-Leadership is action! It's what you do that counts, not what you say. Leadership in Action
means you should have the following qualifications: Communicator - Great communicators are
not only good with words, able to express themselves clearly, but they are also excellent
listeners. They are able to articulate what is and paint a clear picture of what could be - the
possibilities. Confident - There is a thin line between being confident and arrogant, but you can
tell the difference. When you are in the presence of someone with confidence, it tends to breed
confidence in others. However, when in the presence of someone who is arrogant, that person
tends to leave a negative impression. Arrogance breeds contempt, in the possessor and the
observer. Credible - A person who is credible "knows his stuff." It does not necessarily means
s/he knows the answer to everything, but it does mean s/he will take the necessary steps to get
the answer you need. Courageous - A courageous leader is willing to do the right thing because
he believes it is the right thing. He is willing to say and do "the hard thing" simply because it is
the right thing to do. And it is always a good time to do the right thing. Compassionate - A
compassionate leader is empathetic, able to communicate with a variety of people, treating
each with respect and dignity.
