I am drawn to Power. That doesn't mean monetary power, but confidence and security. The man who knows Himself well enough to spend the time getting to know me. He knows not only my great qualities, but my weaknesses. Okay, this is turning into my favourite quote, let me just grab it...\n\n“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, f!cked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”\n\nAnais Nin

well, I too am a JROTC cadet and when you prioritize things which means you put things in order of coarse. When your Drill team sees that the one put in charge is in control they are willing to work harder to acheive much more. "when they see your in control, they know their in control." leaders lead from example.

sex.\n\nthey say that power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.  corruption is almost always about gaining power of some kind - be it in the form of financial gain, political influence, or social status.\n\nthe dynamics of power are intimately linked to sex.  in most animals, sexual preference is given to the (usually male) member of the group who has the most power.  this is reflected in the relentless pursuit of power by those who also relentlessly pursue sexual gratification.  how many powerful leaders were also philanderers with immense sexual appetites?  why do powerful men acquire mistresses?  does anyone who hungers for success not also want the sexual rewards that are implicit in the "deal"?\n\nsex is the baseline motivator - the raw, primal instinct that guides this behavior.  if corruption is about power, and power is about sex, then corruption is about sex.

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

the question is what motivates them?

Great leaders don't sit around telling others what to do. They motivate by example.\n\nIndependent thought.\nA sense of responsibility.\nThey are willing to accept the consequences of their actions.\nThey LISTEN and CONSIDER, then make their own choices.\nThey want to see others succeed, as well as themselves.\nThey don't quit. They don't give up.\nThey learn from their mistakes instead of whining about them.\n\nThe two best examples of these traits I can think of would mean nothing to you; they are friends of mine.

Both are disrespectful and both are signs of insecurity.  A true leader has the confidence to lead by being a team member, not a dictator; and likewise, a true leader creates the same confidence in his/her team so that they can do whatever needs to be done and can handle whatever feedback comes from that performance without feeling devalued.

This is a wonderful quote - I'm so happy you posted it. Seems contradictory, doesn't it? How could someone who wants to lead be willing to have no one to lead? The best answer I can think of is to consider what people you would be most willing to "follow." Would it be a person like Mr "A," who makes it a point of letting you know that he thinks his way is the best and insists that you support him, or Ms "B," who simply decides on what she thinks is the best course of action and pursues it, even if no one else goes along with her?

I think it's a little bit of both.  It's a science because you have to manage finances, budget, efficiences but it's an art as well because you manage people and you can't treat people as just numbers on a ledger.  An effective manager is also a leader and leadership is definitely an art.

Allocating responsibility is usually a good motivator. That way they have to work for both themselves and the group's success. If you just take all the duites for yourself, that's when they'll be slackers.\n\nAs far as bosses, they'd rather see you take charge than chicken out and avoid blame. Just go for it.

Because they like power

well some use power for good and they make the most out of it to help . others let power go to their head and become evil and do evil things and forget about decency. or they just had an evil heart before they had power . or a good heart.

Someone has to, that's why. The "common" majority have ideals often based upon a value system that includes a sense of duty and integrity. They fight for those "ideals" for idealistic reasons, believing that they, too, will eventually profit--either intrinsically or in some more tangible way. In our country, we have long held the belief that anyone can become a Leader; it is only after encountering the realities of our social and governmental power system that the idealistic become jaded and personal profit overshadows personal responsiblilty and integrity.

A great leader has vision. Put people first, a great communicator by translating the people needs. He/she must have wisdom that will dictate him/her the difference between power and right.
