Pursuing a leadership role

When pursuing a leadership role in an organization, it is important to gain insight into effective leadership.

Firsthand Experience

Draw upon your firsthand experience in leadership roles; think of the lessons you have learned from leading clubs, teams, or other groups.

Leader Memoirs

It is also important to read about other leaders. Most world leaders read books about leaders whom they admire. The books provide important insights into what it takes to be a leader and how to make decisions.

Find a Mentor

Learning from an accomplished leader is a great way to improve your own leadership abilities; find someone in your organization or community whose leadership you admire and ask this person to serve as your mentor; they will probably be flattered and happy to help.

Research

It is important to research management and leadership trends and tolearn skills and techniques that are relevant to the particular field in which you are working so that you can then implement them.
