Elliot's Leadershp Report

LEADERSHIP REPORT

Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, all leaders in a way, but what’s inside them that makes them the leaders that they are. There’s only one thing, Leadership. But what is leadership?

Leadership is made up of alot of things, sportsmanship, dedication and the list goes on, therefore, why don’t we just focus on the main qualities which makes leadership. Firstly, dedication. As a leader you have to dedicate lots of things, an example of dedication is Bill Gates. Gates dedicated alot of his time to Microsoft and other companies that he either owned. Secondly, Sportsmanship, as a leader you will lose and win, therefore if you lose you should lead by example and be gracious in defeat. Lastly, they focus, a leader does not put too much on his plate, he focusses on one thing at a time and tries to fix that one thing that he is focusing on, for example Bill Gates focused only on Microsoft and not his opponents and what they were doing.

There are 7 billion people in the world, but only a handful can be a leader. If you wanted to become a leader, who would you idolize. But to idolize a leader you have to know how you can see a leader. Firstly, a leader outshines others, take a sports team captain, he/she would be chosen by the coach because he/she outshined the others, by showing leadership. Secondly, they can take anything bad and somehow turn it into a positive comment. Just say you are running for prime minister, as there are 2 parties running for prime minister, the opposition will criticize you, therefore you will have to take their criticism and turn it into a positive comment. Lastly, leaders power through any obstacle that is in their way. Take Martin Luther King for example. He had experience lots of obstacles in his life as he was a black, but he overcame all of those obstacles and gave a speech on civil rights.

Now that we know what qualities a leader has and how can we tell a leader, but we have one more question, what is a leader? If we put all the facts together, a leader is a person who is gracious in defeat and focusses.

Finally we know what a leader is and all the qualities of a leader and how they run through obstacles like a boss, but with all the leader talk, what would a world be without leaders, riots, broken cities and the list goes on. That shows that we are very lucky to have leaders.

Leadership Leo

A leader is a person that can be either an adult or a child but it’s not the age or appearance that matters it’s what they do

A leader can do many things from being the most notorious to the most helpful there are many leaders in history like in 1939 - 1945 WW2 the war was lead by Adolf Hitler and over 60 million people died in that war and many may say he was not a leader but a Cruel ruler but he changed history of the world so what we can learn from this is that to change history all it takes is a will of a single person there are million and even billions of leaders today from being the president to just helping someone at school and all that is called Leadership.

                                                           

we need leaders because if we had no leader that means no government and no rules and if that happens then the world would be in chaos and there would be no punishment and also there would be no education system and no one would know what to do. Leader are how the world is made and how it’s changed.

To become a leader you don’t need to be a general of an army all you need is kindness, courage and bravery, there are many major leaders like Nelson Mandela that changed lot’s of peoples views on apartheid in south Africa and Adolf Hitler who started a world war he may have killed many innocent people but he was a leader in a way but you don’t need to be a heron enable to be a leader you can just help your mum with the dishes or helping some friends with their learning that can all be leadership.

The End Statement

The summary of this report is that you don’t need millions of people or be famous to become a leader all it takes is a little bravery or kindness to help someone out that makes you a leader and lot’s of leadership is fairly easy.
