Things get done quickly and relatively efficiently without the need to vote on things.  Since all of the power is with one person, if the one person is good, then things will be very good.  Of course, there's the downside if the one person isn't that great.

Scholars used to think that leadership was something that people are born with. The theory now is that leadership skills can be taught and improved through practice. If this was not the case leadership courses wouldn't exist, they would just pick the natural leaders all the time.

Leadership associated with a position of authority\nIn On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History, Thomas Carlyle demonstrated the concept of leadership associated with a position of authority. In praising Oliver Cromwell's use of power to bring King Charles I to trial and eventual beheading, he wrote the following: "Let us remark, meanwhile, how indispensable everywhere a King is, in all movements of men. It is strikingly shown, in this very War, what becomes of men when they cannot find a Chief Man, and their enemies can." [3]\n\nFrom this viewpoint, leadership emerges when an entity as "leader" contrives to receive deference from other entities who become "followers". And as the passage from Carlyle demonstrates, the process of getting deference can become competitive in that the emerging "leader" draws "followers" from the factions of the prior or alternative "leaders".\n\nThe United States constitution provides another example of recycling authority. In the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the American Founders rejected the idea of a monarch. But they still proposed leadership by people in positions of authority, with the authority split into three powers: in this case the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. Under the American theory, the authority of the leadership derives from the power of the voters as conveyed through the electoral college. Many individuals share leadership, including the many legislators in the Senate and the House of Representatives. [4]

The problem with communism is that it removes most of the incentives for a person to excell. If there is no reward for above average or better performance, why should you push yourself? What would be the point of trying to innovate in that kind of system?

Excellent answer Yellow!  If everyone plays a part and is clear on the group's goal, they are more likely to perform at their best.  Another key ingredient is good leadership; communicating what each member will do and the ultimate goal.  Coaching people in a positive manner and using lots of praise works well too.

A manager does the right thing. A good leader does things right. \n\nThe most important personal qualities of a leader is wisdom. Always able to apply the best possible solutions to resolve problems or maximize efficiency  (and this doesn't means always do things by the book but at the same time, he/she must able to do this appropriately)\n\nWith wisdom, a leader will be able to think wisely and bring the best out of everyone including themselves and create a close bond and enhance the morale for their team.\n\nTo be a good leader doesn't always need to be a expert in the feild of their work in fact some of the top leaders in history wasn't a expert in any field apart from leadership. They were very capable in dealing with human relation that they can hire expert in many field to specialize the field of work. \n\nOf course, being a knowledgeable leader is not a bad thing too but being a true leader is far more important.

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.

A practical leadership is preferable to any other sort, especially an ideological one ( which includes a theological leadership ). Politics is the art of the possible. When a leader approaches problems and opporutnities from an ideological standpoint, he or she automatically excludes anything which doesn't conform to the ideology she or he advocates. This limits their options and in today's reality especially, that can be hazardous in the extreme.

I tend to think there is a difference between being a "good leader" and a "good" leader.\n\nI believe that in order to be a "good" leader, one should have the following traits: a) do no harm to all forms of life that do not directly harm those they lead; b) be receptive to the thoughts, opinions and feelings of other human beings whether they lead them or not;  c) strive to help the people they lead to be more educated and self-sufficient at a pace in which they are most comfortable; d) be an objective judge when dealing with conflicting situations that arise from those they lead; e) overcome, or at least set aside any fears and prejuidices; f) approach other leaders with diplomacy and ensure that any agreements made with them benefit both sets of followers; g) have a seemingly neverending sense of patience.\n\nThere are people that have been leaders that have harmed those that followed them.  Examination of cult followings usually reveals this to be a valid case.  These people who have led others to take their own lives are "good leaders", with 'good' meaning being highly successful at having others do something they wanted them to do.  Usually these people are extremely charismatic and play upon others' fears, ignorances and religeous beliefs.

real leadership requires enough power to make it stick.  whatever decisions are made must have the ability to be applied to people.  whether power requires leadership as an outlet, i don't know.  sometimes the most powerful people are the quietest and humblest...mother teresa.\n\nhere's a discussion about your question you may enjoy while waiting for more answers...\nhttp://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_04.htm

The tone of the office is set by the leader.  If you don't have an ethical leader you can still behave in an ethical manner and maybe people will see that is the fair way to do things and they will follow suit. Then maybe you will find it.
