Journal #1 What is the ideal public leader?

The ideal public leader to me is a person that wants the best for everyone not just himself. Someone who has the appropriate amount of power and doesn't take advantage of it. I think an ideal public leader is a person that doesn't just say things he wants to do but actually goes on and does them for the benefit of himself and others. I think its someone who enjoys what they do not just someone who does their job because they have to. I think it is someone who is intelligent all around and understands society in the time period he's living in. Lastly, it is someone who is open to new ideas and change for the better.
