In society, we often have to work with others, ranging from friends to complete strangers. As such, it bets the question, “How do we motivate our teammates?” in the event of being paired together as to deliver the optimum result. Based on personal experience, I would say the main way is to go about it with equality, regardless of hierarchical position within the group. Deliverables should be split evenly amongst all the members of the group, however as a leader, one should go above and beyond…

A leader is a person that leads a group of people or an organization. A group would not be able to function to its full potential without the presence of a leader. Leaders are the backbones. Could there be a ship without a captain? Could there be a kingdom without king? There is a possibility for these instances, but there would be conflict. A Ship without a captain would not be able to reach its destination. A kingdom without a king would not have progression and the people’s consent. Beowulf…

Being a boss and being a leader are too different things. It’s not likely to find someone who’s both a good boss or a leader. I’m fortunate enough to know a great leader, her name Jessica Kelly. Miss. Kelly is the Principle at my high school. She has been at the school for 4 years, but it feels like a lifetime. She’s originally from Michigan. She studied elementary education, and taught kindergarten before coming to North Carolina. Being a principle is a hard job, you have to excel in many…

As told by President Harry Truman, “In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.” Leadership has always played pivotal role in every achievement one has ever accomplished. We in every stage of our lives, come across many people who lead the way and set a path for others to take and accomplish. I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of…

This doesn’t mean that a leader that makes a supposedly rash decision after…
