THREE QUALITIES OF GREAT LEADERS

THREE QUALITIES OF GREAT LEADERS 

There are three qualities possessed by great people. I discovered one myself while two were conveyed to me by my father. These qualities are:

*Speaking
*Writing
*Dancing

SPEAKING:
Speaking is an act of the head through the mouth. The reason while there are a few good speakers is because there is a talent of speaking and there are talented people for it. Every great leader is required to have the quality of good speech. Through this ability good followers are maintained. Examples of leaders who could make impact through speaking include: Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Michael Okpara, Adaka Boro, Tafawa Balewa the golden voice etc
A leader may be loaded with good intentions, but if he lacks the ability to convey these intentions to his people through the language power, he will be misunderstood and the visions dead. If any leader wishes to move forward, the power of speaking is necessary.

WRITING:
Writing is a demonstration of the inner conviction through the use of the pen. The writer might not really be in the position of leadership at the moment, yet he is equipped with suggestions on how the leadership positions are run. In most cases, if he suddenly finds himself in a position of authority, his first actions are mainly based on his writings. Writing is not ordinary. Writers convey internal messages through writings. Consider this, all well-known world leaders are writers. Their writings are based on how best they wish the world is arranged. A writer is a generator of ideas. The generation of ideas is beyond the ordinary. That is why real writers don't lack ideas to convey. His ideas may not work in accordance with your expectations but any idea conveyed is for somebody. When a nation is led by a man that has no ideas to convey in writing, the nation fumbles.

-Out of the abundance of the heart the hand writes....

DANCING:
I discovered this quality myself. I realized that every work of music has a suitable dance style for it. In Nigeria today, we have different names given to different dance styles and people easily identify each style whenever it's displayed. Probably, the reason I display so much respect for dancing might be because I am not gifted in the area. However, I have realized that dancing is also a physical  demonstration of what happens inside of the dancers. For dancing to be interesting, the body rhythm must be moving in agreement with the music or drumbeat. That is an art. When people shake their bodies and millions of people emulate them all over the world, that is greatness.

Note, dancing can be ambiguous. Anything one does to entertain or influence the people can figuratively be termed dancing. Hence, every leader may not necessarily be involved in physical dancing but every dancer is a leader.

-Out of the abundance of the heart, the body moves....

In conclusion, these are three attributes identified in leaders. Try as much as you can to identify more.
