Leadership

Throughout my collegiate career, I have been blessed with the opportunity of being in the presence of exceptional and effective leaders. From these experiences, I have found that, in order to be an effective leader, it is essential for a person to be able to communicate and he/she must be humble. One might question how these two seemingly different characteristics or qualities relate to being a leader, but you must note that without these two qualities effective leadership is lost.
Communication is everything. Without it, nothing would be accomplished. Because of this, it is vital that anyone assuming a leadership role be able to clearly state the objectives of the group. Whether it be a top executive guiding his subordinates or a coach directing his/her team, he/she must possess the ability spell out the intentions of the group to make certain that everyone is on the same page so that there is no ambiguity. An effective leader in any discipline knows what to say to motivate his

In order for one to become a leader, he/she must continue to exercise his/her communication skills and continue to remain humble through it all. As for myself, I plan to continue to do what is necessary to be an effective leader.

When in the event of assuming a leadership role on the athletic filed, I may be given the task of teaching leadership skills to a group of teammates. Where do you start? What do you teach them? Well, I would teach them people skills. People skills are a foundation in leadership, making it a logical choice. Some may argue that people skills are innate characteristics and not learned. In such case, it would be my task of not teaching, but rather enhancing my teammates people skills. Leaders do not lead themselves they lead others. A leader must be able to deal with a diverse g
