Leadership

Who is normally elected as leader - of a rather sensible and mature group?
(Just a few of the essential characteristics in a context where those with neither brains nor balls get elected!)

• A person of certain moral standing, capable of living an authentic life of witness. 
• One who has both, the humility to ask for help and the courage to demand responsibilities/duties be fulfilled by its members. 
• One who can consult as well as take sound decisions, and stand by them. 
• One who can demand privileges for the group when rightfully deserving, on the one hand and on the other, pull up its members for falling below certain accepted standards. 
• One who is respectful towards all but frightened of none but God. 

What if some of these or none of these are taken into consideration when election of a leader?  I suppose, it goes without saying the poor quality of leadership and in a sense, the level of maturity of the group.
