Definition of Leadership

I challenge you to ask five different people what the definition of leadership is and see what they say. Look up the definition in the dictionary. Network with people, you know a leader when you meet them. Start formulating your leadership definition and by default style. All of us have even experienced leadership in different situations, starting when we were very young. Think back on examples of leadership you have experience at various stages of your life and see if there is a common trait that appealed to you. Start your thought process were ever you like in your life, maybe as a kid in school. Think back, there was just something about certain people that made you follow them; want to be part of the group. Maybe a person on an athletic team you were part of, even look your friends and peer group.

As you go forward and grow in experience, take notes on what you like and don't like in certain leadership styles. I'm not about to pick a particular style for you, you need to develop you own. I will tell you what I believe needs to be in a key word in your definition of leadership; Trust. Having people trust in you allows opportunities to come your way and facilitates your continued growth and eventual success. Get started, and best of Luck!
