Is a good leader a great leader? Of course!
But is a great leader a good leader? Not necessarily so...
Why do i say this?
A good leader have determination, guts, knowledge and most importantly, charisma to inspire and influence people to follow him. Charisma, a very useful and powerful trait indeed. Most of the past leaders always have charisma and is able to persuade and convince people to believe them. For example, Hitler is so successful because of his ability to lead. He can persuade and convince people with ease and people adores him. This is one of his reasons to success. However, Hitler may be a great leader, but not a good leader.
A great leader has done many great deeds and won many battles. He may be intelligent and have a great vision and passion, But he is not necessarily a good leader. Like Hitler, he is a great leader, done many great things, but he is not a good leader because he does not have moral values. Hitler was terrifying, not mad, but so embedded within his own neuroses that he came to be what is called evil. He was violent too, a result of his family background.
Now, if you had a choice, which leader would you vote for? A leader with moral values? Or a leader with charisma but no moral values?
Personally, I feel that I would vote for the leader with moral values. Yes, the leader with charisma has good traits, but he does not have moral values. What if he uses his charisma to persuade people to do bad. We would all be blinded by his charisma to notice the hateful mask that covers his face? However, the leader with moral values will do good for the people and not harm them. Hence, I feel that a leader with moral values is better than a leader with charisma.
In conclusion, I think that we should all choose our leaders carefully. Choose to follow the right one, the one that can make this world a better place.
