A clear vision helps you pursue dreams and achieve goals; an idea of the future. According to me, a vision helps clear your mind to the endless possibilities.The continual presence of a vision helps to motivate against: failure, emotional hardships and real hardships. A vision of a leader can be spread to others with proper communication.

As said earlier, i didn't consider my self as a leader previously. But as we moved further in this course i realized that i do possess some traits of a leader. I consider my self to be a transformational leader since i adapt to the situation, have a clear vision about changes that need to done and can motivate and work along my team to achieve those goals. And i think that's something every leader should possess. Its not about leading or ruling, its about helping and growing together

I believe that each individual has a scope to improve something that he lacks or say for self development. Goals are important guidelines to help us achieve it.

So, i would say my leadership goal is ;

To be a better listener

To keep learning something new

I tend to get a lot more impatient while someone else is putting their point forward. i realize that every leader should be a good listener in order to understand his team members and to take in action their point of view. I feel the need to learn to pay attention and demonstrate to others that I value what they have to say.
This also helps in collaborating and interacting with members to improve relations with my peers.

Since, leaders constantly work on solving big problems or creating and innovating new ways to do things. for example; improving communication skills, time management, adapting to changes, overcoming a fear etc.
