Research and review the qualities of an effective leader.  What qualities do you look for in a leader?  Why are they important to you?  What are the qualities that you look for in someone you follow?  Which quality (or qualities) do you think is most important for a leader to have? Why? 

What outstanding qualities do people have that you choose not to follow?  Provide examples where appropriate.
