nobody hopes their leader is a selfish person. It is hard for people to contribute all their life to others but a great leader would be willing to do. Such as Gandhi, he found that Indian didn’t have any human rights and then he decided to give up his lawyer position, wife and even his former good life. He devoted his whole life to leading Indian to stand up for their rights and freedom. Finally, he was shot and killed by a Hindu radical. Gandhi spent his all life on India and becomes the greatest leader in Indian mind – Mahatma.
A leader is not easy to be , and is not also anyone can be. According to all of the above, if you want to be a leader, you should have three personalities: perseverance, kindness, and generosity first!
