We encounter leaders every day without noticing them. A good leader will always think about what is in your best interest and how their actions/words might affect you in the future. Leaders are always planning ahead and coming up with new strategies that all have the same result which is success.

For example a good leader would be Hillary Clinton because she thinks about others instead of herself like children. She wants children to have the best education and to live in great conditions. Clinton also plans on great tax returns for everyone to be satisfy and fair. Unlike Trump who is a bad leader, he puts money first instead of people. He wants to make the U.S into a business company and does not care for others. 

A leader is someone who helps others. A person who always try’s their best and wants to do the right thing.  Someone who protects the country. A person a lot of people look up, to many people this person is a hero. Someone that is noble and gentle, a person that cares about the world. Lastly a person that is always willing to help out others.

A leader is genially a good person. They never steal, they help everyone. These people make everyone make correct decisions. They can help the country and the people in it. They are liked by others and make people smile. ��Va�M;

 A good leader “walks the talk” and in doing so earns the right to have responsibility for others. True authority is born from respect for the good character and trustworthiness of the person who leads. A example of a great leader is President Barack Obama is a good leader because he is perceptive. As the leader of the free world, President Barack Obama rallies for the people. He understands that the United States can only work as a unit when everyone has the same opportunities in healthcare, education and employment. Not only does he care for our country but he keeps this country safe and I honestly think we as (usa) are not gonna have a president as good and pure as Barack Obama For a long time.

An example of a great leader would be Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama is married to the president Barack Obama. They are both great examples of great leaders. They are both very intelligent and respectful. They also help many people become something more. They encourage people to keep going and to not stop. Being a leader comes with many important aspects but if you are respected and truthful anyone will respect you.

 

      A good leader is never influenced by those who are irresponsible. A good leader has a thoughtful mind; always thinking of others. This leader is not a follower, has good confidence, and pursues for what is right. This person is not perfect either, but they always know what they shouldn't, and should do. 

 

A leader is someone you look up to because they inspire you. In order to be a good leader you must have certain traits. Within these traits comes being humble, determined, confident, and generosity. Being a leader is not the same as being a boss and telling everyone to go do something, being a leader means you do it too but you lead them to your destination. Leaders should have the audacity to stand up for what they believe. They are fearless of what others think of them. They are fearless of letting us know what they stand for.

 

President Obama is a great example of what a good leader is. Obama has lead this country to prosperity. He has stood with this country through the good times and the bad times. He is loyal to this country, respectful to the government and anyone who has the chance to meet him. Barack Obama understands that this country can only work as a unit when every person has the same opportunities. No matter what you are in life you are provide with health care, education, and employments. Not only is he helping us with this but also keeping our country as safe as it can be. Another great leader that I look up to everyday of my life is my Mother. It takes a lot to be a mother, but as a mother you should never quit at life no matter where you are standing in life. A mother is a child’s best friend. Your mom has been there for you since the day you took your first breath of air. She has been there for you through it all just like Obama has been to this country.

 

One person who shows great leadership is Martin Luther King Jr. he stood up and called for change on a topic that many thought to be hopeless. He rose and called all people together, no matter the race, and fought for African American rights, he organized and executed so many movements, and if not for him it might have been a while longer before black people got their rights. Another great example is George Washington he lead a revolution to the birth of a new country, not many people can say that. He lead people on the battlefield and in the office.

What is a great leader?

A great leader is the person who is willing to fight for what is right and sacrifice whatever is necessary in order to bring change. A leader is brave and although fearful, willing to fight against those fears. A leader does not let the obstacles and struggles of life interfere with his/her leadership. A leader is patient and kind with his/her followers; they teach their followers how to grow and prosper in the world. A leader is ambitious and eager to better the situation and teach those around him. A great leader is confident yet humble, they don’t get into their heads and think too much of themselves. 

A prime example of a great leader is Martin Luther King. He fought for equality for both black and whites by leading peaceful protests. He spoke with wisdom and intelligence and gave his followers hope. Another example of a great leader is Malala Yousafzai. She is a young girl who is fighting for education for girls in the Middle East. She has gone through extremely tough situations, one being that she was shot in the head, but still manages to spread her message and continues to fight for what she believes in. She does not let the struggles of life keep her from achieving her goals and that is a leader.

