While reading through other student blogs, I came across Kirsten's. While there I thought, "man this is just like my blog...but more detailed hahaha." We both look at leadership as something that does not have to be a title given or a position voted on. It can just happen naturally like the group of friends that look up to Regina George. We also only agree with the trait based leadership theory to a certain extent. We believe that leaders can be born or developed later in life. One good point that she made and I never really thought to hard about was that people born with "leadership traits" does not guarantee them to be great leaders. It is easy to make that statement if those people do not want to be leaders, but she makes the point that a person born with leadership traits may lack other abilities such as delegating or may have a habit of being condescending. So now it makes me see leadership as a bigger picture. It is not just about certain traits, abilities, or skills but having a harmonious and successful mix of them.
I guess I get a 50% on this post. Reading through others blogs, I could not find any significant differences in views. There were people with different archetypes then me but I did not learn anything about myself that I did not already know. For the most part I agreed with peoples views on leadership as a whole and on their thoughts about certain theories.
