Up until recently I didn't know who I was as a leader, what qualities I admired in a leader, and what my leadership style was. After finding some examples of what I thought leadership meant to me through movies, famous leaders, quotes, and articles, I came up with this:
My strongest area of leadership is in relationships.
I want to be a leader people can trust.
I want my followers to know they will be cared for.
I admire those who stay true to their word and stand up for what they believe in.
I believe leaders should be able to think outside the box and get things done.
I believe leaders should be encouraging, inspirational and influence change.
I believe leaders should be about their people and be willing to not only lead, but serve.
I value service in leadership and strive to serve others.
I value a leader with strong character and beliefs.
I value transformation.
I admire leaders such as: Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, and Susan B. Anthony. Those who stand up for what they believe in and fight for what is right are leaders worth looking up to. Will Smith in "The Pursuit of Happyness" and Sandra Bullock in "The Blindside" both acquire excellent leadership traits. They believe in something and go for it and don't let anyone or anything stand in their way. Peter F. Drucker once said, "Management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the right things." Kenneth Hartley Blanchard said that "The key to successful leadership is influence, not authority." It's important to remember that people can change other people's lives.
