What quality you think is important in a leader?

It's not intelligence, it is i would say wisdom. Wisdom is something different from intelligence. It doesn't technically have to deal with being smart, it as to do with a over all source of quality of the mind. If i really have to name a leader that i find amazing and astonishing to my personal view, i would say Augustine or Muhammad. Recently i have been studying world history quite alot through the class and i feel that i have learned alot of things from the class. Augustine solved so many problems the past roman empire had with a overall quality of wisdom, which he was able to solve his senate problem by doing things in the back and correct problems where on the outside people think nothing have changed. He was able to control the whole court of senate and at the same time develop a huge empire that stretched all across Europe. Then we have Muhammad. Firm in belief and strong in wisdom who lead his followers of Allah into the golden age of Islam. He lost both of his parents, live in not necessary a state of isolation but he didn't had an easy life himself. He fought wars against Mecca, at the time the biggest nomadic tribes and through the long war, rallied himself more and more men to his cause. Then single handily surged a boom of expansion that devoured the Persian empire, the roman empire and the byzantine empire. All by this one man's belief that lead to wisdom, courage, and all kinds of things that is needed in a leader. It is people like these that could really make a difference. Any modern people i admire? not really, i don't see anyone with this same level of wisdom and ambition who can take a great leap. The world is in a state of lockdown. Not a whole lot could be changed because there are all kids of peace treaty that limits people. At the same time there isn't alot places that could lead to expansion. If Obama is to take out the filibuster, he might actually make some serious change in U.S and i would probably think him as a man of strong courage, but besides that now, most people are average.
