Both leaders must be Idolised, Idols because of their expertise, idols because what they do does not set bad examples. "No matter how small the good we do will be a ripple of goodness that never ends, but no matter how small the bad and bad things we do, it will be the next bad legacy that will come to us," he said.

Finally, the Army Chief of Staff said, a leader must be an EXPECTED leader, meaning that the success of the leaders in moving the wheels of the organization through the decisions taken cannot be separated from the attitude of members or subordinates towards the decision.

"The leader must have 4 main characteristics, he must have imagination, innovation, vision and mission, and he must have aspirations and hopes, if you don't have all of these, then being a leader is mediocre," said the Army Chief of Staff.
