What is leadership? What makes a good leader? Is it
a call? Can you become a leader, or are
you born to lead? All good questions
and there are a lot of websites that will describe the characteristics of a
good leader. Leaders are proactive, good
listeners, humble, delegate to and motivate others, organized, resourceful,
open-minded, good communicators, open to change, educated, objective and
adaptive. There are different types of
leadership skills: authoritarian, democratic, transformational, charismatic,
autocratic, transactional, and laissez-faire.
