A leader must be charismatic because it is the only way he can motivate the group to act towards its goals without having to use his power abusively.

I also believe that Manuel is right; a leader definitely must believe in himself.

Pedro said...

A leader should be just and wise, and I agree with Gabriela when she says a leader should take others opinion in consideration when he says that a leader should

Filippo: What if the leader DOES make a bad decision?

Gabriela: Wouldn't someone who listens to everyone's opinion all the time kind of be like a puppet?

Cynthia: True... Hitler and Trujillo had excellent leadership skills.

Pedro: Just and wise? So, sometimes making decisions which could hurt people be accepted?

Luis: Should know when to make right decisions... how about which decisions to PICK?

Armando: From what I have read and learned in History, Trujillo was extremely charismatic.

Daniel: Why do you say he/she should be rough?

Ivan: Caring? What about being a little bit tough?

Manuel: What happens when they DO make a bad decision?

Vicente:

I think that a leader should be someone wise and prudent at the same time. This way he would be able to see which decisions could bring a good outcome and which ones wouldn't.

Mr Ruiz, having charisma is the most important trait. Imagine someone trying to lead a group of people who totally hate him. However, this is not the only important trait. Trujillo had charisma but the people still hated him because he was very selfish. So empathy is another important trait. Perhaps, if Trujillo had felt empathy for others, he could have been one of the greatest leaders of all time.

Ana T. Garcia said...

Daniel, how can a leader be selfish and selfless at the same time?

A leader should be fair and just.
For example if a crime is commited it doesn´t matter what type of person it was that person should punished fairly.

I agree with Ana Teresa that a leader should be prudent.

Cynthia said...

Mr. Ruiz
That is exactly my point, since Trujillo and Hitler had leadership they were able to get very far. It is true that in the end they both abused their power but I never said that leadership was the only quality a leader should have, I only said it is an important one. Without leadership, a person would never get that far; but a leader should also be wise and trustworthy.

Cynthia said...

Ana, it is true that a leader must be prudent but that doesn't ensure that the outcome of his decisions are going to be good.

Ana T. Garcia said...

Cynthia, it is true that even a prudent person makes mistakes, because nobody is perfect. But prudent people usually think a lot before acting and consider every possible solution they can find. And usually, premeditated actions have better outcome than rushed and impulsive decisions.
