Leadership is the ability to involve and better those around you. For example, in the 2015 MVP finals, Matthew Dellavadova willed his team to compete against all odds. Although many think Lebron carried the team, it was the willingness of Delly to give his all in order to persuade his team to do the same. Although the team ended up losing the series, the Cavaliers would surely have been swept without their unlikely leader. Lacking skills and natural gifts of most other NBA players, Delly’s leadership was his biggest contribution.
I find his willingness to grind a virtue of leadership, although it was not a vocal form, because Matthew led his team to better themselves. The leader does not always have to be the one you think it is; a leader can often be the most unexpected of characters. Through his love for teamwork and dedication to being his best self by making others better, Delly embodies the role of a natural leader. A true leader, such as Dellavadova, understands that their primary role is to help everyone around them be their best selves in order for the leader to grow into their best form.
