Interesting points but I won't agree with most of them, or partially not agree with them.
A true leader is someone who can make his team create great outputs / bring results. I don't think the "humble" or "not humble" part
is that important because here you talk about personality not leadership. The example you made in your article shows bad personality
(look what I buy and you cannot have haha) but not necessary bad leadership.
Whatever you said in your article seems like something I learn in school. In actual scenario things are much different.
I agree a leader listens to their employees but, a leader which listens to their employees' worries and let their vision being altered is not a great leader.
That's in any area where it's necessary to be successful. Think about military context and what you said about leadership. If applied to military,
that would kill military
Remember life is not a Disney movie
Leaders work together with the team but not when doing that would be time consuming and not effective. A leader which has an insane team and can trust
that team, then there is no need to work with them. Leader should check on them and listen, while being focused on what the team can't see because they are
focused on doing the task.
Hate me or not, if you have experience you will find some points in common with me.
What makes a good leader according to my view- Keeps things in perspective
- Sets goals for their team
- Makes effective decisions contributing towards the goals
- Use time wisely
- Delegate tasks
- Someone who can use their authority to bring consistent positive results
