As someone that is not at a management position at his job and was never a club leader, I was hoping for a thread compiling leadership characteristics for someone like myself. I'm sure I'm not the only one at this position. Perhaps someone can pitch ideas for leadership characteristics that we can use in essays that may be displayed in non-leadership positions at work and in every day life. For example, something like taking initiative at your job. Would that be considered leadership experience that would be looked upon favorably?

-Managing recruiting for undergrads
-Taking a lead on junior staff training
-Managing projects between separate teams/offices/etc.
-Leadership in extra-currics/volunteer work
-Bringing about some sort of change in procedures or a new analysis at work (i.e. overhauling audit procedures)
-Motivating peers to take on some new responsibility that they weren't doing before
I think a lot of it is very job specific so it depends what you do, but yeah, I definitely think you can show leadership without having the "managing director" or "VP" title. Which essays are you working on?

I'm actually not working on essays yet. The reason I found this site was because I took the GMAT in October, but I won't apply at least till next year. However, I do remember seeing a Kellog Essay that asked about leadership experience. Thanks for the help. And I'm not even a manager at my job, so I'm far from a managing director and VP.
Hence I wanted ideas.
