Leadership

What constitutes a good leader? Are there bad leadership styles? Do we need leaders? I think the best way to be a leader is to be the support system, or the glue if you will, of the team. By trying to keep everything together, A leader would garner respect from his crew, and be viewed as a strong leader because his crew likes him. Furthermore, more people would be willing to work if they think their contribution makes a difference. I think that this would only work for leading a small group of people. For leading a country, for instance, I would have no idea what to do. Though I suppose if anyone truly knew that, the country wouldn't have as many problems as it does. Of course there are bad leadership styles. Leaders like Lenin and Stalin may have been effective, but they were by no means good people. But it could also be debated that since they got so many things accomplished, were they bad leaders? I would venture to say that they were, since the people they led probably did not like them. And I also think that civilization would not exist without leaders. People need to be told what to do, or else they will act out in chaos. I think that people are too greedy not to have rules.
