I get what you mean because a leader must be able to sacrifice everything to be willing to serve, when modern day leaders hear leadership, they do not think of serving others they think about how to command others. A good leader is a real hero, someone who can keep being good despite the views that other people have of them.
George Washington is one of the most prominent figures in the history of the United States and the first president of the country. Importantly, he became an effective president although everyone had doubts “as to what this presidency was” (Phelps, 1987, p. 354). The man was a talented military commander and inspirational leader who enjoyed unprecedented trust and respect among his fellow citizens. Undoubtedly, Washington is a hero as his diligence, and firm belief in the importance of the union became critical in the very survival of the new country (Henriques, 2011). He was a visionary man who helped others to see that their future depended on their ability to pursue a greater purpose of cherishing independence and unity. Unlike most leaders of today he did not abuse his power but created a system that ensured the stability of the Union. Of course, Washington was a human, which means that some flaws in his character could still be found. Nevertheless, the man remains one of the most real heroes and leader I can ever know.

Can you think of any leader who is a real hero?
