What Makes A Good Or Bad Leader?

Yes sir. A person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. But, there are good and bad leaders in this world. This is important because a leader is the core of the group. If the leader gives up, the team will most likely give up. You should listen to me because I have experienced a leader before and I'm sure you have too. I will talk about my experience, if he was a good or bad leader, and what he could have done better.

One day, I was playing Fortnite with my teammates. Our leader was a boy named James and I was in charge of killing everyone. His job was to tell me what to do, what plays we do, and how we fight. I would usually listen to him because he was the leader but two months later I realized he changed. He had more of an ego because he got better at the game. This is when I started to pay more attention to if he was a leader who cared for his teammates, or a leader who was selfish.

After I started to pay more attention to him, I noticed that he started becoming more selfish. He always said to not steal his kills or take items that weren't even his in the first place. He also started to become cruel to me and never cared for the team. I started to realize that he was a bad leader and he was going to continue to be one. I decided to leave the team and soon enough I left for Taiwan.

Now, I will talk about what he could've done better as a leader. First, he would have paid more attention to what was going on and not focus more on how many kills he has. He also should have positive thinking so that we would also continue to have positive thinking. I learned something about leadership and I was told that if the leader has a good mindset, your teammates will receive motivation. Another problem he could have fixed was listening to his teammates more. He always ignored what we would say and he would do whatever he want to do. But, if you listen to your teammates then you will have a better chance at winning. Another reason of why you should listen to your teammates is because they could possibly have a good idea that could win you the game. ALso, I found an article from Ottawa University and it said,“Be a good leader.” The article also stated that if you listened to your teammates, you will earn a huge amount of respect and loyalty.

All in all, I hope that my experience, if my teammate was a good or bad leader, and what he could have done better helped you understand why a leader is so important. The leader is the core and heart of the group, if the heart breaks the team dies. Now, you should try to be the leader when you play a team game or anything in life. If you know what you're doing, try and take the role as a leader. Someone who is caring, nice, talkative, and is really good at getting their teammates motivated is a leader. But, you should always answer your leader with, Yes Sir!
