What is the breaking point of being an encouraging leader and knowing when to cut members from your organization? When does a leader realize he or she cannot possibly encourage a constituent anymore in a way that will produce results? I have been learning this lesson over the course of this semester, and I feel much more comfortable making the decision to either stick with one of my constituents or cut ties in the best interest of the organization.

Being a leader puts individuals in a position of scrutiny and criticism. If a person wants to take on a leadership position, he or she must understand that people will not always agree with, like, support, or appreciate his or her efforts; therefore, it is vitally important for leaders not to expect to always be the most popular person, but rather put himself or herself in the position to be respected for doing what is best for the collective whole.
