Historically speaking, we say Winston Churchill, FDR, Charles De Gaulle, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Dr Sun Yat Sun, Mao, V.I. Lenin and the like have been good leaders. We do not get to talk about people in our times in the same tone. What qualities and attributes mark out a good leader? Are there some characteristics in 'good leaders' that we can say are universal and worthy of emulation by others?

PS: please do not take on any individual person in the political arena anywhere in the world. Let us discuss only the leadership qualities that they must have or should not have, from academic perspective.
