Those that voluntarily step forward are a special breed. Yes, you risk possible embarrassment, but the rewards far exceed anything negative that may happen. We all have things we are comfortable doing and when we are comfortable, then why not step forward. Everyone will benefit.

vigor of action, language, feeling, etc.

We talk about bravery, perseverance, poise, energy, and all that goes with it. Sometimes a leader will have to be forceful in his decision making, when his troops aren't following his explicit directions. This has to be done judiciously, but sometimes it is necessary to move forward.

*Effective leaders have a good understanding of what needs to get done, and how to go about changing things.Achieving- The last leadership characteristic we're going to discuss is achieving results. Leaders just don't set the example for others to follow; they also play a big role in achieving the goals of the organization. Through their leadership skills, they maintain a high level of performance in their organizations, and they are able to help keep their workforce motivated even when faced with a seemingly impossible situation.Acquired= It's a skill that's acquired over a lifetime, and these characteristics are something we can "practice" just about every day of our life. Keep in mind that great leaders are not born, they are made. Great leaders also make mistakes.But one thing that a great leader does very well is learn from their mistakes.

**********Core Values that are the fundamental building blocks of a leadership style.Creative- Leaders demonstrating creativity skills are able to develop innovative solutions to old problems. The diversity they build in their organizations helps them to develop more comprehensive answers to routine questions. Creative leaders are able to translate technical information into solutions that are understood by everyone.

*****They create networks within the organization to help their groups get work done, and are just as adept at breaking down organizational barriers to progress.

*****Understanding of yourself and others- ability to recognize and understand your own emotions, moods, and motivations before they can begin to understand the motivation, moods, and emotions of others.the ability to really understand another person's point of view
