What is good Leadership?

I need answers to this very important question!
What is good leadership? What does this mean in your part of the world?
What do you consider to be good leadership for building capacity in your
communities locally? What does good leadership mean at the global level in
dealing with the many challenges such as HIV/AIDS and poverty reduction?

For instance, Jane talks about good leadership regarding poverty
reduction: "Good leadership is also a prerequisite. A good leader who has
a heart for the people would work to better the lives of its citizens and
thus look for ways to improve the standard of living of the people."

I am researching what good leadership means to different people around the
world and I would like to hear from others on this forum.

listen
Hi Henry. as the most active member of TIG, you definetly deserve my first comment..
I´ll give you a short subjective overall answer to your question about leadership..
Leadership can be understood in many ways..from the parent leading the child, the employer leading emploees to the politician leading society. In all regards leadership is humans trying to put things in order, including and excluding matters of importance and priorities, planning and trying to make us develop.
I do believe that good leadership are based on
-Knowing weaknesses and strenghts of what you represent, mainly yourself, secondly the context in which you appear.
-How aware one are of the role of the leadership, awareness makes one able to fullfill what is expected, and reach the objectives.
-Ones ability to listen to others and show empathy skills.

hope my words can be helpfull to you in your research.

wow..its a good challenging question
leadership like ann put it, can be analysed from different levels, this can be politically, economically,culturally,socially, religiously mention others. All this type of leadership will depend on individual interest and upbringin,in my culture for example, some one who is well organised can make a good leader, yet economically, some one who is well off, can make a good leader. I think a good leader can be defined basing on the perspective one is ferering to. Politically a good leader should be knowledgeable,able to fight on behalf of the state, make deccisions that favour the state among others.

It is a challenge to summarise a good leader in a sentence though a number of statements can explain so.
