What do you do to lead?

[ehochstein]

I wasn't able to find a specific thread on leadership since 2007, so I've decided to start one.

What I am looking for is a description on how you lead on your team. Whether you are the lead coach/mentor of your team or a student on a sub-team I want to know what you do.

How to you motivate others to accomplish tasks? What do you do in the face of disappointment or victory? How are you an everyday leader? What keeps you going - what inspires you to inspire others?

Please keep in mind everyone has a different style of leadership and different things work for different people. We are not here to criticize anyone, this is merely a thread to explain how you lead others.
