Recommended: Importance of leadership in school

Leadership the word I hear so often in school, scouts, and clubs. Leaders are needed everywhere and that is why so many different places talk about leaders and their importance. They are the ones that can effectively lead a group to their goal. I have done much of this mostly in scouts, there isn’t very much group problem-solving in schools that require it or I was leading and didn't notice. Most leadership in schools is only really in clubs and I never really enjoy being the leader in those. The only real leadership position that have really gotten in school was being a WEB leader at kelly middle school. But I have done many leadership activities in my boy scout troop and if you do call my contact for my BSA positions, beware he likes to talk a lot but he’s awesome and has many stories. …show more content…

Not always seeing progress but accept that it's there and getting done. I have also done NYLT which is a leadership training course and I have been through and have staffed. The Idea is that you put together with a group of 5-6 individuals (mostly boys but some girls too that are from venturing that coed that also go through this training long story) that don't know each other and they have to work together by leading each other to bypass any obstacles that the staff has put before you. We also give presentations and help with effective leading, if needed. NYLT is a week-long camp that takes place during the summer. Well I have also done many things in my troop but I don’t want this to be too long so I’m going to end it here. I have lead many and taught others to do the same, Thanks for

    Everything in leadership will be determined by the competency of the leader. John C Maxwell is credited with saying “everything rises and falls on leadership. The leaders are often the ones making the decisions influencing success or failure. When I think of competency, I believe it is important to acknowledge the difference between competency and confidence. Confidence is the belief that I can lead; competence requires results of successful leadership. Confidence is the place people get the idea a person is a “good guy.” Being a good guy or even being confident is not a qualification of competency; it merely means one has the right to have dinner. Being a good guy allows

    Being a leader is no simple task. During my Eagle Scout project, I lead a range of people, from adults to youth. It was my job to make sure everyone was working and, that everyone was capable of doing their task. I had many issues doing this throughout my project because I am only one person and I can’t be everywhere at once. Thusly made being a leader a drudgery. But I had an incredible set of adults guiding me along the way, who taught me that being a leader was not doing everything myself, being a leader

    I think I tend to shy away from these positions because I prefer to work behind the scenes. However, my leadership positions have shown me that it is not just a matter of guiding others, but it is about helping others. For the past two summers, I have been a youth leader at my church’s Vacation Bible School. I usually read Bible stories to the children, play with them, and give them instructions. I feel that this position brings out the best in me because I realize that I could be influencing a young child and the person he or she will become. Being a leader does not necessarily involve leading people. For example, this past Fall, I decided to organize a fundraiser selling t-shirts so that I could donate money to the Harvest Youth Club. Although I wasn’t necessarily leading a group of people, I had to find a t-shirt design, keep track of orders, negotiate prices, and encourage people to buy one. This leadership opportunity forced me to be independent and lead myself to bring good to others at the Harvest Youth Club. I have come to realized that with each leadership opportunity, I have become more confident in the person that I want to

    Leaders do not just appear out of thin air and automatically start making great things happen in the world. A leader must learn from prior leaders or role models that they are surrounded by that they look up to. Not everyone can be a leader, only some people have the correct characteristics it takes to lead others in the right direction. Those who do great things, for example volunteering at a homeless shelter, are not leaders. Many people mistake a “great person” as being a leader, which is completely incorrect (Kouzes and Posner, p. 3). While playing an active role in your community is a positive thing it does not make someone a leader of that community. All leaders have a group of people they have inspiration too and that is a good way of determining who your personal leaders are. My mother, brother, and grandfather are my leaders because I have always looked up to them and tried to mimic some of the great things that I have seen them do. My mother has always been an independent women with goals and an action plan to accomplish those set goals. Stephen, my elder brother, is outgoing and tends to have a leveled head when it comes to evaluating stressful situations. My grandfather is the most caring person I know and he is amazing at keeping situations under control in order to please everyone. These are all the qualities I want to combine into my own leadership style. I know I am not a efficient leader of these actions yet, but I plan on growing into this as I more on into my career, fulfill my set goals, and adjust to the curve-balls that life throws at me.

It is not just my view, but of all leaders, at all levels, that organizations are responsible for setting conditions that lead to long-term organizational success.

  • I am a Born Leader

    Being a leader for in almost any given situation has been an innate quality that I have possessed for as long as I can remember. I have always found myself nominating myself for leadership positions. My most recent and fulfilling leadership position would be my eleventh and twelfth grade school years when I held the position of Drum Major for Purnell Swett High School’s Marching Rams. Being in this position meant that I had to give up the spotlight of performance, turn my back to the crowd, and lead my fellow band members on and off of the field of competition, high school football games, and community parades. Over the course of these two years, I have learned many defining qualities about myself and have learned how to incorporate these newly learned and innate qualities to my everyday life. Throughout this two year experience the quality that I feel tested more than others, was the quality of patience. Often times before I held this position, I found myself becoming extremely impatient with individuals and situations when they would not go the way as planned or as smoothly as I had planned for them to go. This position taught me that not all situations are going to run smoothly and that we need to make the best of what we are presented with. It also taught me that not all individuals learn at the same pace, the same way, and at times do not handle individuals close to their own age giving instructions on how to complete a task. With this realization, I found myself trying to find methods of teaching that appealed to all individuals as well as found ways of not coming off as trying to force individuals to complete the tasks the way that I see fit.
