What Is Leadership?

What is leadership?

What is leadership? In the article by Max De Pree it seems that leadership amounts to a ton of responsibility. Leaders should leave any thought of money or building a legacy at the door. Leaders should not be focused on their selves but on the team or cooperation that stands behind them. Leaders are obligated to motivated and keep others motivated. As leaders try to instill a sense of momentum as to how close can they get to their common goal. Leaders are responsible for effectiveness. Leaders need to be the ones responsible by trying to get his coworkers or teammates to reach their potential. Leaders must grasp who is to be listened to and when. This way during different situations others can use their gifts to the fullest and effective way. Leaders should also take a role in developing values and civility in others. If you don't have good people in your organization or try to better others in the organization. You can almost bet that the organization will not prosper to where they want to go with no good values.

What is leadership is a common question every head of an organization or player thinks about. What do I do to make sure we get to where we want to go. As an assistant basketball coach I try to have my players ask theirs selves that question each day. And as a college football player I try to live up to what I think is leadership each day. One quote I like to use around my player is "Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching". It kind of makes the kids think. If one person can hustle and behave then we all can follow. Being a leader I think is not just the hoorah and scream guys. It can also be the guys who are quiet and just do what they are told to do at a hundred and ten percent. Finding out what leadership is to people is very hard. How to lead is very hard. However, if you do the right thing and just go about having a desire to be better at what you it will come natural from there.
