Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian philosopher during the medieval times. According to him, a good leader must be respected, have good values, and must have the support of his constituents. He must also be knowledgeable and promote authenticity within his close advisers. I agree with his principles. A good leader should not be feared or loved, but rather respected. He should earn this by treating his followers justly. He must also listen not only to compliments, but also criticism to further improve his leadership.
