My previous experience has always been considering leadership as only applied to being faithful, cooperative, and involving the people one leads in decision-making. However, from the research, I have learnt that innovativeness and decisiveness play a critical role in qualification of a leader.  Innovativeness prompts a leader engage on constant evaluation of trends, while seeking ways to improve the current situation. In being decisive, a leader has to commit to delivering what he or she promises, and a better way of attaining is actually getting people to not only follow, but also own the plans in executing a set task.
