Thank you for writing to us with your question. To learn more about leadership, and developing your leadership skills, you can consult Chapters 13-16 and Toolkit 6 of the Community Tool Box, which gives much detailed practical information.
But in just a few words, three key recommendations for any aspiring leader, perhaps including yourself, would be to (1) Listen to the people you hope to be leading – what are their interests, and their goals? (2) Form good relationships with those people, so that they come to like, respect, and trust you. And (3) Let them help you do the job that needs to be done, so that you all do it together.
There’s much more to it than that, but perhaps this much can give you a start.
We hope these thoughts may be helpful to you. Thank you again for writing, and all best wishes for success with your goals.
