Traits To Admire

CONFIDENCE
In today's era, I feel as though confidence is becoming harder to come across as time passes. Society is suddenly obsessed with image and the idea of being a "perfect" human that even the most incredible individuals feel as though they are unworthy. Not only does confidence affect appearance, it also deeply affects what's underneath the skin and one's internal ability to persevere and believe in themselves. I admire these individuals of confidence because they take leadership to a whole new level. Not only do they inspire team members, they are not afraid to push limits, and most importantly... they fight for what they believe in!
HONESTY
Those who are honest are those who deserve utmost respect. Now we've all heard the quote "honesty is the best policy", but in reality, how often do people actually implement this policy, especially when it may put them in an uncomfortable situation to speak the honest truth? Living an honest and truthful life makes me feel happier and more fulfilled daily and I can imagine that only the best leaders practice honesty in whatever they do. Not only are these leaders people of whom should be respected, they should be regarded as leaders of true character and leaders to ultimately look up to.
SELFLESSNESS
In regards to leadership, I strongly believe that one must put others' feelings before themselves and truly strive to serve the team rather than simply fulfill selfish needs. If someone desires to be a leader, it should be in order to better a group of people and to inspire others to improve themselves in order to reach a common goal. I see so much beauty in people who exude selflessness and it is a trait of which I strive to implement in any leadership scenario I may be in. Not only does it bring a team together, it allows those you are leading to confide in you and admire your ways.
