Article Review: William F. Unsoeld, Characteristics of a True LeaderIn our lives, each of us has a certain desire to excel and to succeed at a given moment. Some of us even want to achieve such goals at any time. First, we are all born with the light of Christ, which gives each of us a desire to seek God and His perfect state. When this happens, something within us pushes us to be better and achieve perfection. In that moment, we are better than we can be alone. Some people have this God-given talent to be able to do this consistently. When we have this gift, it is necessary that we use it to improve our lives and the lives of others. Many people may have this gift, but few actually know how to use it and make it grow. William Unsoeld was clearly a man of this caliber. He had this ability to say the right thing, to help at the right time and in the right way, and to execute his strategy. It was because of these characteristics that he was known as such a great shepherd. It takes a lot of character to build that kind of reputation and be so humble about it. What made Willy so important to everyone, as stated in the article, was not that he was known to so many people, but it was the fact that he had an impact on the life of all those with whom he came into contact. In the article, he talked about all the people at his funeral who shared stories of love and leadership. Imagine how many others could say the same thing about Willy who didn't attend the funeral or even those he touched who didn't even remember his name or how they knew him. Willy was the kind of person every leader should aspire to be. When people develop Willy's characteristics, they become true leaders. Willy probably never aspired to be a great leader; he was able to develop these characteristics through his passion and knowledge of what he did as well as his love for others. One of the most important characteristics of leadership is that a leader must have the ability to see a person's potential and know how to help them develop it..
