Leadership
A leader is someone who influences the attitudes, opinions, or actions of others. Effective leaders set good examples for others, originate ideas and actions, delegate responsibilities, listen, attend to group satisfaction, praise, and learn continually. Strong leaders work to develop their skills and add value to everyone around them so the team grows stronger over time. The MSU Extension Service offers educational opportunities and materials to strengthen leaders of all ages and stages of life, from 4-H participants and volunteers to elected officials.
