MY TOP 5

I know what everybody thinks. In order to be a leader, you must have all of these traits. To be brave, honest, selfless, wise and peaceful. And of course everybody has their own opinions so this is mine. Here is my TOP 5.

 

 

 

TOP 5: ERUDITE
It's not that I don't like Erudite, it’s just my least favorite. An Erudite has a tendency to be "the smart guy". He might know everything but who likes a know-it-all? Also, an Erudite are the most likely to be the cause of corruption. They are thirsty for knowledge which leads to lust for power. They can easily manipulate people with their intelligence which is why it would be hard to trust an Erudite.
 And being smart doesn't make people a better person, it just makes them smarter.


TOP 4:AMITY
Amity is my Top 4 because I like the idea of peace. But we are not going to be peaceful if we let others take advantage of us. An Amity is too soft to be a leader. They trust and forgive quickly which can make others take advantage of their idea of “peace”.  They are too gullible to be a leader which is not a quality leader.
 The most powerful weapon you can use is the instrument of peace, use it wisely.

TOP 3:ABNEGATION

Top 3 is Abnegation because what many leaders today need is selflessness. And I mean GENUINE SELFLESSNESS. Many leaders convince themselves that what they’re doing is selfless but actually, they are doing it for their own sake which is called selfishness or vanity. Also, being too selfless is a negative trait. Taking the opinions of other people is not always the right thing to do. Sometimes, they need to think of the decisions they’re making.

Think of not what the people want but what the people need.

 

TOP 2: CANDOR
“Honesty is the best policy”. Top 2 is Candor because they would take anything to get the truth out. Today, we also need HONESTY and TRANSPARENCY. It is such a huge issue today because it is what the people wants. Compared to the others, they can determine what’s right from wrong.  The only negative side of being a Candor is being too blunt which is not such a bad thing because in politics or any leadership, you don’t need to be the “nice guy”, you have to be the “right guy”.
  “The truth first before anything”, a Candor would say.


TOP 1: DAUNTLESS
 Guts is everything. Even if you have the first four attributes, if you’re not brave enough to fight for what you believe in, it would take you nowhere. Being brave is believing yourself over others. If you don‘t convince yourself, you wont convince anyone. But whether you like it or not, everybody needs fear because it’s what challenges us to be better at something. Being stubborn is also not a good thing. Well, sometimes it is but only when you are really 100% sure that you are right but if you’re not, you might have some problem.

Just like Jose Rizal’s philosophy, you can’t be peaceful if you don’t fight for what you believe in.
