Recommended: Leadership traits and principles

Leadership is guiding someone or a group of people in the right direction, leading them to excellence. Leaders are like the giants on earth because everyone looks up to them. I have looked up to my fellow cheerleading coach because of his characteristics and qualities; he inspired to become a leader. He is the reason that I now have significant qualities such as originality, responsibility, creativity, motivation, and endurance. When things get hard and I’m on the verge of quitting, I remember to remain dedicated because he taught me perseverance. I continue to put forth and effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties or failures. I am now determined to achieve all of my goals because dedication is the key. It takes someone loving and kind like him to encourage me to strive for more even when I’m doing well. Over the years I’ve broken out of my shell and became a more effective leader. I have also continued to perform well in my academics because of his support and high expectations. His inspiration is what helped me succeed and want to do better for myself.
When I have a frown, I know exactly where to go to turn it upside down. I am comfortable sharing problems with him because of his advice and ability to relate to my situations. There are not many teachers who will motivate, love, and care for students like he does. He has really helped my journey through high school easier because of his motivational skills and talks. I believe that leadership can take you a long way and allow you to become a role model like never before. In this paper, I will discuss the leadership qualities I want to possess, necessary for my career, and how they will benefit my future. Along with my leadership qualities, I will reveal my mission...

    Leadership is all about having the right amount of heart and determination to help make a difference in someone’s life. It takes certain qualities to be considered a good leader. A leader should want to help inspire others to make a change and to be the best that they can be. A true leader does not need to feel powerful, instead they empower those around them. Throughout my life I have come across various leaders who have made an impact on my life. It takes a very special person to inspire and touch people’s lives. Leadership is so much deeper than having power and bossing people around.

    Leadership is being able to direct or guide other people by either your own actions or by actually guiding them into the right direction (Acumen). Inspiration to be a leader might come from many different areas like your family, friends, peers, or even teachers. My inspiration didn’t really occur to me until I started attending college in August 2013. In all actuality I never even thought of how to be a leader until I was in Mrs. Moore’s Perspectives class. I now have a desire to be a great leader, and the inspiration has come from Mrs. Moore, and my family. I am the first to attend college out of my family, so in a away I have already started leading my siblings in the right direction. Being a leader means inspiring others to pursue their dreams, and aspirations and helping throughout the journey to success. Being a leader has nothing with authority or being able to tell other what, and how to do things, it’s about having people who look up to you and want to follow your example.

    For many years, I have been told by teachers, family, and friends that I am a good leader. Until fairly recently, I had never truly thought about what it means to be a good leader and just took it as a compliment. Leadership is an intangible concept which cannot be properly outlined in a dictionary, but one which must be formed and explained only through one’s own philosophies and experiences.

  • What leadership means to me

    616 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are many different things I think of when I think of what leadership means to me. My idea of leadership is to be able to inspire others, get them excited to do something, motivate them and set an example to others. I also think that showing respect to others is a key part of leadership. You don’t just need leadership qualities, but you need to be a successful leader. To me being a successful leader is being able to have people follow you and not disrespect you. If you are a great leader your followers start to respect you more. To be a leader you also need to have certain qualities like being sociable, intelligent, have patience to deal with situations. A leader needs to be motivated or they will be a failure. I think I show leader ship all the time inside and outside of school. “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way (John C. Maxwell).

  • Reflection Of Being A Leadership In The World Today

    744 Words  | 2 Pages

    Leadership is something that is heavily prevalent in the workforce and in the world today. Being a leader, in my opinion, takes someone (or a group of people) who is willing and able to lead a few or many people. Not every leader though is successful or leads in a positive way. There definitely exists both good and bad leadership. Many leaders fail while many achieve extraordinary milestones. But everyone, not just leaders, have their pitfalls and rough patches in life. I know that I myself have some weaknesses as a leader, and that is what I want to take some time to reflect on.

    What is leadership? Leadership is defined as a process by which a individual will influence others to obtain goals. Leaders will guide, direct motivate, or inspire others. Leadership is defined by not only traits but actions as well. Leaders are inspirational, trustworthy and charismatic. Many people may think a manger is leader. Although leadership and management go hand in hand, they are not the same. Everyone has their own beliefs about what characteristics an effective leader should have. To me, communication skills, critical thinking skills, and having a vision are few characteristics of becoming an effective leader. A leader is not only born, but made. Some are born as leaders or some are made to be leaders.
