Leaders are not born, are created. Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organization; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring. Tips for a leaders at Toastmasters : Plan Ahead. Those who fail to plan, plan to  fail. Set Realistic Goals. Don't overburden your club members, focus on the Distinguished Club Program goals and most everything else falls into place. Communicate Early and Often. Don't let problen linger. Adress them in a possitive manner to resolve them. Be a Leader. Your job is to help your club's members and fellow club officers achieve their education goals in Toastmasters.
