Leadership can be seen in someone who carries a team through a winning/loosing season or someone who simply achieves on their own, setting the bar higher for those to follow. A person can lead in one way or in many ways to build the respect of their followers, all leaders have different views/perspectives. Leadership is something to strive for, it is not something any one person is born with however with effort anyone can obtain leadership. A good leader understands why they are a leader, they see their own morals and values and realize how to direct this understanding. They also see others point of view and engage with their team, they do not discriminate or judge. This "good" type of leader has the qualifications to make a difference and hold true to this through the good and bad times, these leaders are adaptable to change

I have already somewhat identified the concept of change and the importance of implementing change as a leader

This weeks articles I felt were more about teacher someone about group work and how to work with others, what to expect, etc. I do not think they really defined a new aspect of leadership rather they taught you how to deal with an aspect of leadership. For this reason my definition has not changed.

I added a few pieces this week, i thought the discrimination aspect of the readings was important and also to emphasize that not all leaders are exactly alike.

Through our reading I found it is very important to not only understand ones own self but to view things from another perspective and work with others to make positive change.

The second article really reinforced my belief that leadership can be found in ANYONE. I agreed with a lot of what I read and feel my definition as of now already supports the influence of the reading.

In this weeks reading we read about the economic crisis and I was able to better understand the lengths a leaders has to come to. They cannot only make a difference but have to hold on to the difference and pursue it, no matter internal/external factors.

Through this weeks article I added the last sentence to my definition, basically I have found through my readings you cannot lead well without understanding your own strengths and beliefs.

With this weeks readings i found that my definition did not really change. The binary set-up of leadership qualities is not something I supported, I think a lot of leadership is found to have a mix between each side, such as individual vs. relational. I supported this opinion in my definition all ready. Also the same theme of leadership being everywhere I had already supported with my definition.

As I had said everyone shows their leadership in a different way which is supported by Golemans article stating the six types of leadership and how they vary among different people. I also agree with the combining of these types in order to be a stronger leader. Also in my original definition I said that anyone can be a leader which was supported by Goleman but not so much by Roth. In Roth's article it shows the weaknesses/ineffectiveness of unnamed leaders. I would agree that some people struggle to be a leader but everyone will at one time affect ones life for the best therefore being a good leader.

My Definition: I believe that leadership is the ability to influence others. Leadership can be seen in someone who carries a team through a winning or loosing season or someone who simply achieves on their own, setting the bar higher for those to follow. A person can lead in one way or in many ways to build the respect of their followers. Leadership is something to strive for, it is not something any one person is born with however with effort anyone can obtain leadership.
