Question

What qualifys someone to lead others?

Answer 1

Kind of hard to tell from your nation's leader isn't it.

Supposedly, leadership skills are involved and being in touch with the needs of the people you want to follow you, not to mention education and a high level of commicative skills along with lots of experience.

But obviously, sometimes big bucks and power can void out all that other trivial stuff.

Answer 2

Intention - are the person's intentions for the greater good?

Knowledge - This doesn't necessarily mean "book learning" - but the ability to talk to everyone and convey thoughts sincerely with reason (we don't need a leader to act upon his/her every whim and wish).

Empathy - To understand and acknowledge the pain of a single person or of an entire nation is certainly a task that makes a better lead... The empathetic one is able to help find a solution - and more importantly ACTIVELY BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION.
