Prompt: What Are The Most Important Qualities A Leader Must Have In Today's Society? And Why?
The most important qualities a leader must have in today's society are: the drive to achieve, a positive attitude, and respect to others.
A leader must have the drive to succeed and be successful in office. He/she can not sit and just hope for something to happen. They have to make it happen. They can make that happen by having the ability to come up with a plan to improve the flaws they have in the government. A leader must also have the determination to achieve and put together a better government. A leader can not be a slacker. He/she must be a person who is "on top of their game."
A positive attitude is another ...
You are repeating ''leader" so often that your essay don't sound good.
Just read it aloud and you'll understand what I mean.
A positive attitude is another essential quality a leader must have in order to do well in office. A leader must see things in a positive light or else everything will not go as planned. For example, if a huge crisis was going on and a leader had a mind of a pessimist, he would scare "his people " into thinking the situation is way worse than what it really is. On the other hand, and optimist would look on the "bright" side and think positive and think of a way to overcome the crisis and assure "his people" that everything is OK. Which is something all leaders should do.
Respect is a quality that all leaders should have. When a leader is respectful, his people will respect him in return. The people want someone who looks out for their best interest as well as respect them. If a leader doesn't show respect or show that they care, no one will accept him/her as their leader.
A leader is a role model. One who sets positive examples for others. A leader who doesn't have the motivation, respect, and the right mind-set will not and can not do well in office. it's the ones who see the world as an optimist who will make great leaders.
I also consider that you should write better introduction: one sentences doesn't seem enoough for me.
I'm not a native speaker, so my suggestions might be wrong. You can take it or leave it. It's up to you.
respect for to others.
I think you should add some sentences to make that intro a full paragraph. Right now, instead of an intro paragraph you just have the thesis statement all alone.
A leader is a role model, on e who sets positive examples for others. ---- you didn't mention being a role model in that thesis statement you gave. If you list three items in the thesis statement, have three body paragraphs, and let each body paragraph start with a sentence about one of the three items listed in the thesis statement.
So, do this:
... a leader must have in today's society are: the drive to achieve, a positive attitude, and respect for others, and the ability to be a good role model.

As a leader, one must be able to get people to follow him. A leader also know as the president must have certain character traits. But the most important qualities a leader must have in today's society are: a vision, dedication, and integrity.
A leader must have a vision to where he can see his success. Which means he has have the drive to succeed and fulfill his vision. He can not sit and just hope for something to happen. He has to make it happen. This can only be possible if he use his creative mind to come up with a plan to improve the flaws that are in the government/organization. A leader must also have the support of the people. In order to do that, the leader must explain his vision to the people so he can get them to accede with him In other words, the leader must be a person who is "on top of their game."
Dedication is a quality that all leaders must have. When a leader is dedicated, he is committed. He does whatever it takes to finish his task no matter how much sleep he has to lose over it. With such commitment his people will respect him because it shows he cares for them. This kind of work ethics will inspire others to work hard and have the same dedication. Which is good because a leader is supposed to set positive examples for others.
Integrity is another essential quality a leader must have in order to do well in office. His actions must be the same as his feelings inside. This is a kind of person who can be trusted because he never veers from inner values, even when it might be expeditious to do so. And a leader must display integrity in order for his people to trust him because they can trust that his honest, reliable and looking out for their best interest.
A leader is a role model. One who sets positive examples for others. One who doesn't have a vision, dedication, or integrity as a quality wi
