Leadership! Influencing Another
Before I use to believe that being a leader was the person that was always telling someone what to do, or had to do it. No, a leader can be anybody at any given time of the day. Taking that first step to help someone that is struggling or asking a question about information that you do not understand are some example of leaders. Everyday you could be influencing a persons’ life and not ever realize it. Leadership is not a something that you learn but a trait that comes with time and experience. Setting an example, improving from your mistakes, and learning from them help you as a person but can influence someone else with out even realizing you did. Everyone is a leader in his or her own little way.
“Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.”

I really like your thought process of the ideas of being a leader. When I first decided to be apart of the leadership and community engagement floor, I thought I would be at the back of the pack because I imagined a leader to be outspoken, loud, and always taking charge too. Now through our class and the experience that I have gained I also understand that being a leader is quiet different. Like you explained it’s about because a good person for yourself first and that could potential help others without even knowing. I hope to keep bettering my self not only for myself but others as well! And that’s what I think makes a good leader.
