When most people hear about leaders they conjure up images of icons from history books like Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington, or Susan B. Anthony. Most of us fail to recognize leadership qualities in a factory line worker who acknowledges pivotal moments in their co-workers lives or a stay at home mother who is nurturing her children by providing them with a safe and educational environment.
All of us encompass the ability to provide evidence that we have leadership capabilities. Rosa Parks is the perfect example of an unlikely leader. She was not born in to privilege, but in a fundamental instant she stuck to her principles and refused to relinquish her seat. I am confident that she did not view herself as being a leader, but she most certainly was.
Leadership is shown through the small everyday things that we do. Go the extra mile. Stand up for what is right. Praise individuals that make strides to better themselves. Be positive, you are a leader no matter what your profession is!
