thoughts on leadership

[2eclipse]

i have been doing a lot of thinking about this subject lately. So i'm wondering...

Do you see yourself as a leader in your workplace, social group, family or community?
What are the leadership skills you value most in yourself? in others?
Do you like leading or do you prefer to follow?
Do you think the same things make for a good leader of a small group and a large group?
What makes for a bad leader?

Of course it doesn't mean that they tell you what to do. If they did that all the time, -they- would be the leader. Yes, you do have to tell people they are wrong some times... AND if you DON'T tell them WHY they are wrong, you are being a bad leader... Being a servant doesn't mean being a pushover... :)

And I think you can be an =effective= leader if you don't care about the project, but you wont be a =good= leader, or even a =long term= leader.
