Leadership
What leadership means to me:
Anyone can be a leader- they just have to step up to the plate and use their own unique qualities to their advantage.

Does personality affect leadership?
What Kind of Leader Are You?
Leadership Types
Strict leaders are good for when you have very little time, and need to get things done quickly, or if you're working with a big group, such as band directors. They are working with a big group of kids and need to get the songs learned and mastered within a relatively short period of time.
Strict leaders can get a lot done, but they also can make the followers not want to follow the leader if it is overdone. They need to be strict, but not mean. If you are a strict leader, and this is a very good type of leader to be, be firm, but not mean. You will get a lot done that way!
Then there are the "Democratic Leaders". They are great for small groups when you have a lot of time and want to be creative. They consult the group about many things, allowing many ideas to be heard and considered. Democratic leaders generally make lots of jokes with the group and get to know many everyone.
While being in a group with a democratic leader is great, they tend to get off track and have a bigger chance of not getting things done than the strict leader.
Many people are a mix of the two leader types. Both of them are great! Whichever type you are, use it to get the job done! :D

My Leadership Type
I already knew a lot of this about me, I just didn't realize it. If you know your leadership type, you can take advantage of it to get the job done quicker and with better quality.
