Why do some people consistently inspire others to follow their lead? According to John C. Maxwell, author of 24 books and a regular speaker on the topic, it's the "character qualities" they possess. In The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, Maxwell identifies these top traits.
On the morning of April 28, 1789, the crew of His Majesty's armed transport, Bounty, mutinied against the tyrranical rule of the captain. Lieutenant William Bligh, nineteen men, including the captain was set adrift in mid-ocean to face the terrible prospect of travelling three thousand, six hundred miles over the turbulent Pacific in an open, unarmed boat only twenty-three feet long. Those who placed their lives in Bligh's hands however, had absolute faith in his qualities of leadership, his indomitable will, and his skill in navigation. This account, told in the words of Thomas Ledward, the Bounty's acting surgeon is more than anything else, a monument to Captain Bligh.
