Humble Leadership

I don't know a lot about Pahoran, but at the very least, he is an example of great leader.

First, he had someone say some pretty nasty stuff about him, but he doesn't take offence. He takes the opportunity to praise Moroni, and also explain himself further.

"And now, in your epistle you have censured me, but it mattereth not; I am not angry, but do rejoice in the greatness of your heart. I, Pahoran, do not seek for power, save only to retain my judgment-seat that I may preserve the rights and the liberty of my people. My soul standeth fast in that liberty in the which God hath made us free." (Alma 61:9)

Something else he did to show his leadership is that he explains to Moroni how grateful he is for the feedback, and the clarity it gave him. He was humble enough to take someone else's advice and see things from another viewpoint.

"And now, Moroni, I do joy in receiving your epistle, for I was somewhat worried concerning what we should do, whether it should be just in us to go against our brethren." (Alma 61:9)

Finally, he showed care and concern towards others he was a leader over.

"See that ye strengthen Lehi and Teancum in the Lord; tell them to fear not, for God will deliver them, yea, and also all those who stand fast in that liberty wherewith God hath made them free." (Alma 61:21)

I think these are some great qualities, and when I have opportunities to lead, whether it be at work, in my home, or really anywhere, I hope I can display these same leadership traits.
