It’s sadly funny that people from all over the globe are being asked to write about the question, “What makes a good leader?” Why is that funny, sadly or otherwise?

It’s funny for two reasons. First, I wrote about the subject, coming at it from a slightly different angle, late last year in a post titled; “Could Be, Should Be? I do not highlight leadership in that piece, but successful, true leaders have the characteristics mentioned in the post.

Second, is the fact WordPress allows its users to reach around the world with their thoughts. Having some direct experience with other countries as well as studying politics and governmental operations in other countries, it is clear leaders and leadership can vary culturally and geographically.

Even as I write this, and later when others read it, there is clear evidence available to anyone paying attention that humanity’s understanding of leadership varies tremendously from one country and time to another.

In closing the piece referenced above, I mentioned several people who were and still are considered successful leaders in their time. Then I mentioned a couple who were considered infamous leaders in their time. All had very similar leadership characteristics.
