1. The action of leading a group of people or an organization.
2. The state or position of being a leader.
As I've thought about the ways that I could be leading now, I've more fully realized that leadership is simply acting in a way that someone somewhere will see as an example, whether good or bad. And even though most of us don't realize it, we are always being leaders and we decide through our actions what kind of leaders we will be.
I am a leader in my home and in my callings. In the way that I treat the random people I meet. I am a leader by attending college and going to my classes. Mainly, I consider myself a leader with my friends. Not because I think I am an incredible example, but because they allow me to be the person I know that I want to be. I am a leader throughout my life because I choose to be. And I choose to be a leader who will influence for good.
The main leadership quality I posses is the ability to care. I've recently realized that it is such a gift to be able to look at people I don't even know and love them before I even know them. I believe that as we first meet people we should assume that we are going to like them, and find all the good things we can in their personality and in their actions. Instead of making people prove that we should love them, we assume we will love them and keep loving them even if we are proven wrong.
The place of leadership I am trying to improve, and that I will use this class to help me improve, will be leadership in my church calling. I have just been called to Co-direct the Spring Sing for my ward. This means I will be leading as many people in my ward as I can get involved with our ward's 7 minute musical. I am super excited to apply the principles I learn this semester to this calling!
