When you think about a leader, you commonly think of a person that's the boss over everyone else, telling them what to do. With that definition in mind, we sometimes think we can't ever be leaders.
I recently learnt a better way of defining a leader.
A leader is someone creates a change in something for the better.
You want to know why that definition is better than what most of us think? Everyone has the abilitiy to make a change fir the better. For example, if you happen to have witnessed bullying and you did something about it, even as small as just telling a teacher or someone higher up, you were a leader. You don't have to be really brazen and ready to tackle down people, just do what you think is best in a way that doesn't put you in harms way.
What if you saw something was wrong and wanted to fix it? What if you thought you could start some sort of club addressing issues, wouldn't that also count as taking on leadership roles? Of course it does!
So if you want a change to occur, you can step up and take that role. Don't be one of those people who'll assume someone else will do it. Be people of Action. The last thing we need are couch potatoes.
But wait, don't just be people of action, but people with Witt as well. Don't just rush into situations simply because you think something has to be done. Consider the situation as well.
In the end, people may appreciate your efforts or not, as long as you know you did the right thing, that's all that counts.
