What makes someone a good leader?

Was it someone who was trustworthy? Knuckles was the commander that led everyone to victory.

Or was it someone who was charismatic and strategic? Amy was the real leader, after all, keeping the mess together after all but 1% of Mobius was conquered by Eggman.

Could Jewel be a good leader? Even though she panics under pressure and was only handed the title because she liked paperwork?

Perhaps Eggman was the skilled leader. After all, he has an empire of robots that follow him till the end.

Maybe what makes someone a good leader is not who they are, but what the followers need at that moment.

I wouldn't trust Jewel leading a war, but there isn't a single timeline where Knuckles sits down to deal with bureaucracy.

The ideal leader is probably someone who knows that they can't be everyone at once.
