Good Leaders

Good Leaders
What I think makes a good leader is love and devotion to the people they are leading. I think there is a difference between just being a leader and being a true leader.

A leader is simply a person who leads people or controls people. It doesn’t depend on how the leader leads his people so long as they are the one leading the people. A leader could contol his people by force or military might or they could lead his people through money. A leader could lead his people by manipulation or bribing the original leaders to gain control. They could also lead by trickery or false teaching.

A true leader would lead by true teaching and compassion for their people. A true leader would not use military might or money to keep control or his people. They wouldn’t even control their people, just try to nudge them to the path that they either know or believe as right. A true leader would set a court system to rule over the people. A true leader tries to inspire their people with correct teachings.

I think that a good leader would be someone who puts courts into each city to keep order over the people and churches among them to teach their religion. I think that a true leader would also build an army to protect their people from invading forces. I think that a true leader would be open to suggestions and would still be within the law meaning able to be punished for wrong doings. I think that a true leader would be among their people instead of higher than their people.
