Question: What does it take to be a good leader?
What does it take to be a good leader? This is the question that leaders and people have been asking themselves for centuries. Well, the person needs to have good qualities like kindness, patience, and knowledge. But what about the appeal and respect to and from the people? There are so many answers to this question that it’s hard to answer with just one.
I think a good leader needs to be present in the lives of the people he or she is leading. For example, president Obama makes lots of addresses to the media and directly to the people so that he can stay connected with them. The people need to know what is going on in the government, and Mr. Obama is trying to do that, by being a good leader. A good leader also needs to respect the demands/requests of their people, like a democratic leader. Another example is the congress we have in our government today. They are delegates from every county in America, so that they can voice the opinions of the people, even from small towns. The congress tries to pass laws to help the people, and that way the president can know what all the people want, from every political party.
It is impossible to have a perfect leader, they will all make mistakes, but it takes so much to be at least a good one. Kindness, respect, being present, and even just being a good listener just to name a few traits of a good leader. I also think they need to be able to take control of a situation as well as be compassionate, and so much more are what it takes to be a good leader.
I really like your topic sentence. It says what the paragraph is about, and you are sharing your opinion. In the second I like how you gave an example of what Obama does. I also agree that leaders should make present to the public. I like that you shared your opinion in the end of the blog.
