Strong leadership becomes a moot point if the group members are uninterested in the mission and goals. You must develop a strong rapport and you all need to be on the same page. This involves trust and confidence on both ends. As a leader, you want to motivate people by giving them a chance to utilize their strengths to obtain positive results. They provide opportunities to fulfill their goals and dreams.
Outstanding leaders are able to influence others to work toward their goals.
Leaders are there to coach, direct and nudge people in the direction of the goals. They have a strong ability to pass their intensity along to their others. They are always in the trenches right along with everyone else. A leader guides a group, not rules the group. Ultimately, you are responsible for providing a great atmosphere for members to learn, grow and help them identify obstacles in the path you are providing for them.
