Leadership:
A look at what makes a good leader
1. Be
Respectful:
You
need to treat others the way you would like to be treated. You need to respect
not only elders but everyone around you; that includes children younger than
you. You need to be fair to everyone and respect others in order to earn the
respect a leader needs to run an event or what he or she is in charge of.
2. Have
Wisdom and Knowledge
One can
have knowledge without having wisdom but one cannot have wisdom without
knowledge. Knowledge is power. Any powerful leader will have the knowledge to
judge right from wrong, even in stressful situations. He or she will also have
the wisdom and knowledge to know what is best for the event or company.
3. Be
Prepared for and Open to Change
All
leaders prepare for change by taking into account what is happening in their
surroundings. You must not fear change or run away from change but instead
welcome it with your arms wide open! Change can be good or bad, but always
leads down a new road!
4. Be
Open-Minded
When
listening to complaints or ideas, you need to be unbiased and fair. You can’t
take any sides just because (for example) you would rather take your best
friend’s side. This can be extremely tough if you don’t want to hurt anyone.
5. A Good
Communicator
Every
leader will be able to carry out any necessary communications between the
students and those above you, i.e. the teachers or deputies. You need to listen
to others and you must be willing to work with and to understand the intentions
and desires of others. If you don’t listen to people, no one will listen to you.
These
are just five qualities that a leader displays. A leader is someone who we all
need, strong and bold, yet humble, kind and wise, not making quick decisions
and handling themselves best in unexpected and uncomfortable situations. You
too could become a leader, just a natural one, if YOU display the right
qualities.
