Initiative

Taking initiative is what leadership is all about.Leaders must set an example if they want others to follow them so taking charge of a situation is a must.The others aspects of leading can only take someone so far if  they never actually take initiative.However initiative is not only about taking charge it is also about being to act independently without assistance.For example if a person a has job to do everyday they would know what do.Let`s say that someone usually tells them to do it but today there was no one there.Should they just not do their job,well of course not if they know what they are doing they should be doing it without direction in the first place.Recapping two types of initiative are the ability to take charge and the act of being able to independently do jobs.

Character

One's character is shown through their actions and how they think and act.So the character of a leader is very important as it decides what people think of them.The good character of a leader is a must as it can really change how enthusiastic people are to work with them. Some of the good qualities that make up good character have already been touched on in this blog such as patience,humility,gratitude .All of these make one easier to work with as they will give others the time they need as well and be grateful for the work of others.On the other hand  a person with bad character who is short-tempered, arrogant,and selfish would surely be more difficult and less enjoyable to cooperate.To summarise good character helps grow relationships while bad characters can stunt them.
