Leadership

We all admire good leaders. What qualities are vital for good leadership?
What made someone like Margaret Thatcher a good leader? Yet some might say she was too authoritarian. Too strong? Does good leadership require strong opinion?
Are flexible leaders too weak? Those who try to reach consensus too weak?
 
To me a good leader is willing to go where he/she expects others to follow. Jesus put it this way. "Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” Matthew 20:26-28 NKJV
 
Margaret Thatcher. Tough heartless women perhaps. But she got the UK back economically. She woke sleepy socialist Brits up. Spoiled by powerful unions and big bureaucracies.
Sometimes it takes an unpopular leader to give people the bitter medicine they need. Tough love.
Many would disagree. Saying she was evil. Despotic. I disagree.

Who?
Margie?
I always knew her to be a sweetheart...
 
A worldly leader often must have a different set of attributes/qualifications etc than a leader in the Kingdom of God. The world operates inverse of the Kingdom, therefore a leader in one must meet different requirements than one in the other.
In my life I respected leaders who led by example and integrity. I also respected those who never ask/demanded from those under them that which the leader wouldn't do himself.

What did you think of JFK? My brother worships him still.

I think he was a great leader in many ways yet had his faults/weaknesses as well. Women were his weakness. Setting up then abandoning the debacle at the Bay of Pigs a fault. On my personal set of worldly scales, he passes with an 8 outta 10.

I'm judgemental when it comes to a leaders private life. And JFK was a sex maniac. Fake Christian.
