TheServant, on p. 37-38, lists ten qualities that people with authority (people who are influential, ones who other people will want to follow; see PowerVersusAuthority) should have:
- Honest, trustworthy
- Good role model
- Caring
- Committed
- Good listener
- Held people accountable
- Treated people with respect
- Give people encouragement
- Positive, enthusiastic attitude
- Appreciated people [should this be "appreciate"?] (appreciative?)
