A good leader has a positive influence over others, inspiring them to become a better person and an example for others to model their life against, as well.” – Mark Little Leaders strive for excellence and push others around them to strive to their furthermost potential. Leaders focus on their weaknesses to make them become their strengths. Leaders care about those around them.…
To me a person who is a leader leads by example. Ever since I was in middle school I have tried to always do the right thing and guide my peers into a direction that is best for them. Since coming to Woodberry my Freshman year I feel as though I have grown stronger in this trait. One example that stands out particularly is when I was on the Bengal football team, and it was a scorching day early on in the year. It seemed as though everybody had a terrible day, and it was looking like we were having a horrible practice.…
Hello Dr. Bodam and Classmates: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." past United States of America President John Quincy Adams. A few of my primary strengths as a leader is the ability to understand inspire and motivate people to new heights. Over the years I have showcased levels of high emotional intelligence which mixed with my experience has resulted in my successes only after much failure. I have always been the person who likes to work with the people that typically no one likes to work with – the underachievers or at-risk group.…
Something that makes a leader is seen in all of us. Leadership skills don’t only consist on how courageous or strong you are. Being a leader is more about your commitment, passion, and trustworthiness. Leaders have been seen all over the era of slavery by many slave abolitionists that have put their mind to something and changed America as we know it. People like Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and President Lincoln have all took the liberty of trying to make America a better place and after many hardships we have finally achieved a goal.…

Everybody is a leader in their own way, I lead from my courage and bravery. I believe that a person needs to solely depend on themselves when it comes to decision making. I know that there are people who need the help of others, but a choice is always personal. That 's why I have the courage do try new things or “volunteer as tribute” when I see fit, because I look inside me for the right choice. My bravery shows when a task is asked upon my peers and myself, and I stand up first.…
A leader should be someone you look up to and who does the right thing. Anyone can be a leader, but to be a good leader you must be honest, respectful, kind and you must take responsibility of your actions whether they are right or wrong. Leadership and service go hand in hand. Leaders must serve the people they are leading. If a leader does not give back to the people he or she serves they are likely not doing a very good job of showing others how to act responsibly or what values are necessary to making their environment better.…
The four pillars of NHS, service, scholarship, leadership, and character, mean a lot to me. Some of them relate to me more than others, but all play a huge part in NHS. Not one of them is more important than the rest. Creating these four pillars help shape who you are in NHS and even who you are for the rest of your life. To me, I think being a part of NHS would mean being able to learn and become a more responsible, smarter, helpful leader.…

If one ranks leaders on how well they led by example, surely one of our greatest leaders is none less than the 26th U.S. president, Theodore Roosevelt. “Do as I say, not as I do” is a philosophy that many leaders take, however, this builds bitter resentment in the eyes of the people. The best leaders have always been ones who lead by example, showing their followers how its done, both speaking of ideals and showing them. Theodore Roosevelt led by example by working against big businesses that oppressed consumers, working for the betterment of himself, and fighting for what he believed in.…
A normal person might strive to be average, to be the okay for the moment and never truly use their full potential. For a normal person, being in a leadership position can sometimes be too hard, complicated, and stressful if they are not dedicated or prepared. Each of these factors can discourage many people, people who have the potential but not the training or motivation to hold a position of leadership. I, however, believe that I have the potential, the training, and the motivation to do something amazing as the VP of District Four. As I stated, every person has the potential to be a leader, though some stand out more than others.…
