Entrepreneur and Rev. A.R. Bernard of Brooklyn visited Syracuse over the weekend and pointed out these four qualities that make a good leader:
- Maturity
- Decisiveness
- Consistency
- Strength
Pastor Bernard, who was speaking at Abundant Life Christian Center, said maturity begins with the acceptance of responsibility, not with age, and that our leaders need to make decisions quickly and confidently (guided by values and principles). He also said leaders must avoid distractions.
And strength, he added, is mostly demonstrated in kindness.
