The most important quality a leader should have is equality. I say equality because no one wants to have a leader that makes their own decisions. A leader should listen and understand their group members, and take ideas into consideration. A leader should treat each and every person equally. Evidence from the book, Ender's Game, that supports this thought is in chapter 9, when Peter wants to become a leader, Valentine doesn't believe that he has good leadership skills because of his personality. Peter is rude, arrogant, and a bully, equality doesn't fit his personality. Peter is very convincing and forces people to do things, and if they don't listen he threatens to kill them. For example, in chapter 9 of the book, when Peter asks Valentine to be his partner in becoming a leader, Valentine doesn't really want to do anything with him, so Peter threatens to kill her, so gives in. Which is not a good quality. This is why I believe that equality is a good quality every leader should posses.
