Traits of a Leader From Nehemiah Chapter 1
Click Here To read Nehemiah Chapter 1, NIV
Nehemiah was a Cupbearer for the King. One of his duties was to choose and taste the king's wine to make certain that it was not poisoned.
When Hanani, one of Nehemiah's brothers came from Judah with some other men to Susa, Nehemiah wanted to hear all the news. So he questioned them about the Jewish remnant that survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.
They explained that those who survived were in great trouble and in disgrace and that the wall of Jerusalem was broken down and the gates had been burned.

- A true leader is concerned about his/her people - verse 2
