Have you ever wondered what it really means to be a leader? Is leadership something you are born with or something you can learn and develop over time?
In today’s episode of Thinking in English, I’m going to explore the concept of leadership.
What makes someone a good leader? How is leadership different from authority? And how can you become a better leader?
I’m also going to use this episode to demonstrate some English collocations with the verb “take”.
Collocations are combinations of English words that commonly go together and sound natural to native English speakers.
I’ve taken all the “take” collocations that are listed on the academic collocation list, and I will incorporate these into this episode and demonstrate how to use them.
These are phrases that appear frequently in academic English and professional communication. Expressions like take responsibility, take initiative, take an approach and more.
By the end of this episode, not only will you understand what makes an effective leader, but you’ll also walk away with new vocabulary that you can use in essays, if you’re a student, meetings, maybe even job interviews.
So let’s get started. What actually is a leader?
