What Defines a Leader?
A leader is a person who leads and commands a party of followers. Most of the time, a leader is the head of a group, and has the most power. But, the responsibility must follow.
To become a leader, you must have certain qualities that will make you a unique and different leader form anyone else. Qualities such as communication, creativity and confidence are few most important qualities you will need to become a great leader.
Communication
Communication is a large part of leadership. During a discussion, being able to explain your idea is very crucial. When this is successful, your group will be working towards the same goal, which will help your team work as one.
Creativity
When trying to brainstorm, you might not be able to think of any good ideas. Having a normal and casual ideas won't attract the audiences attention, nor your group members. This is where your creativity will shine. Starting with a creative and unique plan will grab the attention of your group and audience, which will help your team to be focused and enjoy as they are working.
Confidence
Sometimes, things won't go as you planned and your teams morale will drastically drop, which will cause your team to panic and worry. As a leader, you must step up and show your confidence especially in a situation like this. Staying calm and confident will help your team to move forward, and increase your teams morale.
What type of leader are you?
I have taken the personality test and I found out that my personality type is ENFP. I've searched about my personality type and have found out that the people with this personality types are very enthusiastic and friendly. They are also mostly creative and are good listeners. From this, my leadership style will most likely be "Participative Leadership", who listens lets others contribute.
When I am in a group, I often try to get the group by initiating a conversation on what we should start first. I listen to my groups ideas, meanwhile sharing mine. I try to lead the group in a way where it is fair for everyone. This helps building teamwork, and it sometimes gives motivation to do well. From my leadership type, my personality would most likely be one that considers other peoples ideas, such as ENFP.
What did I learn?
From this project, I learned many things such as good qualities that will help you become a better leader. I also learned that everyone has the potential to be a leader, it is just matter of confidence. People with different types of personality will have a different type of leadership, and there are advantages and disadvantages about it. I always thought that leaders had to take over all the control and take charge, which I had trouble doing. Now, I learned that there are different types of leadership, and I should always try to improve to be a better leader.
