The definition of leadership can have many different meanings. The first way I would like to describe leadership is the act of setting yourself apart from the crowd. To be a leader, it takes courage to set yourself aside from everyone else and not having the fear of walking alone. To partake in the act of leadership, one needs to be an actual leader so I do believe that in describing what it takes to be a leader, you are then describing the act of leadership. A leader is someone who can lead a group, organization, person, party, country, etc. When a person can lead others, they are partaking in the act of leadership. I also believe leadership is the act of bringing others together to accomplish a common goal or task. In order to bring people together to accomplish a common goal, leadership requires a set vision, outlook, and expectation.

 Leadership requires someone who can impact others to help make a change. In order to make that change, leadership takes commitment, confidence, and positivity. Leadership also takes someone who is intelligent, good at communicating with others, charismatic, trusting, open-minded, informed, enthusiastic, and someone who is good at listening. In order to lead people, people need to trust in what you are telling them. You can be as courageous as you possibly can, but unless you’re demonstrating to people clear outcomes and results, they will not trust you. Lastly, leadership requires heart. Someone needs to fully believe and invest in what they believe in, they need to have a strong sense of self, and portray strong values and beliefs.
