Leadership

Edwin H. Friedman believes, “Leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future.” Leadership is the simple fact of applying your knowledge and ethics to something positive. With that you express the knowledge through your actions by involving the members and community. Through my years in high school I have contributed my time and ideas to organizations, eventually becoming a leader to the school and community by carrying myself in a proper manner.
Having leadership takes dedication, honesty, and tolerance. As a leader I am open to a variety of people and have realized that we are all alike. Being in organizations has improved my leadership skills by giving me the confidence to give speeches and make good decisions on behalf of my members. When making decisions, I’m sure to input the ideas of others and not just my own. Through my experiences, I have learned ways to handle different situations, such as officer’s duties or even an error in a fundraiser. Leadership has given me the ability to teach others and make the world a better place.
