You have to lead my example...You have to look out for the welfare of the people that you lead and the decisions that go wrong you have to accept responsibility for along with the credit for the decisions that go right...in times of disaster you have to show compassion and be quick on your feet to save as many lives as you can...you have to be honest, strong and forthright...when you are right you go ahead...you're true to your priciples and you don't waver under the pressure of special interests or the lure of easy money or personal aggrandizement...the best leaders don't always step forward to serve...sometimes they need an impetus to spur them forward to take on the world and bring back Camelot...

There are really only three types of leaders:\nAuthoritarian- This type of leader is the "My way or the Highway type"\n\nTeam Builder- This is the type who chooses his team, trains them, is willing to get in the mud with his men, will never ask you to do something that he is not willing to do. Presents, the team with a problem asks opinions on solutions and makes the final decision based on his subordinates responses.\n\nWeak- This is the type of leader that is basically a figure head his men make the decisions, he has no back bone and his men constantly test his resolve.\n-kevin82abn

If you picture business as a large group of people all involved with the task of cutting down a path through a forest for the purpose of making way for a road. Up front, you have all the workers with axes, and saws busy cutting down trees. Good managers will count how many trees their people have cut each day, ensure they have the required tools, ensure their axes and saws are sharp and make sure they get paid. A leader is anyone in that group who has the courage to climb one of those trees, look around, look at the proposed roadmap, and if things don't look good, a leader has the courage to say, "Hey, we are cutting in the wrong direction.!"

Unfortunately, neither the President nor Congress nor the Supreme Court leads the United States today. Leadership requires integrity, honesty, reliablity, intelligence, compassion and focus. What this country needs is real leadership, but as long as all we're electing is Republicans and Democrats, we ain't gonna see it!

A good leader defines the mission clearly for his troops and gets everyone to agree that the mission can be completed. When changes occur, then clarity and buy-in again play a huge role in success.\n\nCan you create an incentive for performance? Can you measure performance? \n\nDon't reprimand someone in public. Do it privately. Don't yell. \n\nAsk questions of your troops rather than constantly making statements. Figure out how to ask a question to achieve the same thing you could achieve if you gave an order. This, again, is buy-in. \n\nThe best leaders assign the right work to the right person. The best leaders hire the right people for the right job and carefully cull the workforce for slackers.\n\nDon't be too friendly with your suborinates, but make an environment where everyone would say you were friendly and professional.

what do you mean by "ROLES"

I interpret that as...  If you can't take a path alone, without a cheering section... how can you lead a group of people.  You have to be able to do the right thing, with or without a support team.  A true leader makes his own path.

Everyone in an organization needs to fulfill a certain role. The president's role is to make the tough decisions that affect the outcome of the war. The field commander's role is to make the tough decisions that affect the outcome of a battle. The front line troops' role is to translate those decisions into decisive action that will ultimately win the battle and win the war.

Authority is granted, while leadership develops." \nLeadership is not a title. It isn’t having a louder voice or a more convincing style. Leadership comes from having a set of attributes that makes people want to work toward the goals you communicate and to follow the pace you set. I will describe this set of leadership attributes, as I see them, in the article below.\n\nFirst, let me tell you a story. I was bird hunting in the south not too long ago with a guide and his mule wagon. On one particular day, we wanted to take a shortcut, but the mules weren’t cooperating. The problem was, he was asking the mules to take a different path than they were used to following on a routine basis. After trying to encourage the two mules, my guide eventually hopped down from the wagon, talked to the mules eye-to-eye, then lead them on foot. They followed. The lesson I learned from that experience is that a good leader will recognize when he needs to hop down from the wagon and lead the way, particularly in a time of change from what is routine.\n\nSo what are these attributes that leaders have in common? Let me share my opinion. \n\nSELF-IMPROVEMENT\nI don't believe anyone can be an effective leader unless they are always working to improve themselves. People change, systems change, competitors, processes and economics change. Leaders who never change their habits and who fail to adapt will quickly become irrelevant. In addition, there is something endearing about a boss or a company CEO who is seen with a book under his or her arm. “If my leader is always striving for more, perhaps there is hope that I can grow, too.”\nI have a definition of leadership that I share with others in my company: Leaders have the ability to consistently capture, hold, and focus people’s attention on the mission — and their individual part in achieving it. At first glance, it is a simple definition. Only by breaking apart the sentence and further explaining the significance of each word can I truly express my philosophy of great leadership. \n\nCONSISTENCY\nConsistency is crucial. It means that day-in and day-out, the people you lead know you will get down off the wagon when necessary. Or put another way “you will walk the talk” Consistency means you completely understand that leadership is not a part-time job. Every action you take, decision you make, and criticism or praise you utter is observed and internalized. Leaders who are inconsistent in their behaviors have a hard time getting people to follow. Your people count on you to see the glass half full, with a plan in place to fill it the rest of the way.\n\nCAPTURE ATTENTION\nMost leaders are exceptional at capturing the attention of their people. That is to say, they are "captivating." What makes them so? They have a tremendous amount of positive energy, enthusiasm, and confidence. They have passion. Some have a sense of humor. Others are adventurous. While personal styles are different, the end result is people want to listen to what a good leader has to say. I have always thought that a leader could personify a captivating personality simply by following The Scout Law; scouts promise to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.\n\nHOLD ATTENTION\nTo be a good leader, you first must be a good follower. Those who aren’t interested in what others have to say are seen as narcissistic. The only way people will give you their continued attention is if they feel you have empathy for their lot in life, and are open-minded in how you view problems, opinions, and opportunities. Most importantly, people want feedback on how they are performing and how they can improve. I like to say that “feedback is the breakfast of champions”. Believe in people. Build them up. Never destroy them. Become a practitioner of public praise and private coaching. Do you celebrate victories with your people, no matter how sm

A true leader is one who takes intelligent action at the right moment to meet an urgent human need.\n\nA true leader is one who brings out the best in others, for example, the best player on a team is not the one who may get the most points, but the one who inspires the others on the team to be their best.\n\nEvery one of us is a leader when we do anything that helps another.  You are a leader if you walk down a street, for example, and smile.  Your smile may be contagious and help another.
