There are several indisputable qualities of a good leader: integrity, responsibility, cooperation, and the list goes on. To me, a combination of four traits will fruit a successful leader who fosters a community that is a reflection of cooperative dedication and resilience. Those four qualities being tenacity, humility, flexibility, and most importantly passion. Tenacity describes persistence and determination. A good leader must inherit a strong work ethic. A driven leader will not only continually strive for the betterment of him/herself but also act out of the betterment of his/hers community. I believe tenacity is a progressive trait to possess especially for HOSA. The medical field is driven by innovation; a leader with tenacity will work relentlessly to serve others and inspire curiosity. Humility to me is also essential because a great leader will strive others selflessly, without need for praise or glory. A distinguished leader’s humility inspires a community of kindness. Humility allows oneself to be self-aware and an eager learner. The ability to admit to one's mistakes allows self-growth as well as communal growth. In my opinion, a flexible leader is able to adapt to the dynamic structure of his/hers diverse community. Being able to adapt different perspectives stimulates confidence in the actions of the members. Being flexible also allows a leader to delegate conflicts in their community and therefore foster cooperation. Finally, the most important trait for a leader to possess is passion. A leader driven by their passion to serve others, educate, and learn will naturally act from sincere intentions. They will lead authentically with integrity. Based on experience, passionate leaders have the most fun serving others, are continually seeking ways to express their passion, and inspiring others to channel their passions. With passion, all other aspects of a successful leader will fall into place such as responsibility, accountability, and commitment.
