I have had the great privilege of knowing some great leaders in my life. I have known presidents, governors, senators, congressmen, university presidents, baseball managers, football coaches, CEO's—all of them excellent leaders, but not one of them the same. They are all different. Some are short. Some are tall. Some are handsome.  Some are not. Some are good speakers. Some are not. All are different.

But, I have observed that there are at least 10 characteristics that all leaders have in at least some amount.  Let me tell you what those observations are.

过去我曾经有多次的荣幸认识一些了不起的领导人。其中包括了总统，州长，参议员，众议员，公司总裁，大学校长，棒球经理，足球教练。这些人都是卓越的领导，然而他们身上和其领导方式所突现的特色却不尽相同。他们当中没有两个人是一样的。有的长的矮，有的长的高；有人外貌英俊，有人长相一般；有的口才好，有的不会说话。他们各不相同。 

然而我在他们身上观察到十个领导人的特质，每一位都拥有其中的几项。感谢您给我这份殊荣，为您介绍这些领导人的特质。
