Definition of Leadership: Week 7

| No Comments

Week 6: Leadership is when an ethical person with ethical intentions uses their strengths to lead a group of people towards a common goal. Respect of others, and their ideas, is required of a good leader. Leaders can either be assigned to you with no choice, or could be voted in. A good leader knows both their strengths and weaknesses. A good leader should be able to work well under pressure.

Week 7: Leadership is when an ethical person with ethical intentions uses their strengths to lead a group of people towards a common goal. Respect of others, and their ideas, is required of a good leader. A good leader knows both their strengths and weaknesses. A good leader should be able to work well under pressure and for the most part always be positive and encouraging. They should believe in the common goal and what they're working for.

Analysis: This week I added a that a leader should have a positive outlook throughout their leadership projects. Throughout my adult life I've always thought as some of my "strengths" as negative attributes instead of strengths. This class has helped me view these "negative" attributes as strengths through the StrengthsQuest evaluation I did. It has given me a completely positive outlook on my leadership abilities and is necessary for myself to believe in me if I want others to. I also took out "Leaders can either be assigned to you with no choice, or could be voted in." because I felt that it was a little obvious after reading it a lot. I wanted to concentrate more on what it takes to be a leader instead of how to become one.
