A short YouTube talk by Jim Johnson about what marks exceptional leaders. The speaker emphasizes that a key marker is how much people willingly desire to follow a person — that others actively want to join that person's team or efforts — and notes that even when followers are placed involuntarily, a good leader still inspires and helps them accomplish objectives.
A marker of great leaders would be how much people willingly desire to follow them. That's a big one, is how when you look at somebody and people go, I want to be on that person's team, or even in a neutral setting, people just kind of. They tend to gravitate towards that person. And when that person, you know, sets out to do a thing, people just want to be a part of it and join it. I wouldn't say that's an ultimate definition, but that's a. That's a. That's a marker of a powerful leader. Now, sometimes people get involuntarily placed underneath somebody else's leadership, and that person a lot helps them, inspires them, get. Let's gets them to accomplish that objective. From the leadership perspective, that's a good leader.
