Roles Of Leadership

The world has seen many types of leaders throughout its existence. Leaders with enough integrity, confidence, passion and the boldness to be the backbone of a whole. Without the presence and effect of leadership, things would never be the same. Things are the way they are today because of these previous leaders and their mission to make the world better. “The action of leading a group of people or an organization” is what these people strived for to ensure a bright future. Roles of leadership have shaped and continue to shape the way

Acts of leadership have carved the pathway for society by setting the standards high of what's expected of a leader. Discipline, emotional intelligence, and confidence are qualities that set leaders and followers

I have seen this multiple times, whether it was at school, work or even in public. A true leader leads by example, displaying what it takes and means to be a leader. Although, you don’t have to be in a leadership position to show leadership. For example, in a group project at school, there is no designated leader. Rather than everyone scrambling to figure out which part of the assignment is theirs to do, someone in that group can show leadership by accordingly assigning everyone a job they’re content with.

Leadership takes strong will, motivation, voice and an open mind. A leader is willing to listen to what everyone wants, staying away from only their perspective. A trait effective leaders show is being socially aware of their community. Understanding what the people want, and how they feel. Although, leadership isn’t only listening but taking action as well. For example, when you attend a counseling your problems are not only listened to but an action is appointed to resolve the issue. These same actions are expected to be met by someone with the leadership

One prime example of executing leadership, showing boldness and confidence, Dwight Eisenhower:

“A five-star General in the US army, Eisenhower was Supreme Allied Commander for the D-Day invasion of occupied Europe and the subsequent liberation of occupied Europe (1944–45). He led the Allied coalition to victory, smoothing over simmering tensions with great political skill. He went on to become President of the US (1952-1960)”. (Pettinger) Because of his leadership attributes, he was a highly respected Army General and had success winning the role of President of the United States. Much like Eisenhower, Martin Luther King Jr. displayed brave and confident acts of hope to reshape a better
