A leader who doesn’t give room for other ideas and doesn’t listen to his followers is said to be hard headed. This hereby causes enmity between the leaders and the followers.

5: Unfriendliness:

A leader who doesn’t relate freely with his followers but sees them as mere servants or slaves is not fit to be in the position of a leader. An Unfriendly leader is an unfortunate leader. Without friendliness in leadership there would be no fortunate executions in plans and ideas.

6: Less Compassionate:

A leader who lacks empathy and is not compassionate about his followers but for his own personal gain is not a leader at all. A leader must have compassion and be able to always step into the shoes of any of his followers if the need arises. That way the empathetic nature of a leader is released. When a leader is less compassionate he loses the trust of his followers

7: Lacks Transparency:

A secretive leader who closes in on himself just for his own gain is no leader at all. Every leader must be a see-through leader. A leader who everyone can see and know that this person could be trustworthy. A leader that lacks transparency should get himself checked and right his wrongs.

8: Dishonesty:

One of the dominant qualities of a bad leader is dishonesty. A bad leader always lacks the truth and never tells one. He is always the one to tell lies just to gain something for himself.

10: Speaks Rudely

A leader who talks rudely or out of place, is said to have bad communication skills, thus, making him the wrong candidate for being a leader. A good leader would always speak well regardless of the situation. A leader who doesn’t speak well would not be spoken well of. That person is not fit to be a leader.

11: Lacks the Fear Of God:

Naturally, this should have been the first point but I made it the last on purpose. A leader who lacks the fear of the one above all, cannot be a leader. No matter how effective he might seem, if there is no reference to the eternal one then there is no leadership.
