Week 7 Blogging Challenge: Leadership

May1

Leadership is not just something for power, it’s for people who believe they can help the world.  Most of us have been leaders in the past, and we all know how to act like one. So, if there is some problem or some belief that you have in something good then step up and be a leader.

A great example of leadership in my own school is WEB which stands for Where Everybody Belongs. This program asks for to be 7th and 8th graders to help with the incoming 6th graders. WEB requires that all of the to be 7th and 8th graders are great leaders. Some characteristics of leadership are patience, honesty, respect, a lot of focus and passion.

Being a leader is harder than it looks, you need self discipline. You also need to know how to make unbiased decisions, especially when it comes to friends. We all have friends that we care dearly for, so when it comes to leadership, you have to hear other people out because they may have great ideas too.

Not all leaders are necessarily good leaders. One example is Adolf Hitler, a heartless and cruel man, he was a leader and as we all know, but he wasn’t a good one. Another example is in the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. Napoleon, one of the leaders of Animal Farm, turned bad on everybody without really telling them, he promised better times for all animals yet he violated rules and made times only worse. He was very cryptic when he changed the commandments so that it would look better to all animals but only be better to the pigs and dogs.

Short or tall, shy or outgoing, boy or girl, we are all leaders. we all have one thing in common: knowing what’s right. So know that you have seen that being a leader is not so bad, try it.

    Nice reflection on leadership. I agree with you that everyone can do it — and I will add one more key characteristic to be successful as a leader: willingness to go beyond your “comfort zone” on a regular basis. That, plus what you wrote in your post will help you and those you lead go further, faster!
