"The best leaders are teachers" is a leading quote I constantly find myself recognizing. Everyone has the potential to become a leader if they so chose, and it's up to them to make it happen. Teachers are role models not only for their classroom, but for many peers and co-workers. Being a leader requires you to be a positive role model on and off the job. Teachers are usually individuals who live and breathe their job, and have the conversation always somehow refer back to the classroom. People join people, just like leaders should join leaders. When a great leader has made an impact on an organization or on a community, the result will show other great leaders rising. I believe it takes a great leader and teacher to inspire those around them, to be making powerful and effective decisions.
A leader is resourceful, and is aware of their peers needs. Being a leader isn't a day job. Being a leader isn't putting on a face during the week for show, and throwing it all away on the weekends. Being an effective leader in a setting such as Greek life, it's important to recognize when you have to make sacrifices, and what you can do to achieve long term goals. As a leader, you are constantly making sure that decisions that're made, are for the betterment of the group as a whole.