One example of a great leader is Martin Luther King Jr. He was the most important voice of all the American Civil rights movement.Which worked for equal rights for all.He was famous for using nonviolent resistance to overcome justice.Martin also was the one who had  the most unforgettable speech in the world known as the "I Had A Dream" speech . He never got tired of trying to end segregation laws.He spoke powerfully and believed in every word he said. He was trusted by his community and followers.

The best leaders exhibit certain qualities that make them hugely successful. They are clear and concise at all times--there is not question of their vision and what needs to be accomplished. Once they have made up their mind, they don't hesitate to commit--it's all hands on deck. They show great consistency with their decisions. Boldness is both something you can develop and something that is blessed as a virtue. Although some people are naturally more fearless than others, practicing how to be fearless--or at least project fearlessness--is a completely double task. There's nothing more inspirational than seeing someone who cares about what they do--the best leaders exhibit boundless energy and passion for what they do, and last but not least, While confidence is a very attractive trait in leaders, there's nothing like a humble character for creating a lovable persona. 

            A leader is someone who guides others to succeed, not only having good qualities such as, bravery, intelligence, and selflessness. A leader is someone who will remain humble in which every activity they take. Someone who stands up for what is right, even if they are standing alone is considered a leader. One who doesn't judge, or makes the right choices are the ones capable of remaining good leaders, individuals who find another way to attain their problems are considered great leaders. Lastly, confidence is the key to becoming a leader, confidence gives you the power to do something for the better, to help, to guide others along the way.

          One man that stood out to me the most is a man called Martin Luther King Jr. One thing he was known for was because of his knowledge and determination, also the cause he fought for. His ability to communicate, his message clearly gave his followers a vision of what they were fighting for, and his choice to embrace suffering cause by those who opposed him demonstrated his commitment to his beliefs in the eyes of his followers.The part that I admired the most about king was that he never gave up for what he believed him he is a great example of a leader.

                One example of these characteristics of leader ship can be seen in a sport. The captain of the team is always encouraging the team and does not show signs of weakness. They also sacrifice themselves and go out of their way for the team for anything. Another example may be a firefighter captain, they always are leading the team and giving them instructions on how to get the fire to stop. Also they are always the first ones to sacrifices their lives and be the first on to scope out the building. He is the one that enters first and leaves last so none of his men go down before he does.

          A leader in a community is the one that is pushing on along with the rest of the people. That individual cannot be alone. A leader needs followers. The followers do not just copy and obey orders of a leader blindly. The leader has to make careful decisions that will benefit those in his community. Being a leader in a community should not be tyranny. The leader should be thinking about others and must be moving forward at all times one way or another.

There are many leaders around us daily but we just don't know it. Even if we are not eighteen and can't vote for president doesn't mean we do not select leaders. In high school, most kids have to vote for a student body president and we, the students, vote according to who we believe has all these qualities. An example will be the presidential election now and the president we have right now. We are looking to see which presidential candidate goes for what we believe in and we check important qualities like those stated before. We elected our president because of what we believed he could do and because of how he is. Another example could be our principles and teachers because even if we just take them as normal people, they are leaders and lead us to a great future. They help us daily and that is what a leader does.

       The characteristics and traits of a good leader is someone who is honest, takes responsibility, and someone who calmly handles all types of situations weather good or bad. Leaders always need to understand what it’s like to be in charge of something. A leader is the person that takes initiative and has a person from a group so at least one thing so all can work together. They don’t force others into doing something they do not want instead a leader would help a person by inspiring them to complete another task. A leader always interacts with others while having a positive attitude to have shown a type of trust in one another. A leader’s goal is to guide others to success and a life of being independent to become a leader themselves.

      An example of a good leader is Shortstop & captain of the New York Yankees, Derek Jeter. When he began his 20th and final season, Derek Jeter remained the type of role-model player that any fan of any team would respect. Derek won five World Series rings and led his team to a major record for career hits. Although Derek did take steroids during his time in reality-TV, Jeter, has been an inspiration to all. His fame is not only because he is the son of two Army veterans, it is because he continues to stand out from his old self by never using excuses and never gave less than maximum effort. Derek Jeter has been a leader to many and will continue because the followed the traits of a great leader.

Another trait that a good leader should have is Self-direction. Self-direction is when you’re able to direct yourself effectively and powerfully. You know how to get things done, how to organize tasks and how to avoid procrastination. A good leader would be Barack Obama because he helped the lower and middle classes out with Obama care so everyone could afford it. He inspires and motivates people to be whatever they want to be. 

