    I love the 12 Character traits the most! Partly because they are supportive and I can relate to most. I feel I need to be more risking through. A leader has to always be prepend for the worse, just like a captain for attack, choosing the right will not only help you succeed, but will influences others looking up at you as well. Choose the right! :)

    Everybody should be accademic champons so that in the future they can succeed and have a wonderful life to live. Taking responsibility is very importand because then you can choose the right next time.
    Being a leader equals believing in what you are doing is right and following others towards a good path and not a path of regret.

    I am really fond of this list because of the admirable traits it describes. You can be made a leader, but if you don't have any of these traits or you choose the wrong you are leading others down the drain. If you are a good person and you are a leader, then by example you can help other be good leaders. Better leaders than yourself. You will have created a long chain of leaders that choose the right.

    A good leader is someone that helps lead other down the right path and tells them to choose the right and do good things. A leader always helps others when they can and they make sure that they know how to do work. A leader always is the first to volunteer to do something without being asked to do so. A leader is always on top of what they are supposed to do and they know what is right and they make sure to hep other to CHOOSE THE RIGHT.

    I really like this quote because to be a good leader you have to have positive thinking and be willing to choose the right. As well as guide other to choosing the right but to do so you must set the example first. So that others can follow along and look up to you as a positive role model in their lives. A successful academic champion is a successful leader who chooses the right... =)

    I like this quote because to be a leader first you have to know how to lead yourself. To be a leader you have to know was right, so you can teach others the right path. A leader leads others with their words and past experiences. A true leader is able to teach others to also be leaders for themselves and to be able to teach others to succeed. A leader shows leadership with good character and a good attitude.

    this quote is VERY true. to be a good leader you have to be able to do different things and teach others that are new to whatever you are doing. being a leader doesn't mean you can boss people around thats not what a leader has to do! a leader is someone who you can go to and look up to for help. thats what a leader means to me

    Being a Leader is the a person that chooses the right at all time. Goals is one of the important things that a leader must has. A leader must have a lot of potential to deal with many things that get in their way. All the 12 statements are true. For experience it's difficult to be a leader only if you do it just to do it. If in your heart you say " I'm a Leader and i want to show that i am" thats when you will do things right. Be a leader, take a step closer to Success, and you will be recognize and successful for Choosing the Right!

    This explains the traits one needs to be a successful leader. We must be humble and help others. To be successful we must help others be successful as well. It also says you need to take risks, which i believe is true because we can never just stay on the safe side and be successful. We need to take necessary risks to be successful. We need to put on the side all our insecurities and fears in order to be successful. We need to choose the right.

    Good leaders, always must have positive attitudes and a lot of energy because people feed off of the energy and follow the good attitudes. If a leader has a negative energy, or attitude then his/her peers will follow and have the same negative energy. They have to accept that they do not know everything and be willing to grow, because no one knows EVERYTHING.. Leaders are normally the first to admit their mistakes. The 12 traits of good leaders because good leaders need all of those traits, because without them, they're really not leaders..

    My opinion on this is that if you want to be a leader you should first of all choose the right!!! When somebody is a leader they have characters of being responsible, disciplined, pacients, have honor, and are respectfull. If you are capable of having these characteristics then your are a candidate for being a leader:)!! As a leader you will be expectd to make the right decisions as a leader. Don't let people go through the wrong path. hep people make the right decicions. alSo remember to always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!

    yes we need to lead and do the right. some people follow other while they are doing the wrong just because everyone else is doing it. by leading you are also being yourself. i also agree with the 12 character traits of a good leader. they are very important for a leader to have them so they could be successful. CHOOSING THE RIGHT is being a good leader

    to be a leader you have to be a person that knows what she or he is doing. you have to be able to be somebody someone can look up to. you have to always be able to think positve and show people anything really is possible. i believe everyone here in the class is a leader its just sometimes their put in bad positions and they chose to give up. anything is possible you just gotta believe.

    I agree with all the quotes and pictures about being a leader. We shouldn't choose the wrong just because everyone else is doing it, and become a follower. Instead we should be a leader of are own decisions, and help others choose the right as well. I also enjoyed the 12 charters traits of good leaders.

    This quote tells me that i should be a leader. That when there is no leader, you should be the one to step up and be a leader. If you are a leader, you should do it the right way and set the example for others so that they can follow you too and everyone will succeed. You can achieve greatness, just be a leader and the rest will settle for its self.!!

    This quote is good because being a leader is very important. When you are a leader, you are setting a good example for others and leading them to a good future. If you want to be a leader, you have to tke risks when you feel something isnt right. Being a leader means you know the right decisions to make and you think of good plans. You can be a leader as long as you choose the right. (:

    Be a leader by choosing the right. Always do what is right. Whetter you are a NBA Champion, MLS Champion, Academic Champion, etc, if you are choosing the wrong, you will never be a leader.

    What its saying about a leader is correct. A leader is who really cares and is able to do whatever it takes to help who is in need of it. A leader is what everyone should try to achieve in any way. A good leader is who chooses the right and is successful. Being a leader can take you far.

    To be a leader you have to have skill always knowing what to do at the right time and what not to do and you must always be a good follower because people are seeing what your doing and those people want to be the same as you and they have to follow you examples because one days they to will become leaders of there own and for them to become good / great leaders they must follow you, so great leaders always choose the right work hard and are always working together to get better and make there peers better at something which is either in a sport school studies or even just a video game but with great focus and great determination comes a great leader.

    This quote means that a good leader helps people out when they need it. Also a good leader tells somebody to never quit and to always give 100% at everything you do and to never give up. These traits tell me to help someone when i have the chance when they're stuck or to inspire them to do better, thats CHOOSING THE RIGHT.

    This posting tells me that in order to be a good leader you can't just rely on yourself, you have to rely on friends and others to help you and guide you to becoming a better leader. You have to learn how to listen to others problems and to give them advice so you can try and help them. "REAL LEADERS HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED."

    These 12 traits show good leaders. Being a leader is not an easy job, not only do you have to make decisions for yourself, but you have to think of others as well. Others are going to look up to you and depend on you to make the right choice. It might not be easy to make good decisions, but if you're a good leader you will be able to inspire other people. Being a leader will help you learn and grow, its always about Choosing The Right!
