Leadership is and has been important since the beginning of evolution. Have you ever seen the Lego movie, where the guy lives in a land where everything is awesome, however nobody thinks for themselves? That is how we would be without leaders. Leaders are full of wisdom, guidance and without them, where would we be today? Our society as a whole would be shaped so differently, I wouldn't want to imagine where we would be.

Leadership is important because it gives everybody a chance for their opinions to be heard, whether it is their voice or not. Leaders create leaders, and people want to follow them because they are successful, unique and they stand out. A leader is somebody who can solve problems, cuts tension and makes people think. They are positive role models for people and have different impacts in people lives.
I chose to create a blog about leadership because I feel I am a leader. I like when people listen to my ideas. I chose who I want to be around and for different reasons. For example, when I met my best friend, he was down in the dumps in life. His parents were going through a divorce, and his so called best friend ditched him, and then I came along. I chose to hang out with him which made positive impacts in both of our lives. After that, my circle slowly expanded and now I have 3 best friends who I know have my back. In our group, I believe my voice is the loudest and I am not afraid to speak my mind.

A leader asks questions when they are stuck and is not dumb enough not to use his or her resources. People like me create alliances with others which help in the future. I attend Sheridan College and people who I am not sure who they exactly are want to hang out with me, because I am such a positive person. I look for the good in people rather then the bad, because that is what I want people to do for me. Respect is earned, not deserved and although it may be a harsh reality to some, it is true.

How a Leader Makes Decisions

Mattson, Jennifer.ncojournal. 2013

I hate selfish people, don't you? Some people only think about themselves, and what will benefit them in the long run rather then somebody else. They don't worry about anybody else's feeling which hurts. That is not a leader, that is a greedy person. A leader is somebody who cares about their followers, co-workers, teammates and generally everybody. A leader thinks about how their actions affect everybody else whether it may be positive or negative. Take for example an army Sargent. He constantly guides his troops men thinks about everybody. He wants his troops to survive, therefore he strategically guides them. He is highly respected by the other troops, and they look up to him and are honoured to be given orders by him.

Leaders do not think about themselves before making decisions, because if they did nobody would follow their lead. The leaders that make decisions without consulting their people, they are not well liked. They only care about themselves and money which is not fair and doesn't get them very fair.

A leader is highly respected, and there is a reason they are in charge. They have either done good things for an organization, a community or a country. There are few exceptions, such as dictatorship which is based on power and fear. However these people aren't respected, they are just in charge due to power which has been passed down. A true leader does not create followers, they create leaders. This means they build somebody's confidence by encouraging them, complimenting them when they have done good work or when they have noticed improvement Image result for leader

Leaders are effective and efficient. I have met good ones, and bad ones. The difference people a good and bad leader reflects in their employees/ teammates. If they are highly motivated, they will be more willing to work then if they are constantly being under minded, judged and not respected. Let me ask you this, who would you rather get instructions from, a selfish idiot, or somebody who cares about you?
