There are many qualities that make a leader a great leader. There is no greater

leader then the President of the united states. The following three qualities are in my

opinion are the best for this great leader: (1) honesty, (2) communication, and (3) someone who is ambitious.

The first quality for a good president is honesty. The president should commit to

what he or she says that they are going to do. For example, if they say they are going to

abolish the IRS system, then they should stick to it and make sure that it happens. They

should also accept responsibility for their own actions. For instance, if they decided to

go to war, they should be able to accept the responsibility for the death of innocent

Americans.

The next quality for a president is good communication. For instance, they should

be able to make speeches that are clear and get straight to the point that people are able

to understand. Also they should be able to speak to people that have questions and be

able to state a clear point that allows people to make a decision based on their answer.

They have to be able to communicate to other people in other countries to make

compromises and to keep peace among all the other nations.

The last quality that makes a president is someone who is ambitious. I think the

president should have a strong desire for achievement in our country. For example, they

should be willing to make good positive changes in our country for the best interest of

everyone. They should be willing to do anything that it takes to make a positive change

in the country, no matter how much effort has to be put forth. For instance, they should

be willing to get healthcare for everyone.
