*A leader is a servant to all. If you don’t have a heart to serve others without looking for reward, *you are not a leader*

If you can’t withstand criticism and you can’t withstand and survive the havoc of hate speech, *you are not a leader .*

If you don’t have the power of forgiving and forgetting, *you are not a leader.*

If you stop doing good because nobody recognizes your kind gesture, *you are not a leader*

If you see your followers making mistakes, but you keep quiet saying, “If they don’t call me for advice, I will allow them learn by experience.” Your attitude depicts that *you are not a leader*

Do you have the *Pull them Down syndrome?* When you see someone doing better than you,

A genuine leader should not desire the downfall of his followers who are better than him.

If you close doors for your subordinates because you are afraid they will be far better than you, *you are not a leader*.

If you don’t produce your kind. You are the only champion doing great and mighty things, *you are not a leader*.
Never forget that every good leader must have a better successor.

*As a leader, you must feed on knowledge.* Don’t be stagnant, improve yourself so you can make impact.

*As a leader, be a ladder for others to climb to the top.*

*Be humble,* let them learn from your mistakes. Do not watch them grope in darkness when you can guide them as a light.

*A leader should be compassionate.*

*A leader should have the heart of a father.* A father leads and ensures his family is safe

*A leader should have the heart of a mother.

Don’t pretend to know your followers are suffering

*A leader should not allow evil people to make him wicked.

*A leader should not allow evil to prevail in his or her team because of his personal interest.*

*A leader should not be partial in judgement.*

Be a voice to the voiceless in the society and have the loving heart of a leader?

Start creating more leaders. Inspire and motivate people in your team.

Remember charity begins at home.

Don’t just be a leader, be a great one.

Remember what is worth doing at all is worth doing well.

*Score yourself if you are a Leader*
