Leadership

Five things that make a good leader are:

·         Good decision making

·         Listens to others

·         Has the ability to control however isn’t over controlling

·         Is able to back up what they say with action.

As a leader I admire Steven Gerrard. I admire his leadership as he leads by example, and his communication around the park compliments this so everyone can see and hear what he wants done. His actions on the park can be so influential and he can lift the entire team with a strong personal performance, it is often a case of, if he is playing well, his team plays well. Steven has been at the club his entire professional career and he has made himself a true leader at the club by leading off the field as well being involved in many board decisions to help shape things the way he wants them and the way he feels it will most benefit the team.

Some people are born leaders, when the situation arises they are always front and centre taking control. These kinds of people are usually very outgoing and friendly, however this is not always the case some of the best leaders are quiet and lead by their actions. Some people are also born followers they would prefer to stand at the back and be told what to do rather than be out the front making decisions and risking being blamed for leading the group onto a mistake.