Leaders are very passionate about what they're doing and will do anything to succeed. Leaders aren't self made they are driven, not everyone can be a leader. They are very patient and understand that not every thing can be rushed. Leaders are very open-minded and don't care what people have to say about them. Leaders are positive and don't accept failure and never doubt theirselves. Leaders are very important to this society 

 

One example of a good leader is Steve Jobs. He is an entrepreneur, inventor, and industrial designer. He started off working with computers in a garage. He has a vision for computers and later on started Apple, one of the best companies in the world. By thinking different and following his inner passion, he was successful leading his company and he also helped and worked with many people. Being successful isn’t also easy because there will be many challenges along the way, you have to believe in yourself and don’t just have a limited life. Steve Jobs was kicked out of his own company but still managed to take his position back! One way he made a difference in the community is that he has developed many innovative products so people can use. He changed the way people use computers. I learned that it is not always about the money, but it is what you are truly passionate about that creates great work! 

                Steve Jobs has effected the world we live in, most of us use his Apple products.  He was able to build his empire because he had confidence and ambition.  Jobs says, “Yes you can do it. You can deliver, don’t be afraid.”  With those simple words he was able to motivate himself and his team to keep going and that nothing can stop them.  Steve Jobs has been a great leader because not only was he able to succeed with himself and his company but he was able to help companies around the world reach their goal.  He couldn’t do any of that without confidence.   //tonIY)bˮ

One good example of a good leader is Martin Luther King Jr. he peacefully lead a movement for the rights of African Americans. Gandhi is another good leader as he peacefully protested against the british rule in India and succeeded in doing so. Bill Clinton Was a good leader, despite being scandalous his business life was very successful, he left the U.S. economy in great shape. George Washington was a great leader, he lead a nation on the battlefield and in the office.

When you think of a leader, the first thing that comes to mind is someone who is in charge or someone who controls others. This is far from what truly makes someone a leader. A leader is someone with the ability to take responsibility, has good communication skills, and someone you can count on. To shine more light on these qualities, a leader is someone who acts ethically and responsibly, as well as someone who keeps their word. Communication between a leader and those who they are representing is one of the most important traits a leader must have. They should speak directly and create a strong connection between them and those they are serving. A great leader instills positive energy and a sense of safety/comfort in others around them.

A prime example of a leader would be Nelson Mandela, Former President of South Africa. Nelson Mandela was a man of peace, who thought only positive thoughts and strived for great success for his people and their future. He was a humble man, not to mention selfless and full of hope, not hate, which reflected onto the people who followed him. These are all things that made him a remarkable person, as well as an amazing leader. He will be remembered in the memories of all the people he has inspired and changed the lives of.

Another example of a great leader is Martin Luther King Jr.. He led the civil rights movement in the U.S. and fought for equal rights in America. He made a great leader because he was direct with his goals for our society. He had a dream, communicated it well and succeeded in reaching his goal.

Leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way.
A great leader leads their team to victory with great courage and sacrifice.

A leader is someone who has strength. Emotionally, physically, and mentally. They know how to compose themselves in any situation, and how to deal with certain situations when the time arises. They can take charge in bad times, and always know what to do. They make smart decisions.

 An example of a great leader would be Nelson Mandela, Former President of South Africa. Mandela was a peaceful man who strived for the life of others and for peace. He knew for to care for others, and extend forgiveness to those who did wrong to him. Although he went through a lot of hardships, he never gave up. He took charge and ended up being President. He was an amazing leader, and an example we should all follow. 

            I believe that there are only three qualities that make a great leader: determination, inelegance, and creativity. With these three qualities, I believe that anyone can become a great leader.

            The reason determination is a necessary trait for a great leader is very obvious. A determined leader can push his/her ideas forward and will do so even in the face of adversity. Without determination, a leader cannot truly be called a leader as their ability to lead would be completely nullified by anyone who puts minimal effort in trying to stop them. A leader needs to be able to lead the people, but he/she cannot lead the people if they are so spineless as to sway with the slightest push. They must be strong in their views and willing to work hard to achieve those goals. This is a necessary trait in a leader, but on its own is worthless.

