Exploring Leadership,
as an Individual and as a Team!

   
Encourage:
to inspire and lend support; to help others move beyond problems and challenges, and to look to the bright side of them.
   
Leader:
someone who influences others; someone who gets others excited about working together toward common goals.
   
Leadership:
“The art of mobilizing others to want to struggle for shared aspirations” (Kouzes and Posner, 1995, p. 30).
   
Model:
a prototype; an example for others to follow as a role model.
   
Status quo:
what is, always has been, and always will be unless someone (a leader) tries to bring about change.
   
Team:
a group of diverse individuals working together toward a common goal.
   
Vision:
a positive, inspiring, and ideal mental image or “picture” of the future.
