What qualities do you like in a leader?

—As you grow and change throughout the course of your life, there are people that lead and there are people that follow. These people will pick up a particular set of qualities that will make them either become a leader or else a follower. Qualities that I look for in a leader are being able to take charge and make something happen when the project at hand is not going exactly the way planned or when someone just needs to take the lead and get something done. A leader is a person in charge, an organizer, the head of an event, boss, or director, etc. A leader needs to be understanding and be able to help those that fall behind or those that have a hard time concentrating or keeping up. A leader will go back and account for those with problems; they will be an extra hand to anyone that is in need.
