Leadership in its full meaning

I have been writing a lot about leadership, but last few days I learned in practice things I learned from books and teaching.

Leadership is not reading book and after you are done you say "I am a leader now". Leadership is about being involved. I do not say it is bad things to read a book, it is good but you should apply things you learn from those books to real life. My group and I have a task to research about some given subject. We were having problems because no one was steping forward and everyone was waiting for someone ellse to do their job. Now we started doing good, we organized and every person did its job. But we did it because someone said, this is not good we have to change something. And we did, and that is only a simple school task. In life you will have much more serious and important tasks and how will you accomplish them depend on how do you do small tasks as this one. Also to be a leader, you have to believe in your goal and things you do. And if you believe, than it will be much more easier to make decisions.

So whatever you do, even a simple task, always give your best and do not wait someone ellse to do your job and you will do good in life.
