Anyone can be a leader; it doesn’t require admirable character traits or superhero skills. To be a leader simply requires effort and passion. Leaders know how to take charge of a crowd, while still giving respect to each individual. Leaders know how to show compassion in times of need, while still remaining firm in their decisions and actions. A successful leader with will include every member of the group in everything that occurs (no exceptions). Anyone can be a leader.

There are many different kinds of leaders, all with their own strengths and weaknesses. There are leaders who generally assert dominance over a crowd. There are leaders that excel in positivity and support. There are leaders that use knowledge and logic to make the best decisions for the group. Anyone can be a leader, so long as they put forth effort and passion in everything that they do.

I have seen leadership through the context of wellness. Health and fitness is becoming a very large and welcoming community, and there are many people who crave this kind of support. I am a member of a nutrition team that focuses on how we fuel our body. The leader of my group sets an example with her exceptional spirit and kind words. I know that when I wake up in the morning, there will always be a text of encouragement waiting to be read. Not only is she setting a good example for the rest of the group to follow, but she’s also making all member of the group feel welcomed and involved.
