Leadership

I found this list in the office awhile back.  It came from a very talented, amazing group of High School students.  I found it to be a great reminder of what it means to be a leader.  I typed things out just as they were written.

Leadership:

• Influence not authority
• Positive attitude
• Open minded
• Taking initiative
• Selfless
• Dependence
• Outspoken
• Altruistic
• Supportive
• Confidence
• Reliability
• Respect
• Generous
• Network
• Cooperation
• Social Action
• Courage
• Delegation
• Lead by example
• Peace
• Connection
• Be your word 
• Teamwork
• Optimism
• Communication

It's a great list with a few items that challenge me and some that come very naturally.

As I look at the list, I would add

• Sense of humor
• Grace
• Tact
• Be a listener first
• Be thankful

What would you add to the list?
