<p>This is the clearist definition of leadership I have ever found. It hits on two essential points of leadership: that <b>you</b> must take the initiative in a leadership role, and that not all leadership roles are buerecratic. "Taking the inititative" means that a required activity (e.g. 4-H carnival) does not count as leadership (it is probably still <ahref="Section5.html">participation</a>, though).</p>
<p>For this section, it is imparative to be <b>very</b> specific. For each entry, include exactly what position you were in, and if appropriate what your duties were. If you list committees or other groups, make sure you specify whether you were a member or chair. You must show how <em>you</em> showed leadership, and not just some larger group of people.</p>
