Willing Leader, Good Leader?

Here is an interesting food-for-thought – for a leader to be a “good” leader, must the leader be a willing leader?

Think about all those anti-heroes. The unwilling saviour. The reluctant chieftain. The accidental leader. If a person has strong leadership traits, have the competencies of a leader, gets the respect and fellowship of the people; yet am unwilling to lead. Will this person be a good leader?

In the modern world, we see candidates fighting for votes, colleagues vying for promotion, volunteers squabbling for power; they want to be leaders. Will they, because of their burning desire to lead, make a better leader than someone more competent, but unwilling?
