Some of the traits of good leaders have already been mentioned elsewhere. Since Khoiriyah was speaking about a leader's trait that is often observed as negative - i.e. easy to get angry - this saying, which I quoted from one of many Aristotle's sayings, perhaps answers her question pretty well.“It is easy to get angry—anyone can do that…but to feel or act towards the right person to the right extent at the right time for the right reason in the right way—that is not easy, and it is not everyone that can do it. Hence to do these things well is a rare, laudable and noble achievement.”
