For this semester, I'm defining my leadership role as being a leader on my lacrosse team by working as hard as I can in practice everyday.
What does leadership mean to me? I've always thought leadership is crucial to the success of any group of people trying to accomplish a goal. Leadership is not always the obvious things such as being a Quorum President, Relief Society President, or a team captain. Everyone has the potential to be a leader, and should be a leader regardless of position or title. How do they do this? I believe it is simple. By doing their very best in whatever their job may be.
People notice. People always will notice, even if someone goes about their business in a very quiet way. By doing our duty, with the utmost integrity and work ethic, we improve ourselves, those around us, and bring us closer to achieving whatever it is we set out to do.
Great post Alex! I love how you talked about it bringing us closer to those we lead.
ReplyDeleteAthletics is such a great place to be a leader. Sometimes, position, titles, and age can inhibit someone from making a difference. However I hope this class will show you that being a leader is so much more than those things and there are infinite ways to impact a team, an apartment, a family, a ward, etc. But you must have the right motivation. I am excited to hear about your leadership/athletic experiences. Good Post.
