Leadership

Leadership is a role that a person will step up and take. Then again, not everyone can have leadership. In order to have leadership, you must act in certain ways to acquire the goal of leadership. Leadership is more than just leading people to achieve certain goals. It’s the way you approach the person you are trying to lead.

Moreover, many people these days don’t think that having leadership is important, or they think having leadership just means to lead people. Well, they are wrong. Leadership is much more than being a leader. You can’t just decide one day that you want to have leadership. You need to give yourself time to have leadership. Leadership does not come in the blink of an eye. It takes time to attain leadership. A person with leadership is someone that you can joke around with, someone always willing to help you, and someone who is positive.

Accordingly, people with leadership will set many goals for themselves to achieve. If you are lazy and want to gain leadership you must step up your game because no one likes people that are lazy. Say a person wants to have leadership in their student council. Well, the person is not a leader if no one wants to listen to the person. If the teacher asks you to do something in student council you must do as you were asked and don’t be lazy. Otherwise, the teacher won’t want you do be a leader that has leadership. To have leadership you must influence a group of people. Be the person that anyone can look up. A leader with leadership doesn't do stupid things that they later regret in life many times. Of course, the person will make mistakes, but if they keep on making the mistakes they are not considered to have leadership anymore.

A person with leadership is not just about a person that’s good at telling people what to do. A person with leadership is someone that most people really enjoy being around.

Consequently, anyone can be a leader. A kid can be leading in a school project without a problem. But just because you are a leader that does not mean that you have leadership. Leadership is a characteristic that a person can have and it can be achieved by trust, respecting others, and giving your best effort and in so many more ways. A leader can be rude, disrespectful, and competitive and that leader does not have leadership. Step up and take the role of leadership. It will make a difference in yourself and in the others around you.
