Good Leaders

I just finished a graduate class on Leadership Principles and Ethics.

Here's an excerpt from one of the books I read:

Good leaders will consider the following questions:
1. “Consistency: Are you the same person no matter who’s with you?
2. Choices: Do you make decisions based on how they benefit you or others?
3. Credit: Are you quick to recognize others for their efforts when you succeed?
4. Character: Do you work harder at your image or your integrity?
5. Credibility: Have you recognized that credibility is a victory, not a gift?”
