When it comes to myself in a leadership role, my style depends on whether or not I am on or off the field. Being captain of some of of my football and soccer teams I have had to take on a strong leadership role in order to lead my teams to victory. When it comes to being on the field I take on more of an authoritative style. This promotes the importance of succeeding in the moment. Anything can change within seconds in a game so a strong authoritarian leader can be the difference between winning or losing. Strong leadership can increase the level of performance during the game and is vital to a winning team. I have found that being authoritative on the field can keep the energy up during a game and keep other players motivated and focused.
