My Leadership Style

Leaders set vision, strategies, goals, and values in order to guide for desired action and behavior. Leaders are characterized by certain traits which distinguish leaders from non-leaders includes Drive, desire to lead, honesty, cognitive ability, self-confidence and knowledge. Effective leaders must have two major qualities: knowledge and communication competence. Leader needs knowledge of issue and the ways of effectively leading a team. This knowledge will enable leader to identify alternatives available. He also needs to be an effective communicator as equally listener and speaker. Leaders should acquire qualities of flexible, openness, empathetic, courage, interactive, and positive attitude. ( http://www.writingservicescompany.com/free-term-papers/leadership-term-paper.html). Leadership is about inspiring, influencing and motivating people to achieve change (Class notes).A leader is a person who guides others toward a common goal, by example and showing that you are a good listener, focused, organized, decisive, and a confident person (http://www.essayforum.com/scholarship-essays-22/leadership-football-college-family-14721/).

However, I grew out of my selfish ways, and I began to see that volunteering has many mutual benefits. Now I am reluctant to leave every time I volunteer anywhere.

I always remember that 10-day special NSS (National Service scheme) campaign which took place in my college during summer holidays. The theme of the camp — which was inaugurated by the Principal, Dr Rajbeer Singh — was “Computer Education”. In this campaign I mainly have to give computer education to the patients of a government hospital. My...
