Ever since I was very young I hated people telling me what to do which is why I have always wanted to be my own person and boss. I think that learning leadership skills are very beneficial for people because it shows them how to act on their own and build communities. According to the article I read called “The Importance Of Learning Leadership at a Young Age” some benefits of learning how to be a leader are that it gives you better problem-solving skills “They must look at all the variables, opportunities, and resources available and find a creative solution”. If we focus on developing these skills from a young age then I think that it would greatly benefit our younger generation to have a better mindset of what they can and can not do.

Just by listening to what they have to say I can improve their trust in me and build a better relationship. I also think that learning to handle my failure better will help me become more confident and will allow me to make mistakes. One of the main benefits that come from learning how to be a leader in the team-building skills and communication skills you get because in order to be a leader you have to be able to communicate with everyone. I also believe that learning how to be a leader is important because it takes discipline, listening, and you have to be able to learn from your mistakes. According to the University of The People, it is important to be there for your people “good leaders are open to hearing feedback, criticism, and suggestions from their team members. This helps them to learn from their past errors”.

Are leadership skills important for you? Do you work on developing them?

In conclusion, I believe that learning leadership is a very important thing that we all should be at least somewhat familiar with. If you learn how to become a leader then you learn how to listen better, how to empower people, how to learn from your mistakes, and how to be okay with your imperfections. Being a leader isn’t only about showing people what to do, it is also about learning how to be there for others when they need someone.

The benefits of learning how to become a leader in better problem solving skills. 

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is ¨I also think that learning to handle my failure better will help me become more confident and will allow me to make mistakes.¨ I think this is important because it helps us understand that making mistakes is ok because it shows us what we are doing wrong and how we can fix it and become better at it. 

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because you show how leadership skills are important and how you put in details supporting your claims. That is why I look forward to your next writing,

One sentence you wrote that stood out to me was when you said, “I think that learning leadership skills are very beneficial for people because it shows them how to act on their own and build communities.” This is beneficial for people it shows people that are willing to take the lead yourself these skills are there to help you.

Growing up I was the same way. I wanted to be my own person and not be told what to do. I’ve always wanted to be a leader and advocate for others and myself. Being able to lead and have those skills is something you should learn growing up because there are times throughout life where you are going to have to lead whether it be by yourself or with others.
I agree that learning to be a leader helps your listening skills and learning from your mistakes. To be a leader you need to be able to take suggestions and be able to work things through while listening to others opinions. You learn from your mistakes which build you up to be a better leader.

You are right we all want to be our own person and not be told what to do. I like how you show that in time throughout life where we have to lead whether it be ourselves or with others.

Dear Mynor, I am fascinated by your post “Why Leadership Skills Are Important” because it shows the value of what being a leader. It shows why it is such an important quality and demonstrates just why we should all have that skill.
One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is, “If we focus on developing these skills from a young age then I think that it would greatly benefit our younger generation to have a better mindset of what they can and can not do.” I think this is very true and important because if we begin to educate the younger generation on how to become leaders they will grow up with that strong mindset of always doing the best things in life to benefit not only themselves but those around them. it teaches them how to set goals for themselves and lead those around them.
Thank you for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write about next because you really go into depth about your topic and explain why it is important. You also use personal involvement which helps the audience relate to your topic as well. \

Its good that you know what leadership is and what it means to you. Knowing that there is people that you can look up to is great. in life we all know someone who is our leader. Leadership can mean many things to different people and to me is to be someone who guides someone to the right way. When having a business of any kind leadership is the biggest thing is leadership and the way you guide the people who look up to you. Looking up to someone who created a business is very important because they see what kind of person you are.

Your own personal touch on why leadership skills are important is very relatable. At some point everyone wants to be their own leaders but some lack the skills or understanding for not only being a leader for themselves but others. This is an important realization for people to come upon especially depending on what they want to do and be in the future.

Dear Mynor,
I really like your post about the importance of leadersihp. I think no one can achieve great things without having someone work with them. And you also gave example in your personal life to illustrate your point about why should we learn leadership skills. It will help us succeed in professional world and family. Moreover, it is more important when you are trying to start a business.

Mynor, I love that you bring your own personal reasons as to why you think leadership skills are important in your life. That makes the reading feel personal and makes me believe that it is super important to gain leadership skills at a young age. I do agree with you, especially in this day and age we all strive to be our own boss in a sense. We don’t want to be under the thumb of some corporate CEO. Having leadership skills helps us achieve what we want and opens so many more doors fr us than we thought possible. Thank you for this piece and I can’t wait to read more from you!

Dear Mynor:

Your post,¨ Why Leadership Skills Are Important,” feels authentic to me when you talk about how to be a leader in the team-building skills and communication skills. It’s true what you say about how you can trust others and how to build a better relationship with other.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is ¨some benefits of learning how to be a leader are that it gives you better problem-solving skills. They must look at all the variables, opportunities, and resources available and find a creative solution.” I think this is real because sometimes it hard for people to open up for them to be in a better place with others

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next.
