Honestly, I believe that intelligence, despite being an important characteristic of a good leader, is not the only thing that defines a good leader. Over the course of history we have seen many different types of leaders. Some are cunning, intelligent, cruel, kind, and so much more. However, what separates the good and successful leaders from the bad? I believe that leaders should be able to understand the people that they guide and have the intelligence to be able to solve any problems that may arise in their community. A good leader should also be able to lead and guide their people without making their subjects feel like they are being oppressed of treated unfairly. I also believe that leaders, although fair and kind, should not be naive and easily controlled, since this leads to someone who may take advantage of the weaknesses of the leader and using them to their benefit. Finally, a good leader must be strong willed and confident, someone who is weak and hesitant, cannot possibly lead others and make others believe in them, when they cannot believe in themselves.
When choosing a leader for our Animal Farm Society Challenge we chose someone who would be able to keep our group on task. We also chose a person who would listen to everyone's opinions and guide us in the correct direction.
