No two leaders are the same; everyone has their own personalities, their own strengths and weaknesses. However, I believe that there are some important traits that help people be effective leaders.
So how do I define leadership? Several words and phrases come to mind.
· Service, true leaders serve those they lead.
· Consistent, a leader does not change their stance when a little criticism is shown, they stand true to the position they know is right, even when they stand alone.
· Willing to make tough choices, a leader cannot pass the buck to anyone else; they must make the tough decisions.
“We want leaders to be likeable, personable, regular people; at the same time we want them to be above reproach, better than average, and demonstrative of our high standards.” Building an Authentic Leadership Image
