Nowadays,it seems that everybody wants to be a leader.Countless books about how to manage a company or influence others fill bookstores.But one needn’t be a CEO or politician to be a leader.Former U.S.President John Adams said,“If your action inspires others to dream more,learn more,do more and become more,you are a leader.”

　　The key to becoming such a leader lies in character.People follow only those whom they respect,trust and admire.What attractive traits does such a leader have?Below are five of the most important.

　　Leaders have courage

　　The New York firefighters who ran into the burning World Trade Tower to rescue others are modernday models of courage.Yet even more than physical courage,the everyday demands of modern life require moral courage.Insisting on doing the right thing despite pressure to act otherwise takes such courage.

　　Leaders must face fear and doubt in many of the decisions they make.Having these feelings doesn’t mean one isn’t courageous.After all,courage is not the absence of fear.Rather,it’s doing the right thing despite one’s fears.

　　Leaders are humble

　　Being humble simply means having an accurate view of one’s own limitations.Everybody has limitations.Leaders deal with theirs by seeking help from others.

　　When leaders seek help,they recognize the skills that order other people bring to the table.And when they are successful,leaders generously praise all who contributed to the success.Humble leaders don’t promote themselves;they promote others.
