-: First it starts with understanding yourself
so anytime we do leadership training,
that's fundamental.
If you don't understand your own strengths
and weaknesses, know what you bring to the table,
it's hard to work successfully
in a team of any size.
So once you know who you are,
then figuring out what role you typically play on a team
and then after that, what's your role in the community
so it really is an inside out model.
In terms of qualities,
a great leader knows how to persuade.
Leadership is not about command and control.
Leadership is about motivating others
and encouraging them and persuading them
to do things that maybe they weren't sure
they wanted to do
or weren't sure that they could do
so great leaders connect with people
in such a way to bring out greatness in them.