            The other traits that a leader must have are inelegance and creativity. The reason for both of these is very straight forward. A leader must be intelligent in order to effectively work towards their goals as well as know how to achieve their goals to begin with. They must also be creative in order to finds new solutions to problems, or new ways of achieving the same goal. These two traits go hand-in-hand and are vital to the success of a great leader and those who follow him/her. These two traits coupled with a determined personality, create a powerful leader who can achieve any goal they set their sights on. 

An example of a great leader would be Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama is married to the president Barack Obama. They are both great examples of great leaders. They are both very intelligent and respectful. They also help many people become something more. They encourage people to keep going and to not stop. Being a leader comes with many important aspects but if you are respected and always tell the truth anyone will respect you.

An example of a great leader is Martin Luther King Jr. He wanted to have the same rights as all white American’s did and so he fought what he believed for with great leader ship. He lead his people very well because a genuinely cared for them. Now because of what Martin Luther King Jr has done African American’s have equal rights as white American’s do, all of this was accomplished because of his great leader ship.

Being a leader is a choice one makes, no one is born being a leader. However, it takes several characteristics for one to be considered a leader. To begin with, a leader must be confident. It takes confidence in oneself to follow decisions that may be the opposite of what everyone is doing. Besides confidence, it takes passion to be a good leader. Without passion no leader would have the motivation to make a positive difference in the world. Furthermore, persistence is vital for one to be a good leader. A person who wants to be a leader must understand that great things take time. Finally, a good leader is open-minded. By being open-minded, a leader is accepting of all people despite of the differences they may share. 

Malcolm X was a black leader during the civil rights era, he is recognized as one of the most prominent and controversial leaders. Malcolm X is a good leader because he had great charisma and would question authority. Continuing on, Malcolm X was an inspiration to many. Finally, Malcolm X was extremely brave. He was an  assassination target yet it made little differences to his life.

My friends family are all examples of great leaders, they are some of the most noble, wise, and humble people I will ever have in my life.  They give everything they can on birthdays, holidays, and even regular days, to organizations, homeless shelters, animal shelters, and even my own family. They give whatever they have even though they need financial help themselves. My friends parents are great parents, they let their kids try and fail, and give them their space and opportunity to grow and learn. My friend is a great leader because he works to support his family as such a young age, and is also willing to give his time, energy, and love to others no matter what time of day it is. His family is definitively inspiring; it motivates me to become just like them. Everyone on this earth should strive to become a great leader, it helps yourself at the same time it helps others grow.  

 

President Obama is a great example of what a good leader is. Obama has lead this country to prosperity. He has stood with this country through the good times and the bad times. He is loyal to this country, respectful to the government and anyone who has the chance to meet him. Barack Obama understands that this country can only work as a unit when every person has the same opportunities. No matter what you are in life you are provide with health care, education, and employments. Not only is he helping us with this but also keeping our country as safe as it can be. Another great leader that I look up to everyday of my life is my Mother. It takes a lot to be a mother, but as a mother you should never quit at life no matter where you are standing in life. A mother is a child’s best friend. Your mom has been there for you since the day you took your first breath of air. She has been there for you through it all just like Obama has been to this country.

                Steve Jobs has effected the world we live in, most of us use his Apple products.  He was able to build his empire because he had confidence and ambition.  Jobs says, “Yes you can do it. You can deliver, don’t be afraid.”  With those simple words he was able to motivate himself and his team to keep going and that nothing can stop them.  Steve Jobs has been a great leader because not only was he able to succeed with himself and his company but he was able to help companies around the world reach their goal.  He couldn’t do any of that without confidence.   //tonIY)bˮ

Good Leaders

   A good leader is someone who sets good examples for everyone around them. Good leaders don’t necessarily have to be friends or other people in your community but it can be people you don’t even know. For example, firefighters are great leaders and most people might not even know one. Just the fact that they help make our community safe makes a lot of people want to follow in their foot steps. And also, even though we might not know them we are very thankful for them.

  Have you ever been in a car and have had to move out of the way for an oncoming ambulance, police car, or fire truck? Now think about all of the people they saved that day. I bet you have never thought of that. These are people that play very important roles here in our community and are big role models for a lot of young adults who aspire to be just like them. Good leaders don’t even have to be workers, it could even be your parents. People don’t notice it but kids really look up to their parents.

 

Leaders must set a good example and be considerate of others.  An example of a great leader is my baseball coach.  He is determined to be positive to motivate the players to stay focused and perform at the best of their abilities.  Sometimes errors can happen during a game.  It is helpful for the player to understand that the coach is there to help and make the player more successful by learning from the mistake.  As the leader of the team they need to be patient and inspire the player, so that he does not dwell on the error.  So there are many traits and characteristics that a great leader must portray 

    Leaders as well give back to others, such as Oprah Winfrey. She is one of the richest women on the planet because of her talk show and her intelligence behind managing her money. Although she saves her money and is smart with it, she as well give back a huge amount of money back to the community. She has many charities, in which she donates money to feed the poor, and mainly concentrates on the well being of children.

A great leader is a person who inspires you. A person that encourages you to do your best.A great leader doesn't come easy. Great leaders are amazingly talented in many ways. They can get across the correct way.They have great communicating skills.This is what a great leader is.

   Pope Francis is an example of a leader. He has electrified the church and attracted legions of non-Catholic admirers by energetically setting a new direction. He has washed the feet of a female Muslim prisoner, is driven around Rome in a Ford Focus, and famously asked “Who am I to judge?” with regard to the church’s view of gay members. Francis recently asked the world to stop the rock-star treatment. He knows that while revolutionary, his actions so far have mostly reflected a new tone and intentions. His hardest work lies ahead. And yet signs of a “Francis effect” abound: In a poll in March, one in four Catholics said they’d increased their charitable giving to the poor this year. Of those, 77% said it was due in part to the Pope.

An example of a great leader would be Rosa Parks. She stood up for herself and for the African American community knowing that she was breaking the law and knowing what she was doing was right; although many didn’t agree. Another great leader was Martin Luther king.  He had the traits of a leader, meaning he was confident, honest and showed commitment towards what he was fighting for. Both of them have the qualities of a good leader because although at the time many didn’t agree they worked towards the common goal of making a positive impact on society in the future.

 An example of a great leader would be Martin Luther King Jr. Who led the civil rights movement, inspired his followers with his integrity and way of transmitting his tremendous goals towards society.

            A leader is someone who does not act in a rude, controlling manner. Just because one is a leader doesn’t mean they get to abuse their power over anyone. They should keep a positive attitude but also be honest about what’s going on. In order to be a good leader, they can’t be closed minded or stingy. 

            A good leader is supposed to be open minded, and smart enough to play this kind of role. They also take their time with the team and their followers and not disappoint or leave anyone behind. They should also be confident enough to believe in themselves and most importantly, their followers.

A leader is someone who is able to guide a group of people. They tune into their group, regardless if they don’t succeed. Some characteristics a good leader should have is to be respectful, wise, friendly, and determined. Many of these traits, along with others, are crucial in order to be a great leader. You have to have to mind to be able to be put in charge and try your best to make your group of people succeed. They way your group acts and succeeds reflects on how well you led them into the right path.  

An example of a good leader is Martin Luther King Jr. martin was able to give his people hope and success for them to be treated with equal rights. Despite all the obstacles thrown at the black community he gave them dedication to keep on fighting for what they wanted. This was all given to his determination and passion to take his people out of a bad place. Another example is Obama. He was a leader of a nation who also brought hope to the people of the united states. Obama was always quick to solve problems and keep everyone in his thoughts. He brought in many new things to the united stated that people could benefit from such as Obama care. 

One example of a good leader would be Martin Luther King Jr. Because of him so many things became possible, the most important being equality. King was kind and honest and hardworking. All these traits equaled to him being an astounding leader. These are leaders that have never give up yet.

      A great leader is independent and an amazing role model. For example, my dance teacher impacted my life since I was 12 years old. She encouraged me to be the dancer I was meant to be and that I’m growing into to be. Also, she taught me how to express myself and be who I am while I’m dancing. That is what I call a great leader; someone who can encourage another person to be a better version of themselves. 

Many leaders of the world are people who have money and who have influence in there sphere of expertise. But not all leaders emerge with those circumstances, you can be a leader too. A leader must understand that order is essential to maintaining a position of power. This can be done in small scale circumstances. Being a dependable individual also leads you to be trusted more by the people, therefore being that much more likely to assume a position of leadership      

Another vital factor of becoming a great leader is the ability to plan. Planning it essential to the wellbeing of a leadership position. Planning ahead of time will allow you to adapt to any nuances if necessary. Therefore allowing the will of the people to be in your side, leading you to become successful.

