What are the most important qualities a leader must have in today's society?
"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail"(Harold R. McAlindon). In order to be a good follower you will have to do what you are told. By doing what you are told allows you to get the understand that there are current rules that are meant to be followed. When you are a good follower you do what you are told not because you have to but because you have love and respect for your leader. Your love and respect for someone or something shows though your actions. By doing this, it would make it easier for you to understand what you would need to do when you are the pathfinder. Basically, in order to be a pathfinder you would have to remember back to when you were a follower and see what you have to do to become the leader you are today.
I remember in Elementary School, every week we had a different line leader. We changed line leaders because my teacher wanted to give everyone the opportunity to be a leader. When you in Elementary School being the leader meant making up games to play during recess, making sure your team won the kick ball game, but most importantly make sure you are always respectful to your peers because your classmates were always watching.
To be a good leader in today's society you will have to be willing to follow rules, stay focus and be a good listener. Being the pathfinder does not mean your ideas are the only one that matters. When you take the role of an explorer you are under the understanding that everyone ideas are equal and they all deserve equal amount of respect.
When being the path finder you have to keep faith with the past, understand that even though you have successful gotten through things in the past doesn't mean forget about, allow that to be an lesson learned. You will also need to keep step with the present, don't dwell in the past , learn from it but don't repeat it, allow it to be your map to where you need to be. The past matter and remember it can have a huge impact in your future.
The quote "The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men, the conviction and the will to carry on" by Walter Lippman, explains that you would only know if you were a good are a pathfinder, the explorer etc. when after you are die and gone your legacy still stand strong. Pathfinders that could support this quote are, Martin Luther King Jr, Malclom X, Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall, and etc. these men and women showed leadership even through is was hard but by them having the courage to stand for what is right, allows us to have things we have in this decade.
