Project Overview

1. Description of Our Team

This is our third year. We are chosen topic leadership after discussing it with so many people. Our Team members are Utkarsh, Sarthak, Vignesh and Advait. We have worked very hard and divided work among ourselves equally. We selected this topic as we are really concern about our county and it's leaders. We think that a good leader can make a lot of difference. So we discussed our concerns with so many leaders and teachers. And finally we started working on this topic. Miss Madhuri helped us a lot whenever we needed her help.

2. Summary of Our Project

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Leadership is one's ability to get others to willingly follow. Every organization needs leaders at every level.

A leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, what success looks like and how to achieve it. But it’s not enough to have a vision; leaders must also share it and act upon it. 'Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision and relentlessly drive it to completion.'

A leader communicates his or her vision clearly and passionately, and with conviction. Only if he is convinced about his vision, can he motivate others to follow it.

So it's critical to distinguish between the skill of performance and the skill of leading the performance, two entirely different skills. The leader coaches his followers, inspires enthusiasm and depends on good will. The leader says 'WE', fixes the breakdown and says 'LET'S GO! This is how each and every Ryaniteis trained to be at Ryan International. Students are moulded to become leaders by providing them opportunities to lead by example, motivate and move their fellow students and above all to inspire and to act.Students practise their leadership qualities through class leadership at the beginning. Later they become members of the parliament, headed by the president and carry out various responsibilities and discharge the duties assigned to them. The school strives to build in them the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to …
