A good leader has the ability to listen to the information on hand and make decisions, even if those decisions run contrary to what he/she may personally believe, or what he/she may have campaigned on. The world changes. Good leaders adapt.

A poor leader only sticks to his/her "gut", doesn't listen to advisors, refuses to consider new information, and may have initial success, but fails when conditions change. In other words, I don't consider "flip-flopping" to necessarily be a bad thing.

Think of a football coach. The best ones are able to adapt to changing weather and player injuries. The bad ones insist on sticking to their passing game despite a 10 degree blizzard.
