From the Paper:

"Leadership is a term that can be applied to all walks of life. From school, workplace to home, leaders are those who give meaning to the old phrase "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." It can be intuitively understood that common interests unite but it is also true that conflict of interests can divide people. The various demands that one is expected to fulfill can cause conflict, and this is for the most part due to the fact that the common good is made subservient to individual good. But there are certain individuals who have the capability to see individual good in the fulfillment of common good and they are usually a class above the ordinary. Apart from the ones who have an inherent talent to instinctively achieve such common good, there are those who work to it by understanding the basic problems. Out of such understanding they are able to carve out solutions that are made workable through an organized approach for implementation, in order to fulfill objectives. Both these types of individuals are perfect example of good leaders."
