This week we were asked to create blog posts about what being a leader means to us, individually. This was a hard question to answer for me, as I believe that there are many kinds of leaders that are effective and important depending on the situation.
Nonetheless, the most important quality a leader can have (in all situations) is to be inspiring or to lead by example. Even a manager at a boring factory job can be a good leader if he works hard and appears to enjoy his work. As a student I strive to work harder if I can see that my teacher has spent time and energy on the lesson plan and is passionate about teaching or the subject material. Other important qualities are trustworthiness, firmness, and decisiveness (I could go on but I think these are the most vital).
Being a leader means making the choice to care about your job, or whatever you're doing, and making a commitment to it until you've achieved your goals.
