Ruscio discusses what traits are needed to be a good leadership, and what virtues will make someone a strong leader. Ruscio argues that the most important trait to have is humility, as it not only makes the leader seem relatable to the audience, but will also allow the leadership to make better decisions regarding liberty, tolerance, and law if they are looking at issues with a humble perspective. In addition, this article claims that many traits are emphasized within social media, but humility is not one of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The example of Washington and his troops is given, and how his \u201crejection of formal power\u201d led to an \u201cinnate ability to establish a bond, a trait that ultimately led him, in more significant historical moments, to acquire authority and legitimacy.\u201d The troops were moved by his speech, and felt connected to him because he explained he was one of them. I think that this analogy is completely accurate, and something leaders hold the most power by \u201ccutting it back\u201d so they seem more relatable to an audience. I also think it helps the leader, as it gives them an emotional connection and an inside look into their audience, and may make them more passionate about something.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This novel by Kenneth P.
