I believe that leadership is the ability to admit when you are wrong. If you are able to do this then people will respect you for it. This obviously isn't the only leadership quality and a few other include being good communicator, having integrity and having a high level of resilience.
If you want to be a good leader you need to be able to communicate well, if you are too scared to speak up to the older and bigger people then you will never get anything back from them. Not being a good communicator means they will see you as a smaller person and they will never respect you.
Having integrity is a very important quality in being a good person and also being a good leader. If you are a good leader only when people are watching then you don't have integrity and shouldn't be in a leadership position.
Being resilient is very important too. If things get too hard and you can't do them then you need to keep trying. Being a leader is never easy and that means you have to be resilient otherwise people will see you as weak and will try to find ways to get a new person to take over whatever you were in charge of.
Howdy Bill, I am Sam, A year 8 at Otaki college. I think that your leadership qualities are great. You obviously need a leader who has integrity and good communication. I think that you are really good at having integrity. Great job Bill.
