Leadership can be found all over the world. Leaders are the generals leading their troops into battle, they are the Prime Ministers and the Presidents taking care of world issues, they can even be found on the sports fields leading their team to victory. There are two different types of leaders; there are the ones, who do good things for the people he or she is leading, and then there are the ones that are bad as humans but they are great leaders.

They would have to be able to take control of a situation and stay calm. They would have to be truthful and be able to keep a promise.

As well, they should be trustworthy because you do not want somebody leading you that you cannot trust. A leader should be somebody who can listen to other people and take suggestions. They must be passionate about what they are leading or it could just all fall apart. A leader must also be courageous and wise about what they are doing.

They do not do what the crowd is doing they take chances and go against the crowds. Take Winston Churchill...
