A leader is someone who guides others' thoughts and convinces them to adopt his or her views and beliefs. As a result, the leader has certain characteristics built into his demeanor that make him stand out from the crowd. One of these traits is a commitment to one's work. His enthusiasm shows through in both his job and personal life, which encourages others to imitate him. A strong leader never gives up and is fearless in the face of difficulty. Others are inspired and encouraged by him, and this brings out the best in them. He is not prejudiced or impartial, yet he does respect others' efforts.
