Leadership is the quality that is responsible for people following an individual, having faith in his judgment and abilities and being willing to work under his direction. A leader is someone who can accomplish something others would not attempt. Not everyone can hold an office such as President or Vice President, yet all can develop the qualities of good leadership.
Command the respect of others wherever you are, whatever you do.
Study yourself. Discover your strong points and your weak points. Study the personal qualities of effective coaching. Endeavor to develop the qualities that will win the confidence of others, such as sound judgment, open-mindedness, freedom from prejudice, coolness in trying situations, sincerity, and honesty.
When a wrestler deserves credit for achievement-compliment him. Admit mistakes and avoid excuses. Be firm when ideals, principles or goals are at stake, but try not to give offense. Refrain from hurting others' feelings unnecessarily. Have facts before you reach a conclusion. Develop good judgment. Plan to accomplish goals. Keep out of the limelight. The more difficult the obstacle, the stronger one becomes after hurdling it.
Leadership and Respect:
