What Makes a ‘Good’ Leader and Why Do Some Fail?

A good leader is someone who helps people feel safe, inspired, and supported. Imagine a teacher who makes you want to learn more, maybe they’re kind or funny, but most importantly, they make you believe in yourself. But if the teacher yells too much or forgets what they’re teaching, it can get hard to keep up. That’s like when leaders fail, they don’t listen to people, they make bad choices, and everyone gets confused.
