Step 19
Understanding What Leadership Actually Is
When people hear the word leadership, they often picture someone highly visible - the loudest voice, the team captain, the person running everything.
But in real life, the students others trust most are often quieter than that.
They follow through.
They stay steady.
They help things work better.

Leadership is built through reliability, steadiness, and initiative, not status.
