Before this lesson, how would you have described what a good leader does? How would you describe what a good leader does now?

Before: I would have described it as being a mentor and guide to all the things life throws our way, making decisions, getting from point A to point B.
Now: I think that is still the case, just being more relational, helping people grow. -
This lesson confirmed previous trainings I have had on leadership. Leaders are people that others want to follow because of how they act and how they treat others. Leaders are those who can take other people to places those people or the organization desires them to go.

Prior to the lesson I probably would have described leadership as someone who is managing people well or in charge of a group of people. I would now describe a good leader as someone who people trust to help them achieve new goals and growth.

Before this lesson I would have said a good leader is someone who identifies the next step someone needs/wants to take and helps them make that step.
After this lesson I would still say I believe what I thought before, but I would phrase it as “Taking someone where they ain’t.”

I would describe leader as the same way I describe a coach – taking people from one place to another place that they cannot get to on their own. After this lesson, I would alter this definition to:
A leader takes people from one place to a better place that they cannot get to on their own and both parties are better people because of it.
