Leadership is any behaviour that influences the actions and attitudes of others to achieve certain results. Leadership
in itself is neither good nor bad. Societal values determine whether the leadership of an individual is positive or
negative, based on the goals and results being pursued and on the means used to influence others. There are many
examples of “good” (e.g., moral, noble, virtuous) and “bad” (e.g., corrupt, immoral) people who have been
extremely effective leaders.
Now, identify a person you regard as a great (effective) leader. This leader could be someone you know, or someone
you have heard of or have read about. Write down the qualities/characteristics or skills/abilities you believe have
made this person an effective leader.
