Leadership Qualities
"Moral, Instruction and Leadership," Brevet Colonel J.F.C. Fuller, D.S.O., Journal of the Royal United Services Institution, Vol. LXV, February to November, 1920
Leadership presupposes two things: — A leader, and men capable of being led. A stag cannot lead an army of lions; a lion cannot persuade an army of stags to follow. What then is required? A lion leading lions. In other words, the qualities of leader and led are very similar. The chief of these qualities are: —
(1) Knowledge.
(2) Skill.
(3) Determination.
(4) Endurance.
(5) Courage.
(6) Cunning.
(7) Imagination.
(8) Confidence.
No one is greater than the other, but the first of all is knowledge.
