Currently we are reading a book called Animal Farm as a class. This book shows a lot about leadership. In the book, the pigs are usually the leaders, since they are known to be more intelligent, although sometimes intelligence isn’t all you need to be a leader.

One of the pigs is named Napoleon. He is a very important leader in the farm and is trusted because of his intelligence. Although he is smart, it doesn’t seem like his mind is focused on the good of the people, but more toward the good of himself.

Being a leader takes more than one quality. Of course intelligence matters, but it also matters in where your priorities are set. A good leader cares about the good of the people and cares about what is good for everyone. Leadership is a very important quality and when being a leader you need to be aware of the decisions you make.
