What is Leadership? Leadership is being a positive example and showing others what the right thing to do is. Some examples of leadership would be If you are taking care of somebody younger than you, don't be a trouble maker and teach them the wrong things to do. Be the person who follows the rules and gets invited back to wherever you are. Also leadership can just be being kind to others and make them feel better and possibly be nicer to others. This is what leadership to me is.
