John C. Maxwell Case

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." - John C. Maxwell. It is important for a leader to be trustworthy and have a strong character. He should be capable of leading his followers. Efficient leadership involves guiding the followers in the right direction, helping them attain the intended goal. Then that he gains the moral right to lead. To make a good leader you should have the ability to listen to other people and be considerate of what they feel, because it is their town/country and they are living in it. They should also be optimistic about their country. Leaders should have the drive and determination for what they do. In Julius Caesar Brutus makes a more qualified leader then Antony. Brutus makes a better leader because he is very smart, he is loyal to rome and he is an honest man.

Brutus is a very smart man and that is needed in a leader. Brutus is very smart because when there is something that he knows is not right for the government he takes it upon himself and takes charge to do something about it. When he is talking about caesar being killed he compares him to a serpent in his egg and says "And since the quarrel, Will bear no color for the thing he is, Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented, Would run to these and these extremities; And therefore think him as a serpent's egg, Which, hatch'd, would as his kind grow mischievous, And kill him in the shell" Julius Caesar Act 2, scene 1, 28-34. He is saying that when Caesar is crowned king he is going to get even more dangerous. Brutus is smart enough to know that Caesar is just putting on an act and that once he comes king he wont be his friend anymore. He is smart because he was the only conspirator who killed Caesar for the better of rome and not out of jealousy. Brutus felt the death of caesar would be the end of the absolute rule that Caesar presently had. Brutus a smart man that had so much loyalty toward rome.
