During residency we were shown a video about leadership and how leaders inspire others to follow them and how they create a movement. I believe that to be a great leader being inspirational is key for people to believe in you. Kotter states that leadership is when someone “achieves a vision that requires motivating and inspiring – keeping people moving in the right direction” (2001, p. 86).
The people noted in our list of leaders all have this quality. Each of us has been inspired in some way by their words or actions, motivating us and encouraging us to believe in them. Leaders are trustworthy and dedicated to their cause.
One of the leaders I chose on my list was Calgary’s Mayor Naheed Nenshi, in 2014 he was awarded the World Mayor Prize
