I think that a leader is someone who can be trusted in difficult times. Leadership isn’t always smooth sailing, there is going to be times where people or ideas bump heads, and a leader is well prepared for these times to occur.
A leader is someone who is independent, but takes everyone’s opinions into account. A leader should know how to take hold of a situation with their independence, but should gather a group consensus. A leader is someone who cares about the people they are leading (looks at them as human beings). Without others ideas and input, power struggles will occur.
A leader is someone who takes charge of situations. They are not afraid to speak up for what is right. They are motivated and can organize and pull a situation/project together.
A leader is someone cares about a job being done correctly. They can execute a plan by seeing all the possible outcomes and choosing the best way to accomplish a task.
A leader is strong. They know their limitations and are willing to work on them (they know they are not perfect). They have been able to learn from the past and are motivated for the future.
A leader is someone who is approachable. They are someone you should feel as though you are able to talk and give your opinion to.
A leader is intelligent. They understand that they do not know everything, and will continue to learn new things everyday. They make rational, educated choices to get tasks accomplished.

I always find it interesting that, when asked about leadership, most people talk solely about positive traits. It is usually a foregone conclusion that the connotation of leader = good person will play out.
And then we remember Hitler.
