The second video I came upon discussed the importance of leadership in everyday life. Many people believe as though they are not leaders which then changes the definition of leadership or what a leader is. If you have the ability to influence someone or are influencing someone then you are a leader because someone is following you. However, that doesn’t make you a good leader. True leaders have the ability to develop a community of followers, a community of performers, and most importantly a community of leaders. In developing a community of leaders you inspire others to be better thus allowing them the ability to inspire others and making the people they surround themselves with better. A culture of leadership is where you grow and change that is where one becomes a true leader. Finally, the speaker delves into the difference between leadership in sports and business. He discusses how leadership is different in sports because you are playing with a set of rules and plays and whoever is better able to execute their plays will win. Whereas in business there is no such thing. People are constantly trying to undercut one another, outsell the other business, and he discusses how as a leader in a business setting one must be able to roll with the punches and be ready for change.
