Leader

To me a great leader is someone who guides others towards a common goal, showing the way by example, and creating an environment in which other team members feel actively involved in the entire process.  They also have to be a great listener, someone who is focused, organized, and confident.  To me these qualifications meet the great Brett Favre.  Dispit what has happened to him last season off the field with all his problems for years Brett has shown outstanding leadership on the field.  As the QB he is always responsible for the whole offense.  But, I see him leading the whole team in huddles before and after the game pumping up his teammates.   He's the oldest active player in the game right now and with his experience he knows how to lead younger players into great ones.
