Roundtable. What is it? It is a roundtable–but much more than that. It was a time that community leaders were invited to speak to us in small groups. We had around a dozen community leaders join us and speak to us about what it means to be a leader and qualities of a leader.
All of the community leaders came from different backgrounds and dreams. Many of them pursued a dream from when they were younger- others went through college and then ended up doing something completely different than their major.
Some qualities we talked about were integrity, being real, motivation, honesty, struggles, trust, and many more. Many of our community leaders emphasized the importance of integrity, trust, and being real. As a leader you want to be honest with yourself and others. You want others to trust you and part of being real is knowing you are no perfect and you will make mistakes. Making mistakes is not the worst thing because without mistakes how can we learn? Part of being real is admitting you have struggles with a certain area….it all comes back to being honest with yourself.
When you are willing to learn new things to become a leaderyou will find there are mistakes and struggles along the way but this will build your character and help you to become a better leader.
