This week's definition: Leadership is the ability to unify others under one goal or idea, and to be able to push that group towards the goal, while promoting an energetic and positive environment, while ensuring that all members feel appreciated and useful as part of the team, and working to create cohesion among group members. They should also work to ensure that each member grows and learn and is working according to their values and doesn't feel alienated by others, allowing each member to learn mindfulness and self-awareness. Leaders must also work to understand each of his followers backgrounds / cultures if possible, this wil make it much easier to effectively coordinate with them. Leaders must also work effectively and efficiently to ensure that the group remains on-task and achieves the goals it has previously set out, and should also make sure that that these overarching goals are restated to the group from time to time to make sure that no straying from them occurs.

Analysis: After watching Eric at the U Students Like Good Food meeting on Tuesday, I have a better understanding of how a leader is the caretaker for the group and that he must make sure that they don't forget the goals that they are reaching for and that they stay on task and are making tangible progress. Even though he discussed many different topics at the meeting, he made sure to reiterate the issues that were important to him and also to the larger group, this makes it easier to keep on track and to also see that progress is being made.
