Lesson 2: Successful Leadership

In this lesson we were assigned to find two articles on effective leadership. After reading a couple of articles, I learned the type of leader depends on their values and beliefs and the way they view themselves. Confidence is a big part of leadership. If you are confident, others will feel good about following your lead. Leaders need to be honest and competent. These are traits that followers will look for in their leaders. With leadership comes a lot of responsibility, and some individuals may not be up to the task. It is important for leaders to think this through and realize the effect they could have on others lives.
