The stronger and more experienced a leader, the more decisively they suppress quarrels in the group. The fewer conflicts there are, the less aggression and hostility appear, and the more cohesive and friendly the atmosphere becomes. Sometimes this suppression of disputes must be done with harsh methods. Such is the law of any collective system.
A leader does not necessarily have to be soft. What they require is decisiveness, confidence, and a strong will. If quarrels, slander, and hostility arise in the group, the leader must stop them firmly. Otherwise, the group disintegrates.
People might say that such a leader will not be loved. That could be true. But love is not of primary importance here. What matters is that they are respected and obeyed. This respect can come through fear of their authority and firmness. When necessary, one must act according to the conditions of the environment, as it is said, “when among wolves, behave like wolves.”
At the same time, a true leader is always the first to face danger. They lead the group forward, pull it out of traps, organize the “hunt,” and confronts enemies or threats before anyone else. Being first does not mean enjoying privileges. It means taking upon oneself all the blows and all the responsibility that arise within the group.
A real leader carries the burden of the entire collective as if it were their own family. They worry about it, protect it, and stands at the front when difficulties arise.
If something goes wrong, the leader takes responsibility. If a leader refuses responsibility, they immediately cease to be a leader. Even in animal packs such a thing does not exist. A leader who avoids responsibility cannot remain in their place. True leadership means carrying the responsibility for the whole group, just as a father feels responsible for his family.
