Effective Leadership:
I used to work in Students In Free Enterprise to do socially useful activities. Due to my passion and diligence, I soon became one of the project leaders. And the project I was in charge of needed everyone's cooperation and concentration. But accidents happened a lot: someone got sick, someone had a meeting... and the process kept being tough. Another leader was angry and blamed those who were absent in meetings, making them embarrassed and frustrated. Being a leader, I comforted and encouraged them; I collected all their schedules and rearranged a new meeting time, making sure of everyone's presence. At the meetings, some members were a little anxious about the project process while others even wanted to abandon when it seemed hard to find a solution. I appeased and inspired every member who ever wanted to give up, stimulating them to keep fighting. And finally everything just paid off; our project succeeded. I think An effective leadership is not an individual show but an ability and a responsibility to combine others, create solidarity, and gather allies for power of union is boundless .That's what a spiritual leader should have, and I showed it up in my experience.
