The Most Observed and Least Understood Phenomena on Earth

Sick and tired of seeing people get pushed around, well stand up for what is right and become a strong leader. Become a leader of great personality, of great compliance and of a great quality. Check out the rest of this paper if you want to learn how and what it takes to be an amazing leader.

To begin, do you have what it takes to be a leader? Do you have great personality? If you can make a person laugh but have that fire to turn on, than being a leader is your thing. But there are some flaws to not making a leader. If you are not creative and opened minded and you have trouble laughing and smiling, than I am sorry being a leader is not for you. My friends say that to be a leader you need to be well-educated in every skill that you are trying to be a leader for. Also to have great people skills, to interact with people from around the world. But if you have trouble interacting with people than being a leader is not for you. But with having good personality comes great responsibility. To have responsibility you need to have good organization, good time management skills and lastly to have a sense of when something is wrong or when something is right. But there are flaws to having great personality and having good responsibility. To having good personality you can never be mad or get mad to punish someone for no reason. Also if they had good leadership skills than they might convince the people to do whatever that leader wanted. But there are also flaws with responsibility than that leader or whoever may take their responsibility to far and may stretch there

Just like I say, “some are meant to lead, some are born and then there is you, who may not be so good at being a leader but you tried and that is all that counts.”

    Many definitions exist on what leadership is. Despite the many differences in definitions, they all describe the leader as someone who influences others. Leaders transform individuals around them allowing them to work to their full potential. In order for a leader to be successful they must be knowledgeable, self- confident, and effective communicators. These characteristics will create a positive workplace environment that results in an increase in productivity. Leadership is not defined by titles or salary.

    The role of a leader is often inaccurately defined as an individual who is in a position to give orders. However, there are enormous differences in the attributes of an outstanding leader, and one of mediocrity. An outstanding leader, above all else, is a role model for their peers. In doing so, a leader of the highest caliber is trustworthy in both their peer’s trust for the leader as well as the leader’s trust of their peers. A leader must also display exceptional skill in communication which transcends speaking and, more importantly, includes listening and consideration to the ideas presented to them. Furthermore, a leader must be supportive of and willing to help their peers build their own strengths. The attributes listed above represent only a small subset of what makes an outstanding leader. Yet,

    One may wonder exactly what it is that qualities a strong leader possesses. A strong leader is determined, and strong willed. They must be of good judgment, and without bias. They cannot easily be persuaded, and they are firm, yet at the same time, a good lead must also empathize with his subordinates, and have the best interest at heart for said subordinates, at all times. However, with that being said, a good leader cannot be afraid to discipline his subordinates when necessary. Unmistakably, being a leader is a very difficult feat – one which not everyone can accomplish. A leader must be an authority, a friend and a counsellor, all at once. They must be responsible, and always take into account the disadvantages of a situation. Not everyone is suitable to be a leader, whereas, just about anybody can be a good role model.

    I believe that leadership is not something that you are born with, but that has to be learned over time. You learn to become a leader from watching other leaders, and also from personal experience. People should become leaders; so that they can help others do their best. They should not become leaders for the title and power that may come with leadership. Being a leader does not mean you get to boss people around by telling them what to do. The purpose of a leader is to guide others by encouraging, showing them the way, and by challenging them to do the best that they can do. I learned leadership through personal experience. In high school I played sports and had many class projects to do. My senior year was the first time my school had a soccer program, and I along with two other girls was captains. As we all know, when a group of girls come together, the drama comes too. All three of the captains had to work together and show the girls that if we wanted this program to be a success and grow, they had to work together as well. It was hard at first, but when we encouraged everyone, it worked out better than expected in the end. Also, in my business class, we had a lot of projects that were mostly group projects. During the end of the year, we had a project where we had to make up a new product. My partner and I were both seniors and it was a stressful time with finals, SAT scores, graduation, and trying to become honor graduates. We were tired and just did not want to do another project, but our teacher, Mr. Brace, did not give up on us. He showed us what to do, and encouraged us constantly every day. He would tell us many positive things and would check up on us. He was a great teacher and a great leader. Leadership may be one wo...

  • The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership

    1631 Words  | 4 Pages

    In order for a leader to be a leader, he/she must begin with the assumption that you are the one who matters most. As a leader you have to possess that level of confidence in yourself that you are capable of leading yourself “before you can lead others”. And when you develop this belief then you are better able to affirmatively influence “on others”. A leader needs to “believe” in himself and have the confidence that whatever you say will excite and what you do can motivate others. You must be optimistic about what you do, to have some relevance to being in existence.

  • Educational Beliefs and Mission Statement of an Education Administration Leader

    988 Words  | 2 Pages

    Although there are many outstanding, albeit necessary qualities of a good leader, it is the leader’s beliefs in which greatness is given its first breath, fostered by action, and spread throughout the institution. A great leader believes in encouraging, not destroying; in setting the precedence instead of yielding to prominence ; in collaboration, not division; in giving, not taking; and in having high standards and volunteering to be the first of many to be held to them. A great leader does not take advantage of the people being lead, but instead, creates an advantage for the people by giving them the opportunities to lead. Only when people take ownership of an institution will passion be cultivated, action be taken, and greatness be achieved.

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.

Becoming the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or position. –Brian Tracy.

Everyone grows into a leader and then afterwards grow into a leadership style that will eventually begin to shape and inspire other leaders.
