How has my view of leadership changed?

In these last few weeks we have learned about and assessed numerous details of effective leadership. My views and opinions on leadership have dramatically changed in these few weeks. For one, I now have a completely new respect for not only the important leaders of my life but also for all leaders,b big or small. I have discovered that it takes a certain skill, mindset, and tenacity to effectively lead others. I have especially gained respect for those who have worked their way up the leadership chain and have adapted to the different types of leadership. For instance, those who have come from only managing themselves to managing a large corporation have most certainly gone through major changes in leadership style. We learned in class that One of the hardest parts of climbing up the management chain is changing your management style. To go from managing only yourself or a small group of people to managing an entire branch or even an entire company requires a complete change in management style. After learning so much about leadership I have changed the way I look at myself also. I've always thought that no matter what I do in life I would end up being in some kind of leadership position with ease. I now have realized that good leadership takes a lot more than just the desire to boss others around. It takes a certain skill, strategy, and mindset that is developed through observing others and learning from your mistakes.
