The Philippines is going to elect another leader this coming May. Who deserves to be the leader among those contenders? Who has the qualities of an effective leader?

There are a lot of people that say leaders are born. Some say that leaders are made. Whatever your opinion on this, leaders should be ‘effective’ in their leadership and should be responsible to their constituents.

Let’s discuss some of the qualities of an effective leader and apply these qualities to the country’s highest leader, the President, as we cast our votes this coming Presidential elections.

The highest form of leadership is servanthood. Leadership is one of the highest calling a person can receive. How can you distinguish an effective leader among the rest?

An effective leader is the one who serves, a bad leader wants to be serve.
An effective leader is one who empowers, a bad leader wants that power.
An effective leader wants people to grow and become great, a bad leader becomes insecure when someone grows and they always have to be the great one.

There’s this law in Physics that for every action, there is an equal reaction. The secret to become an effective leader is simple enough.

If you want to be happy, make someone happy. Instantly you become happy.
If you want to be motivated or empowered, motivate and empower someone. Instantly you’re motivated and empowered.
If you want to be appreciated, appreciate people and they will appreciate you.
If you want respect, of course respect them first.
If you want to be trusted, you must trust others too.

As an effective leader, you should not wait for someone to do those things for you first, You have to do it yourself first. An effective leader is called a ’leader’, because people follow what you do, not what you say. Effective leaders serve as inspiration and motivation among their followers.


Now, who among the Presidential candidates have these qualities?

OMG, please no!

Haha opinion ko lang yan ser...wag magagalit.

The way I see it, people's choices of their candidate has something to do with past experiences. Some people here might have been idealists before, going for whats best but had bad results. So now ginagamitan na nila ng diskarte.

Most supporters of yellow are previously Roco voters, pero anong ngyari? Most popular parin dapat ang nanalo kaso nadaya naman(tapos pareho namang natigok). So ngayon although si subic ang parang Roco before ayaw na nilang maulit yun. So marami ang nag coconsider kay dilaw kesa naman si mr money.

this is somehow my sentiment. we had some intelligent choices in the past but the majority has been putting the likes of erap and FPJ (would've been him if GMA didn't cheat, thank god) in the highest seat.

but as of now, i'm not pressured YET to go for a lesser evil. if i see even a small improvement in gordon's ratings, i'll stick with him. we need a guy who could be harsh, but at least wake us up in the realities of what needs to be done.

I would also like to add on that since you've mentioned great statesmen

Great Leaders can control others emotion

Great Leaders know when is the right time or not

Great Leaders can summon the strength of the deux-ex-machina

And Great Leaders delve into the subconscious level

" One must compare the various condition of the antagonistic sides in terms of the five constant factors:
1. Moral Influence
2. Weather
3. Terrain
4. Commander
5. Doctrine

These five constant factors should be familiar to every general.
He who masters them wins; he who does not is defeated."---Sun Tzu

Summary: You must know your stuff. Expand your learning horizons. Time invested in learning brings big rewards.
