Effective Leader

The most effective type of leader for me is someone who is motivating.  They are able to make me do things which I didn't think were possible.  A leader to me is someone that is intelligent and knows what they are talking about, and is able to make others around them better.  They are confident in everything they do and are fully committed to all of their actions.  An effective leader for me is someone who is inspiring.  They need to be commanding and harsh when needed, but also compassionate and sympathetic at times.  For me, a good leader is someone who knows how to motivate their followers and is able to make those around them better.
