Success is success in a leader

What makes a good leader?

Today, I will talk about what makes a good leader. I think approaching leadership with a team approach is best. Where everyone has an opinion and they all get accomplished at some point. Leadership should not be a one man army. It needs to be the faces of many people. One person, as a leader can have decision making skills, but the decisions should be made in a concession or by a vote of many people. So the decisions are fair. The leader has to be all right with this decision because two heads are better than one. The leader needs to have good communication skills, and be empathetic to the greater of all the people. Also, it will probably help if the leader is well organized so he comes to meetings with an agenda. It will also help if the leader has a clear vision of what he wants to accomplish with the group of people. Thank you for reading.

Follower made a leader

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

A long time ago, I used to hang out with my cousin and he would always find a way to get me in trouble. We used to start fires, steal mail, and start more fires. Once, we started a tree on fire but fortunately we had a vacuum hose to put it out. He kept hitting the fire with the vacuum hose until it eventually, was put out.

Well, back then I was a follower. Until the night I got shot in the head that woke me up and since then, I have become a leader, I no longer let people lead me into trouble.

Plus I am disabled which helps because if I walk around and do not say anything. People assume I am developmentally delayed, and leave me alone. Even though, my left arm doesn’t work and I walk with a limp. I still can talk and hold a conversation which is important. I don’t consider myself developmentally delayed.

I used to not be able to lead because of my cousin and my father being so overbearing and it was there way or the highway. Now both of them are out of my life and now I can breathe that they are gone. Leading has become easier now that they are gone.
