Leaders Make an Impact

"The price of greatness is responsibility."

~ Winston Churchill

Hello everybody! My name is Daniella Valdes, this is my second year as RA here at Manhattanville College. I am also a member of the Leadership Conference Committee, which is in charge of planning the conference that will have impact on leaders. It can be on a daily basis, or a long term effect. Last year, the Leadership Conference had a day by day impact in my life. I hope that this year it can be a long term impact, because we will be discussing how our actions as leaders affect who we are.

The quote above connects, or makes these conferences complimentary. It is another way to say "If you talk the talk, you better walk the walk." If you decide to do something, knowing that what you are doing is wrong, you know that every actions has its reaction. To be great as a leader and make others overestimate you and follow you, you have to be responsible for your actions. As a role model, people are expecting the best from you to copy what you just did. Your followers act as a mirrors, they will reflect whatever you do. Everyone can make mistakes, however, you need to show others you are mature enough to take responsibility for your actions and accept you make mistakes. That makes you a great leader. Think about it and share your thoughts!
