leadership

Based on what you know about yourself, what kind of leader is most effective for you? Think about the kind of leader in your life who is able to motivate you or get you to do what you didn't think you could.

The kind of leader that motivates me is a leader that I find inspirational. To me an inspirational leader is one who is confident, willing to take positive risks,and will listen to ideas and tries to incorporate them into their decisions. Obviously I like a leader who agrees with me the majority of the time, but sometimes them disagreeing with me is a good thing because it opens my eyes to new ideas.

Another characteristic of a leader the motivates me is their ability to be persuasive. It is really helpful when someone can persuade you to do something that maybe you didn't want to do, or were hesitant on doing, but then it turns out great in the end. You also want a leader who is well liked so that others will follow him too and more of his ideas will get across if they have more followers. It really depends on the situation for me to determine what kind of leader I prefer. for some situations I may prefer a stronger-minded, more hard core type of person. For other situations the leader may just be someone who i more look up to yet they may not be very vocal about their beliefs. These are just a few characteristics that I look for in a leader that i would look up to in life.
