What Does Leadership Mean to You?• “When someone puts the needs of other people

before their own in hopes to benefit many.” –Mark• “It’s not about taking charge, it is about

considering the needs and talents that the group has and working with them to create something beautiful.” –Sarah

• “Taking the opportunity to be selfless in order to achieve something greater than yourself.”- Diana

According to BusinessDictionary.com• A leader steps up in times of crisis, and is
