Leadership Traits
Know your enemy- and learn about his favourite sports.
David Suzuki displays this a lot. His goal is to educate people about living green, so he has to know about every thing that would be the opposite in order to tell the difference between living green and living an everyday modern life.
Courage is not the absence of fear- it's inspiring others to move beyond it.
David Suzuki shows this by sort of exposing what people do to the environment, whether its the government or any other citizen. he shows us what they did wrong and how it can be fixed by doing certain things. He inspires people to take responsibility and clean up what ever mess is made and try to live a green life.
Lead from the front- but dont leave your base behind.
Davis Suzuki shows us this trait by showing people what to do and how to do it, but still gives them the opportunity of doing it by themselves to learn and see, and experience the cause. He travels to many places to teach people and educate them about the situations so they would be able to fix it own their own incase something like that happens again.
Conclusion
In the end, David Suzuki is a great leader because of his experience with people and positively inspiring people to do what is healthy, right and good for a long term which is to live green.
