Well, I don't think that saying directly relates to being a leader but actually a soldier, I like this expression related to being a leader: "A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others see"

=== 1 I think that who makes this question does not have the characteristics of being a leader. === 2 I also think that many leaders have been leaders for the evil, and not for the good. Sometimes accepting a leader is based on emotions, which might well be in deep contrast with rationality and wisdom.

a leader is a man of good ambition and genius and efforts,of course,your situation also counts

i remember my teacher said, being a leader is not inborn or natural to the person. We can learn it. : ) but i dont know exactly how..
