There are clear markings in a man that make a him a leader. An artist or a musician may produce fine work and by default attract a following, indirectly influencing people – sometimes stimulating and sometimes agitating them – but
this is not leadership. A person may have a clear vision to
accomplish some work, but unless they enthuse and inspire others, motivating them to work towards it with them, that is not leadership either.
A leader shares a common goal with those who follow him. He behaves in a manner that influences them. He has a character that can withstand difficult times as well as good, and possesses a personality that draws people to him.
