Politics and leadership

What should a leader have? Administrative capabilities? Intelligence? Courage?

Empathy towards fellow human beings is the most important thing. If that is present the rest can be provided by any number of follwers who will be attracted by the empathy of the leader.

That is why a political party by IIT alumni need not necessarily be a success. Why a Kamaraj, Anna Durai, Indira Gandhi, and MAHATMA GANDHI become leaders? Not because of their admin or intelligence alone. But by connecting the those around them which makes the circle wider and wider.

Every one is stripped down to their bare bodies have near similar physical worries and stripped off their pretentions have near similar psychologicl needs. Recognising this a leader is bereft of hatred, anger and full of understand and love.

Is that not enought to attract human beings?

Name one person in India/ World who is such a leader!
