Who you are as a Leader

Part three of the book really describes who you are as a leader. It is most important to remember that even a leader needs help and advice from others. A leader who thinks that they can do everything alone without help may not be as successful as someone who takes in advice. It is important being a leader to listen to what others in our organization have to say. We are all working together to better each other and help each other grow.

Everyone is going to have a chance to be a leader in some way. GLAD is here to help us on our journey in finding out who we are as leaders. It is also important during this process to understand what our organizations stand for and ask ourselves why it is important for us to make a stand? It is important being a leader to also except change like we discussed in GLAD. We often get stuck where we are now or in the moment and forget to look outside of the box. We need to look at the future of our organizations and what changes can be made to better them.

The book is really helping me to understand all aspects of leadership. It has made me think about leadership in a different way, and has made me actually realize that I have always been the person to take charge in a group and speak their mind. This book is starting to make me look at myself as a leader and not just leadership as a whole and what it means. I am starting to picture what leadership positions I would take in my organization and why. Leadership is about fighting for something you believe in. If you believe in your organization you are going to fight to make it better and to have a say.
