The video “Why credibility is the foundation of leadership by Barry Posner” is the one which stood out for me. In this talk, Barry talks about how a person becomes a leader. According to him, a leader is created when an individual is followed by a group of people and in order for people to follow that particular person he/she needs to have some credibility which will attract people towards that individual. As according to him people only follow those people who are honest, inspirational, confident, goal-oriented, and has opinions (Tedx Talks, 2015). I will also follow those people who have the traits in him/her that are mentioned in the above-given list. Truly, according to me too a leader cannot be made if the individual does not have some kind of trait which will make people like them.
