Leadership is guiding people and giving them the best atmosphere to reach their goals, as well as the shared goal.  There are many different styles of leadership, my personal style of leadership is a combination of servant and adaptive leadership.  I think it is important to foster an environment that produces the best quality of work, which requires knowing the skills of followers and finding the best way to harmonize everyone to work together.  Every person has unique qualities that play a part in working towards a common goal. It is the responsibilities of the leader to identify the strengths of the group to organize everyone for the best functionality.  A leader has integrity, humility, confidence, empathy, passion, and patience.  These are just a few qualities that I think best describe the qualities of a leader.  Each of these aspects can help with constructing a setting to best achieve any goal, personal or shared.  A leader that takes too much control and doesn’t utilize the group’s skills will only make the process longer and more challenging.   I think the most important thing about leadership is finding how to reach a goal through utilization of the best skills of the followers.  I use servant leadership because it allows me as the leader to best serve people to help reach their full potential.  Transactional leadership style is also useful because it helps increase motivation and accomplish a shared goal. I have learned through personal experience how important it is for people to find the specific tasks that best employ their skills because without that fundamental understanding of the followers, reaching the shared goal is much more difficult.  The definition of leadership is constantly changing and requires a leader to build their own definition. Every leader is different and there are so many different dynamics in groups that a leader needs to take a step back to best observe how each group works together and how they can best serve the group.
