Leadership character and credibility

After reading some of the posts from one of the blogs that I follow I decided to make some connections from two of the posts.  One post talked about the character of a leader and why certain characterists are important for leaders and the other was about the credibility of leaders today.  In the cerdibility post it talked about how people now seem to be more concerned about the leaders they follow.  I think the credibility of a leader has a lot to do with the character of the leader. Today we have seen many political leaders who were bad leaders and forced the people to do things that they didn't agree with.  The character of those leaders was lacking because they were leaders to feel power and to control people unlike a good leader who has goals that will help the people not just themselves. Character is very important for a good leader because a leader needs to have the drive to help others and care about the people they are leading.  When a leader is thought to be non credible leader in my opinion it has to do with how the leader presents themselves to the people.  Credibility and character are two things that are connected in producing a good leader.
