,This Bo Bennet quote sums up what we learned perfectly. In order to be successful, a group needs leaders and followers. Having no one with initiative to lead, leads to a leaderless group. Without a leader, success is difficult to attain.
I enjoy leading groups. Working for Bismarck Public Schools in the AVID program has helped me develop the trait. My personal initiative not only involves structuring the work a group will do, but also encouraging, motivating, and exciting other group members to want to achieve also. Before I take a leadership position, I consider whether I have the time or skills required to lead a situation. Without time and skill, taking a leadership role may be more of a disservice than a service to a group. In those circumstances, it is important to give my best effort as a group member, but leave leading to someone who is better suited.
