Willing Leader, Good Leader?
Here is an interesting food-for-thought - for a leader to be a “good” leader, must the leader be a willing leader?
Think about all those anti-heroes. The unwilling saviour. The reluctant chieftain. The accidental leader. If a person has strong leadership traits, have the competencies of a leader, gets the respect and fellowship of the people; yet am unwilling to lead. Will this person be a good leader?
In the modern world, we see candidates fighting for votes, colleagues vying for promotion, volunteers squabbling for power; they want to be leaders. Will they, because of their burning desire to lead, make a better leader than someone more competent, but unwilling?

A good leader is a teachable leader. Someone who doesn’t think they know it all but has the ability to humbly learn from others.
