Understandings

A good leader considers the will of the people.

           I think that all good leaders are considerate of others. Leaders cannot be selfish or act on what is best for themselves. A leader that makes fair choices is more likely to succeed. In the middle ages, many leaders, such as King William the Conquerer, were disliked for their selfish decisions. He made choices that helped himself and his own people (the Normans) gain wealth. Most leaders in the middle ages were corrupt like this. In more modern times leaders have learnt to be more considerate and non-corrupt. Some of these leaders include Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela. All these leaders had one main thing in common, they were all considerate of the will of the people. They were not corrupt and were not selfish. These leaders were all successful as they had the support of the people behind them. Even though this way of rule is the most effective, there are still corrupt leaders in today's society. 
             If leaders of the middle ages were less corrupt, less selfish and considerate, they would of had much more success and power over their people. There would of been less rebellions and revolts over their rule.
