Leadership for the Greater Good

On Friday I volunteered for a program called Project Connect. We set up a Thanksgiving dinner for homeless families, ate with them and then volunteered at a carnival afterwards. It was so eye opening and impacting being able to spend time with the families. As we were going on with the evening I could not help but notice that this event would not have been successful without the extreme amount of leadership. One leadership trait that I think all of the organizers possessed was character. They were not doing any of this for themselves, they truly wanted to help others. I think that it is so important that leaders have good character and do things for the group. In my eyes, someone who is able to lead an event like this and to give to others is the ideal leader.