Leaders are people who will always push people to do their best. It doesn't matter if they themselves aren't okay, but they'll make sure others are okay first. I'm always pushing people to do better because they can reach a potential not even the know. But it's reachable they just have to be pushed at times in order to get to that potential. 

          While a leader's actions may be scrutinized when things are going bad, it is their leadership qualities that shine through the worst of times. It is these same qualities that employees look up to, respect, and work very hard for. This is why it is so important for every leader to work hard to gain the qualities of great leadership. The best leaders exhibit certain qualities that make them hugely successful. 

 

            A great leader is clear and concise. this gives others the opportunity to digest their goals and decide whether or not they will support their cause. Another trait of a leader is decisiveness. Once they have made up their mind, they don't hesitate to commit. One of the most important attributes is passion. There's nothing more inspirational than seeing someone who cares about what they do. The best leaders exhibit boundless energy and passion for what they do. 

Many people think of a great leader and the first couple of people that pop up in their head are great popular leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. or Harriet Beecher Stowe or Abraham Lincoln or George Washington or Robert E. Lee. The thing is that all these people were nothing different from us. They probably had it worse than us back in time. They all came from farms or from nothing basically and grew up to be great political, social and even war leaders. This is because they were in the right place in the right time and also because they decided to fight against factors like war, oppression, and discrimination where nobody else ever thought to. When they rose then others who supported their ideas stood behind them faithfully as soldiers of their great leader.

Great leaders are clear and concise. They have no questions of their vision and they know what needs to be accomplished. This gives others the opportunity to digest their goals and decide whether or not they will support their cause. Once they have made up their mind, they don't hesitate to commit. They show great consistency with their decisions, rarely backing out or changing their minds unless it is absolutely necessary. Being decisive shows commitment, a quality very high in demand for a great leader. There's nothing more inspirational than seeing someone who cares about what they do--the best leaders exhibit boundless energy and passion for what they do. While confidence is a very attractive trait in leaders, there's nothing like a humble character for creating a lovable persona. 

An example of a great leader would have to be one of my teammates in my cheerleading team. She’s not officially team captain, but all of us go to her when were in need of something. And she knows when to calm us down when we get kind of out of hand. When the coaches aren’t around for warm up, she starts it off and she yells out what we are to do next. She also gives great advice right before we go full out and perform our routine. 

An excellent example of a great leader is Martin Luther King. He fought for equality for both black and whites by leading peaceful protests. He spoke with wisdom and intelligence and gave his followers hope. Another example of a great leader is Malala Yousafzai. She is a young girl who is fighting for education for girls in the Middle East. She has gone through extremely tough situations, one being that she was shot in the head, but still manages to spread her message and continues to fight for what she believes in. She does not let the struggles of life keep her from achieving her goals and that is a  leader.

-          Empowering

I would say Beyonce is someone who is a great leader because she makes a difference in the community by helping those in need and getting females and people through life by encouraging them to do better in life. People are often thrown off when it comes to the hardships in life and theres people or things those people look up to in order to get through it. Theres music, actors, actresses, and more that paint a role of a leader to those in need. People that are looked up to have value and respect for themselves and others. 

                I feel in order to be a leader you need to be able to put your foot down.  You need to be able to lead and say or do whatever it is that’s going on. You need to be able to fight through obstacles and be patient because if not youre not going to be able to get through life.

To further confuse the definition of leadership, we tend to use the terms "leadership" and "management" interchangeably, referring to a company's management structure as its leadership, or to individuals who are actually managers as the "leaders" of various management teams.

This is not necessarily a bad thing but leadership involves more. To be effective, a leader certainly has to manage the resources at her disposal. But leadership also involves communicating, inspiring and supervising - just to name three more of the primary skills a leader has to have to be successful.

             I think a perfect example of a great leader is former President Barack Obama.  He broke barriers and became the first black president, many people tried to beat him down but he was confident that he would be the best at the job, he beat the racism and prejudice and won the elections.  Barack Obama brought people together and worked to bring peace.  Barack Obama also used his high level job to become an advocate for the LGBT community, That just like him we’re treated unfairly.

             All in all, this is what I think a great leader would be like.  Someone dedicated, focused, passionate, caring and understanding.  A great leader will take everyone’s opinions into consideration, treat everyone fairly and make the right decisions. A person that communicates and advocates for everyone and does not pick and choose is what makes a person, not just a leader, but a great one.

