For years the business industry has attempted to determine what makes a great leader with the intention of replicating the same and teaching it in classrooms that are meant to shape the new generation of great leaders.

Some of the characteristics that have been provided to describe great leaders include having faith in their belief, being passionate about their mission, ability to make the hard choices with some level of self sacrifice, ability to earn the respect of their team, knowing the weaknesses and strengths of their team, having understanding that the people are the source of their success, having ability to articulate a clear vision, encourage people to accomplish their best, and serve a great cause.
