 Celebrities are taken as responsibility and leadership models?

The media are great tools that allow us to communicate and access different channels of
information. Thanks to them we keep most of the time updated on global progress and in
constant contact with those who cannot be near us.

Of course I can say a big fan of media because people all over the world network each other

platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Understanding this is important for

and repetition. In either case, the characteristics of those in charge correlated to their ability to accomplish
3. Integrity
their goals. Just as importantly, those same traits determined how much – or how little – their followers looked

admirable leadership strengths.  5. Strategic planning
6. Focus
7. Cooperation

Leaders must influence passion, discipline, effort, and dedication. Their constant work is what
allows them to achieve their goals and be faithful advocates of the causes they support, so
that those who see through them maintain credibility and believe in achieving in their dreams.
