leadership

the challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; to be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not bully; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humour, but without folly.

indeed. although i have already received my 5 year good service award i am still learning what makes a good military leader. it is so difficult to be one because good is such a subjective term; it is impossible to please everyone and yet make tough decisions which seemingly go against group happiness.

it is an honour to be an officer, but officership carries along with it the burdens and obligations of leadership as well. recently i have been thinking about what does it take to be a good leader, do you have any ideas?
