Without leaders, this world would not be able to function properly. Second, leaders have an influence on people, may it be good or bad. The choices that a leader makes can leave an impact on people to do something that the said leader believes in. Third, leaders have a big impact on the outcome of the future of society. The leader could decide to choose a way to settle a matter, whether it is good or bad, and those choices could lead to either the destruction or growth of a nation.…

Leadership is defined as “a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal” (Northouse, 2007). Managers, supervisors, and team leads are given the authority to accomplish certain tasks and objectives, however this power does not make a person a leader. This assigned authority only means that this person is “the boss.” Leadership differs in that it makes the followers want to achieve goals rather than bossing people around (Rowe, 2007). In other words, one can be assigned to a leadership position but one without such designated title can be a leader by influencing others to do great things.…
The role of a leader is much like that of a clownfish and anemone. The leader benefits from the growth and development of their apprentice, by becoming more self aware and growing as a leader, while the follower receives important guidance through their progression. As much as one benefits…
Certain leaders have been through different situations in their pasts which give them experience in how to deal with the task at hand. A leader is confident at all times. Having confidence in the team makes the members of the team feel that they are believed in. When trusted, teammates are like brothers. Leaders are like the red skittles. It is sweet, but also bold. When a person may think of Skittles, the red color of the package is the main trademark of Skittles. The sweet sensation makes everyone want to eat the red one. Others strive to be leaders. Some may have had bad leaders in their past, which is a driving force as to why they may want to hold a leadership position. The leader is the red Skittle that almost every person likes, and every person needs that sweet…
A leader is not a title earned for the sole purpose of bettering one’s position in society. After all, one cannot ordain themselves a leader, they must demonstrate themselves to be one to their peers and to themselves. Being a leader involves…
My experience with being a leader in the groups that we did was a great learning experience. I learned a lot not only about myself, but also about what it is like to be the leader of a group. Leading a group was harder than I thought it would be and knowing how to start, what activities or techniques to use and what to say or do next was also harder than I thought.…
A leader is a person who represents the whole class and motivate them. I did not believe I was a leader. During my freshman and sophomore year of high school, I was a quiet spoken individual who listens to what others have to say. It was not that I did not have anything to say, but it was the fear of saying something wrong and others disregarding what I had to say. I did several presentations in high school that made speaking in front of people more easier. However, I was still the timid person who wanted desperately to break my shell but did not know how. A shocking moment had occurred when I had became secretary of Zonta Club. It was junior year and I was surprised to have been part of the leadership team. I was able to discuss my ideas and to speak with the members at ease. It was my breaking point. I was given a privilege to be part of something that made a change. I was not just the soft spoken person, but I was a leader…
The dictionary defines a leader as someone who leads. This definition in not helpful for anyone wanting to become a leader themselves because a leader is so much more than someone who leads. A leader has great virtues that allow them to obtain the trust of others. Through leadership experiences, one will learn the qualities needed to be a leader. I have gained leadership experiences through hockey, work and student government. These experiences taught me to be calm, passionate, and gain the respect of others. I have learned how to express these traits through integrity and the desire of becoming a better leader.…
In my opinion, leadership is more than just someone who can enlist the aid of others to accomplish a specific task. It is a characteristic and a lifestyle of a person. True leadership is not displayed on days we feel like it. It is a constant display of ones actions to accomplish tasks and set an example for others to emulate. A leader is someone who can be turned to in the absence of knowledge or direction and will either have the answer or know where to get the answer.…
Being a leader is a real skill that requires time, commitment, thought and dedication. According to Pearson (2015), “Leaders are people with the ability to rule, guide, or inspire others to think or act as they recommend” (p. 2489). At times it may seem very overwhelming and situations may feel as if they are unsolvable and desired outcomes are unattainable; however, if you portray the unique characteristics of a leader it will help you overcome stressful tasks with ease and confidence.…
Being a leader can be hard and you have to work hard, however it comes with good repercussions. First of all you learn a lot of responsibilities with being a leader. Such as hearing what your peers have to say. An example is we always set up the homecoming dance, and so to do that you have to hear what people wanted as the theme. Another illustration of being a leader is showing people the right path to go.…
Leadership is an important role in most, if not in all communities, families, and/or school. The role of a leader is that of a strong individual who looks at the big picture, who is goal oriented, and who is driven by a cause. In the community and family I am involved in, I take on the leader role. The management I provide has made a positive difference in the lives of others, including - but not limited to - my family and school courses. My leadership and services have made a major impact on my nine year old brother and fourteen year old cousins.…
The ability to be a leader depends much on your personality. Being bossy does not necessarily mean that you are able to become a good leader. On the contrary, being a leader is a quite tough job because it suggests someone with the ability to follow people towards a specific goal. Certainly, it is better to be a leader because usually this is a person who distinguishes from the others with qualities such as ability to make decisions, good communication skills and ability to guide others.…
