I still believe a leader has all of the qualities I have previously written, however I also believe that a leader will surround themselves with a group of people who can work together efficiently and can make up for each others missing abilities. This makes up the perfect team.

A person with strong leadership qualities has excellent communication skills, a strong work ethic and a desire to do better. They know how to delegate power, give credit where its due and urge their fellow workers/group members to do better. They know what needs to happen and they dedicate as much time to it as needed until it is finished.