         An example of a good leader would be the former president Barack Obama. The former president was the very first African-American president of the united states. He not only broke racial barriers but he also leads the country to some advantages. He increased employment rates, ended the war in Iraq, began the drawdown of shoulders from Afghanistan, helped the LGBT community gain rights, and a lot more. Obama helped a lot for our country, and that was because he was a great leader, and he had people that trusted and followed him. 

A leader can achieve this by showing and teaching respect, intelligence, and knowledge. These three traits help a member of a team become an even greater leader. Therefore, creating more leaders, is what can characterize a great leader. All in all, a great leader needs to be apart of his team and not stray away from what makes a union, a union.

Leaders can make a difference in the community in different ways. For example, if you are a leader that puts strict and unfair rules on your followers, your followers will fear you and they might rebel against you and that not a good. Being a great leader doesn’t mean people have to follow strict rules and laws, being a great leader mean that you have to inspire others to learn what it is to be the next great leader. Leaders can inspire others to help out the community by doing fundraisers and sending clothes to people and children who really need them. Being a great leader is a simple task only if you apply yourself to it.

Being a good leader doesn't mean you have to be super strict and mean. That will just make people feel you only care about rules and not them. Rules can be fun just don't be super strict and make people think all leaders are super mean. Leaders are everywhere like the types of leaders who are students, just like you. They make little festivals to help other people like homeless or a fundraiser for their school. 

In order to be a Great leader you must consider the needs of others. Being a great leader requires different qualities. For example taking into consideration others feelings when making an important decisions.In order to be a Great leader you must consider the needs of others too. Also take into consideration others feelings when making an important decisions. As a leader you should always listen to opinions because everyone’s perception is different. 

For example, you may believe that taking the long way to the park is a good idea due to the amount of steps you can get in, but someone else might think the shorter path is better because of the exercise equipment that is on that path

A Great example  of someone who is a great leader in my opinion are moms. Moms always put their children's needs before their own and always take into consideration their feelings. When making important decisions they always think about how it will affect the child more than anything and i admire that.

An example of a good leader was Mahatma Gandhi. He was calm and helped everyone around him to grow and to develop themselves. He was the kind of person that make you want to be better, since he was always fighting with passion for his purposes. Gandhi was a fundamental figure in transforming India's realliy with a non-violence speech and that is why he was a good leader.

Clear communication is also important for leaders to have, as well as a disposition to focus on big ideas. I have noticed that many leaders use straightforward words and sentence structures when they are giving speeches and speaking to audiences. I appreciate when leaders use this kind of language because they use it as a way for everyone to understand them no matter a person’s background. Having such a universal way of being able to express yourself makes a huge difference in communities because the more people you can connect with, the more influence can be spread and good rapport can be built. 

Many people claim "Honesty is the best policy"  and it's valid. But it really is valid, nevertheless. Leaders ought to be honest with you. That's how successful leaders are. ' Although many leaders fibb, its for the greater good of the people to make them feel safe. For instance, a king needs the faith of the people to survive. Or he's more likely to get be-headed. The King would fib occasionally to keep his people safe so that they don't freak out and go mad.There are a lot of things that will make you a successful leader, but in order to be a successful leader, you need to know what you're doing and be committed.

One example of a good leader is Abraham Lincoln. He was the 16th President of the United States and is remembered for his role in preserving the Union during the American Civil War and for his efforts to end slavery. Lincoln was a skilled orator and effective negotiator, and was able to bring together a divided country during a time of great crisis. He also had the courage to make difficult decisions, including issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that all slaves in the Confederate states were to be set free. Through his leadership, Lincoln was able to achieve significant progress and make a lasting impact on the country.

My friends family are all examples of great leaders, they are some of the most noble, wise, and humble people I will ever have in my life.  They give everything they can on birthdays, holidays, and even regular days, to organizations, homeless shelters, animal shelters, and even my own family. They give whatever they have even though they need financial help themselves. My friends parents are great parents, they let their kids try and fail, and give them their space and opportunity to grow and learn. My friend is a great leader because he works to support his family as such a young age, and is also willing to give his time, energy, and love to others no matter what time of day it is. His family is definitively inspiring; it motivates me to become just like them. Everyone on this earth should strive to become a great leader, it helps yourself at the same time it helps others grow.
