“My most favorite leaders are great at uniting people for a common cause. Whether it is to learn about a new topic, or build certain skills, great leaders know what they can provide to their group and how to provide it. Great leaders are also great listeners. They work with their peers to help them achieve their goals and keep in touch with the group they are leading. They know when to step back and let others bring their own talents to the group and support and uplift them. ” -Ella
