In Response to Devan's Post

In Devan's blog, he discussed what he personally thought a leader was. He then left off with the question, Who in your eyes is a leader and why?

I find a leader to not be anyone in particular, but to be able to grasp and attain many important qualities. In order to be a sufficient leader, you must be good at making decisions, ecspecially on the spot. This can be a difficult skill to grasp, but it is very important to be confident in your choices. I also feel that it is important for a leader to make risks. Sometimes it necessary to go out of the box and risking failure is very possible. Being able to motivate your employees is also key. By inspiring people to work towards common goals you can create an excellent team. Lastly, I feel that a leader must be able to display important interpersonal skills to gain respect from your employees. Displaying integrity, trust, and loyalty is very important. By gaining a relationship with your team members they begin to feel comfortable with you. I feel that these qualitites are all very important in order to be a successful leader
