Passion

In Winners Never Cheat, Huntsman brings up the Core Elements of a Leader. He say that they are: Talent, Integrity, Courage, Vision, Commitment, Empathy, Humility and Confidence. I do agree that these values are key to a good leader, but I think he left out a very important concept. One critical part of being a good leader is having passion about what you are doing. If you don’t have that drive inside you to get it done, you wont be as affective. Seth Godin said, "Leadership is about creating change you believe in." You cant just commit or know where you are going, you need enthusiasm to get you there. True passion is contagious. If you are enthusiastically pushing for your goal, others in your group will be more apt to grasp your vision.
