Who Can Be A Leader

We are looking at what is leadership, who can be a leader and why do we need leaders. I gave my opinion of those three things now we have been looking at what others say about each of those questions.

Today we are looking at who can be a leader.

From Odewire and an article by Johan Schaberg titled "Everyone Can Be a Leader"

Can you learn to lead? Yes. Simply stop not doing it. You have a life, start living it—that’s the beginning of all leadership. Determine which goals you are currently following. If you’re following egotistical goals, ask yourself whether it’s really necessary.

From Ryerson University:

Leadership process by taking the lead and thus becoming the leader regardless of title or position within the group. This involves “becoming a nonanxious part of the system, and refusing to be homogenized into its one-dimensional fusion” (1985, p. 173). To do this a person must be willing and able to take and hold a clear and decisive non-reactive position while maintaining contact with others in the emotional system.

From Netplaces:

• You can learn to lead, even if you aren't a natural-born leader.
• Use your personality traits to your advantage to make your leadership more effective.
• To rally people to your cause, connect them to something greater than themselves as well as to their own sense of meaning.
• By setting the right types of goals, you and the others working with you can energize your activities and achieve success.

You see, even from these examples it is apparent that anyone can be a leader. You can be a bad leader or a good leader that it for you to determine how.
