What is Leadership?

There are many different ways to define leadership and there are many different theories out there about types of leadership. From visionary leaders to servant leaders and more, there are many ways you can define your own leadership style. The biggest part about leadership? It's always evolving! Leadership isn't something you can check off a list - it's something you continue to cultivate and change as you experience different jobs, teams, and environments throughout your time in college and beyond.

For some people, being a "leader" isn't something they may naturally call themselves. However, we all have the ability to lead others, and CU Denver can help you on your own path towards discovering your leadership strengths and how you can naturally implement them into your everyday life. We've included a few presentations below to guide you in exploring your own leadership styles and figuring out next steps you can take at CU Denver to continue learning and growing as a leader!
