The Professional Counselor \Volume 2, Issue 3 230 that have a pattern of criteria and a clear philosophy of management and human development (Barreto, 2009; Sennewald, 1985). An educator is an artist who can enable others to function in social life (Ingenieros, 2002), enhances intelligence, increases the power of the thought, and promotes the intrinsic skills of others to confront the challenges of life. The true educator-leader assumes a pedagogical and liberating psychology, instead of allowing the dislocated epidemiological processes in which the only thing that happens is the adaptation of the person to the surroundings. On the contrary, the leader stimulates the germination of the critical-reflective competencies that allow both the led and the leader not only adapt to the reality of the surroundings but also to reinterpret it, to re- engineer it, and to transform it (Barreto, 2009, 2012a, 2012b; Freire, 2005). The motivator mobilizes, encourages, dissuades and makes human energy flow. The leader as a motivator keeps the positive tension active in the group. This motivator-leader creates an energetic climate so that the led enrich it with their activity and enthusiastic participation. The leader is a positive energizer in the group, who does not assail the group, expend its energy, or impose his motivation per se; rather, a leader resonates in the led and allows their intrinsic motivational energies to increase and articulate themselves (Barreto, 2009; Goleman, 2006; Heider, 2004). The MEM leader, as illustrated in Figure 1, drives a practice of participatory, enthusiastic, critical and sustainable leadership. The leader has the conditions to understand and to magnetize the led, and they in response are integrated, and complement and execute the transformations with conscience synergy (Barreto, 2009, 2010). Figure 1. The MEM Leader. (Barreto, 2009, 2010) Educator Motivator Manager The leader supports others in intelligently developing their humanity. The leader is a manager of the knowledge and a stimulator of intelligence as a means of personal and collective improvement. The leader touches the inspirational fiber of the led. The leader is one who stimulates the led to maximize their participation on the basis of a firm conviction and profound enthusiasm. The leader is responsible for clarifying and achieving objectives, as well as making optimal use of the existing resources. The leader is somebody with a clear vision. Leader
