Question

What does leadership mean to you personally?

List 5 leaders and why they are leaders in their field. (Remember, even people you personally know can be listed, not just those in the field of business)

Answer 1

For me, leadership means helping a group of people in achieving the best version of themselves and with the help of their skills and abilities, inspire them in attaining the groups as well as their personal goals. It is about finding an alternative, better way of doing things and making an effort to ensure that the lives of everyone around us get a little bit easier in the process.

The five leaders I admire are:-

Greta Thunberg is young in age but so devoted to the environment and planet, she gives me hope that the world will be in safer hands in the future.

Martin Luther King Jr is an inspirational leader for all of us who believe in an equal, just and fair world. His efforts to ensure equality will inspire many generations.

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, has taken up many initiatives to address mental health issues and helped in converting the conversation around mental health challenges from an awkward to a hot topic.

Oprah Winfrey through her philanthropic efforts has helped in raising funds and awareness for girls' education in the world.

My friend Kevin Thompson is a great leader. He works for an NGO which helps kids from poor backgrounds to attain schools by sponsoring their education. This has changed many lives and will surely help society in becoming a better place to live.
