Hi Brothers, my name Thien Nguyen I’m honored to accept your nomination for Worthy Vice Counselor and that you believed I have the potential for the future of PDC. I am a Phi Delta Chi because you helped me through the toughest semester of my life by making Kingsville a human habitat. I want to be able to reflect that motto to the future of Brothers of PDC. In my 15 years of working experience, I have come across many great bosses, pharmacists, and team members. The one thing that I learned as the team leader is “Lead by example”. This may sound cliche, but I continue to live by it. I didn’t mind getting down and dirty. I didn’t ask my team to do the things I couldn’t do or wouldn’t do. If I asked them to come into work early, I would come early with them to show them how it …show more content…
The purpose is to reward Brothers who go above and beyond by attending more than one boys & girls club, highway clean up, American Bank Center and other events. So that they can earn “cash back” toward traveling expense like LDS, Regionals, Grand Council or Founders Day. Now, that we have a stable budgeting system and financial resource like, American Bank Center, we can use the point reward system to keep the outstanding Brothers motivated and let others see the incentive. The point reward system should not be in the bylaws, so that we can make adjustments as needed it. The recent visit to our Brother chapter, Gamma Nu, has strengthen my understanding of Brotherhood. One of the pledges, now a Brother, used a stack of Jenga as analogy of Brotherhood. The stability of the fraternity depends on the support each Brother, like each piece of Jenga. If a Brother fails to contribute, he’s a piece of Jenga that placed on top of the stack to create the weight for everyone else to carry. So, let me be the bottom piece that can strengthen our fraternity with my passion and
Women of Delta, especially the ladies of the Alpha Tau Chapter, excel excessively in everything they accomplish and partake in from what I have seen on Southern Universities campus and in the community. Their outstanding work ethics, academics success, social friendliness, dominating attitudes, and constant need to help others is just a few explanations why I would be honored to be a lovely member of ...

The duty of all organizations or corporations is to ensure effective camaraderie, and use their resources to comprehend the nature of a follower and what makes them function effectively.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you about my interest in becoming a member of The Kappa Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. I sought out membership because the members exemplify the epitome of class, grace, and standards. My desire is to inspire young girls and women and make a significant impact on their lives is just one of many reasons I aspire to join your great sorority. I believe in being of service, giving back to the community, and I want to continue on for years to come. Going into the transition into my college career from my freshman year until now, I have encountered many women in the organization that are very active on campus as well as in the community. My past experiences with my past and previous organizations have proved that once my feet are planted my roots will grow and I will stand firm in an organization or committee that I am apart of exemplifying my leadership skills.

I am a Mentor with the Valdosta community organization G.O.L.F.E.R. (Generating Opportunities in Life for Each
The purpose of Learning Leadership book is to answer a fundamental question: How do people learn leadership and how they can learn to become leaders? James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner have written this book as an exclusive guide for leaders to become the best leader by practicing the five fundamentals of becoming an exemplary leader. The book provides a framework to help people of all levels and backgrounds to develop their leadership style and become the best leaders they can be. Kouzes and Posner provide leaders a practical series of actions and some coaching tips for developing their leadership process and helping them to create a context to grow. The larger purpose of this book is to help leaders
Modeling the way is described as a leader practicing what they preach (Kouzes and Posner 29). A leader should set the example of what they expect from those that follow them. When a leader inspires a shared vision they “envision the future by imagining exciting and ennobling possibilities” and enlist others to join them by appealing to shared aspirations (22). Leaders know that in order to succeed they must experiment and take risks in order to challenge the process, build trust so that they may enable others to act, and “create a spirit of community” so that they can encourage the heart (17, 22). Along with reading The Student Leadership Challenge, student leaders can also find role models in various leaders throughout history, such as, Queen Elizabeth I, who exemplified the five practices of exemplary leadership because she was inspiring, took great risks, and encouraged her nation. Queen Elizabeth set a great example for the people of England in the 1500s and for the people of today—more than 400 years later.
Like this one “my responsibility is getting all my players playing for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back.” The quote is written by an unknown person but it is a good example of leading by example. “Where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18 meaning if there is no one to, lead by example then there is no one for them to follow. “Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better” I really like this one because it is saying that if you take leadership and try to lead by example then you unlock that person's potential to be a better
In conclusion, I believe that I can offer a wealth of expertise and experience in contributing towards the continued development of a cohesive, dynamic and collaborative school that focuses on offering outstanding world class learning opportunities for all. I consider myself to be a good role model to students and staff alike and I am committed to leading by example. This, combined with my drive, infectious optimism and commitment to playing a full role within the school beyond those duties set out, make me a strong candidate for the post.
Leaders: Strategies for Taking Charge is an organizational management book written by Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus for those who aim to become better leaders. The authors emphasize that having executive positions or being a manager does not automatically make one a leader. A leader is one who inspires his staff, help them find purpose in their work, and effectively implement their plans. They separate the book not quite into chapters on different topics, but rather by four strategies that they have determined are vital for any leader to take on. The strategies are effectively concluded as attention through vision, meaning through communication, trust through positioning, and the deployment of self. A prominent feature of Leaders is the various
In this instance, I was following Kouzes and Posner’s (2012) practice of model the way by participating in my values and using motivational skills to rally the group. Additionally, I demonstrated my pace setter leadership style in this moment and throughout the workout routine by verbally and physically directing participates to “Do as I do, now” (Goleman, 2015). I encouraged participants to follow my lead and be aware of their body position and form. I demonstrated the proper form during each exercise and comment on the important aspects to focus on when performing each move to support my values of safety. Leading by example is one of my stronger leadership styles and supported my position as a group fitness instructor because the students attending my class were typically highly competent and well motivated to follow the class demands (Goleman,
“In order to be a good leader, there are two things to remember. Lead from the Front and always set the Example. From these two leadership principles, everything else will fall into place.”
Although there are many outstanding, albeit necessary qualities of a good leader, it is the leader’s beliefs in which greatness is given its first breath, fostered by action, and spread throughout the institution. A great leader believes in encouraging, not destroying; in setting the precedence instead of yielding to prominence ; in collaboration, not division; in giving, not taking; and in having high standards and volunteering to be the first of many to be held to them. A great leader does not take advantage of the people being lead, but instead, creates an advantage for the people by giving them the opportunities to lead. Only when people take ownership of an institution will passion be cultivated, action be taken, and greatness be achieved.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Covey, 2004) has become the cornerstone of leadership and management wisdom. The habits emphasize personal responsibility and personal leadership. There is challenge in living everyday under the guidance of the habits but there is also great benefit as living the habits can influence everything we do in life. I was introduced to Covey’s seven habits through a one day seminar at my workplace several years ago. I learned some of the terminology and a few of the concepts but never really understood the power of the practical application of the habits. Reading the Covey materials has taught me that life is not about all the tasks that I accomplish but instead about accomplishing the tasks that support what is important to me. Covey has taught me that there are elemental components that are applicable across the many roles that I have in my life. Those universal elements are integrity, vision, discipline, and passion. Embracing these ideas has opened my eyes to the endless applications and benefits of living the seven habits.
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.
