Kobe bryant - an Example of Genuine Leader

Kobe Bryant was one of the best basketball players in the history of the game. He played his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. He entered the NBA directly from high school and won five NBA championships. 

There are many positives about Kobe and his leadership and his influential acts. One of these is his determination to get something done or to help others understand. There is not another player in the league who is as determined to win the title, year in and year out quite like Kobe Bryant. His determination drives him on and off the court making him basically unstoppable and an amazing man to look up to. There is a reason why he plays through every injury possible and wants the ball in his hands whenever the clock is running down. He wants to win, and he thinks that he is the best possibility for his team to win, every game.

That may seem like a bad thing at times, but I would rather have a guy leading my team who wants to take the last shot than a guy who shies away from the important moments. He would also teach you to be better and live up to your full potential as he doesn’t like people hiding in their “shells” if they are an impeccable player. Also, his efforts off the court like helping people in need and also charity work also catch your eye on how his leadership stands out and how people are influenced by him. He has shown us in many examples throughout his basketball career that his leadership lifts others to be better. For example throughout the 2012 NBA season, there were multiple points, and even a few times in the playoffs when Kobe Bryant was able to realise that his team wasn't playing as well as they could, he took the reigns of the game, scoring at will. A stretch of 40-point games in January kicked off a Lakers winning streak, which came along with 38 and 43-point games by Kobe against the Nuggets to grab wins for the Lakers. He also had 36, 38 and 42-point games over the final three of their series against Oklahoma City. So, as long as you have a guy that can do this on a regular basis, your team is in a good position. 

His leadership throughout that period made people inspired, which is a good characteristic of being a leader, so people can look up to you. Kobe has displayed that leadership can be done by everyone, but you need to have the desire and determination to thrive, and also always encourage and teach your teammates throughout the process.
