In the course of this class, I have come to realize that the two most influential leadership strengths of mine are the Guardian and Coach role. With respect to the Guardian role, I believe that this resonates with me because many of my life experiences revolve around establishing trust between individuals, and I hold the sayings of ‘know thyself’ and ‘respect’ very close to my heart. When my parents immigrated to the United States, they spoke very little English. When I was born, I was fortunate enough to not only learn my mother tongue, Hindi, but also English. Due to my bilingual capabilities, my parents frequently employed me aid them in translating and conversing with many people in our lives – my teachers, healthcare workers, neighbors. My parents put a tremendous amount of trust in me while I conversed on their behalf, the persons I conversed put their trust in me to converse with my parents on their behalf, and as a result, I was able to establish a mutual trust between them and their respective trust in me. Additionally, I have continued to embrace the challenge of aiding refugees in the local Phoenix area by going out with the help of the International …show more content…
In this insight, I scored an 8 for Part A, and a 0 for Part B, which meant that I was especially engaged in my favorite class and especially disengaged in my least favorite class. While I expected these results, it was shocking to me that I really made no effort to study on a regular basis and put little to no effort into this class. In taking this assessment, I realized that it is not just the professor’s fault or the subject matter’s fault for disliking the class. Rather, you are also accountable for your actions in the course of the class, whether it be studying or putting in the effort. You also have the ability to improve your situation by forcing yourself to become accountable and more
The patient was noticeably frustrated when she left the room. Dr. Schultz had given her extensive advice and very kindly told her that he would be unable to help with her problem. I was surprised. Not one to shy away from total knee replacement surgery, Dr. Schultz has always been confident, even with patients that are not in the primest physical condition. I realized that Dr. Schultz 's honesty reflected his true care for his patient. Dr. Schultz told me that it was difficult for him to say that he couldn 't operate on her. He said that once I become a physician, I must be able to go through all the training and experiences in my life and still retain the ability to say that I don 't have a good answer, even if it turns me into some sort of
How will I benefits as a leader if I am able to develop the identified Skills and Benefit?
For Leadership day I attended the political science major lecture. I regret that my seminar did not travel anywhere like other majors or have the same networking opportunistic like the criminal justice major seminar being held next door. Part of the leadership seminar was identifying personal values and representing this institution. Honesty is a trait that holds strong with most cadets here and it is certainly a value that The Citadel believes in. Holding true to the standard of honesty, I must be honest that this seminar did not present anyone with new concepts. Elevator speeches, networking and follow ups are concepts that have been covered time and time again on Tuesday LTPs. To dedicate a whole day to this was a wasted opportunity. We
As an officer in the United States Army, it has been imperative for me to understand every facet of leadership and why it remains important to be an effective leader. During this course, I have learned some valuable lessons about myself as a leader and how I can improve on my leadership ability in the future. The journal entries along with the understanding of available leadership theories have been an integral part of my learning during this course. For all of the journals and assessments that I completed, I feel it has given me a good understanding of my current leadership status and my future potential as a leader. All of the specific assessments looked at several areas in regards to leadership; these assessments covered several separate focus areas and identified my overall strengths and weaknesses as a leader. Over the course of this paper I will briefly discuss each one of these assessments and journal entries as they pertained to me and my leadership.
As a leader in our church, after attending the program in Clinical Pastoral Education, I
"You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you 're not passionate enough from the start, you 'll never stick it out” (Steve Jobs). Reading that quote there is one word that really sticks out and says something to me; passionate. To be or to become the greatest leader in whatever field you’re into, if there is no passion in the work or goal you’re trying to achieve, you’ll never be able to stick it out or grow/prosper in the end. Just like the quote above from Steve Jobs states.
In this course, one of the main things I have learnt about is Stauffachers leadership context and principles. I have always understood what makes a good leader on the soccer field, its someone who takes responsibility and comes up with the goods when the team is struggling. However this course has allowed me to look more into the leadership qualities. The first is purpose, if you are leading you need to have a vision of what you want to achieve, if not it’s going to be difficult to see progress and keep motivated. I have found that if I don’t have a goal or vision to work towards I can become distracted easily and not perform as well. Leaders provide a sense of direction, they set goals, standards and bring a group closer together. On my soccer
What is the actual meaning of a „paradigm” ? (,) one might ask. Well as the book “7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens” states, a paradigm is just another word for perception. But then, why not just use the word “perception”? I mean it’s easier not only to write but also to pronounce. Paradigms are special because those are the ways that YOU perceive something, it’s YOUR point of view and YOUR belief only. For example, you might be convinced that you don’t have what it takes to be a leader in a school project, but you have to remember that a long time ago, people were sure (actually convinced) that our planet, Planet Earth, was the center of the Universe, thus, a misconception. I have also encountered this
At my previous organization, I maintained a close and trustful relationship with my manager, and I was able to communicate more frequently with her. Sometimes, I was able to discuss with my manager about subjects that had no relationship to the work. My manager provided me with resources in order to grow on the job, and she motivated me with her past experiences. This implies that, I have in-group dyadic relationship with my manager.
I have been a leader in several different occasions but there is a certain one that really sticks out. The one that really sticks out to me is being the president of a club at my junior college at Lincoln College which is located in Lincoln Illinois. The club is called Rotaract which is the college name for Rotary. I was the president for one academic year then I passed it onto an underclassmen named Zoe.
A leader is an individual who leads the team with all respect and care, never lets a member of the team to stay behind when all others are moving forward. For instance, during my under graduation days back in India, we were assigned a project to be completed within a span of 25 days. We were a group of 6 individuals, with mutual consent we opted one of our friend to lead the team. The work to be completed was distributed equally among all the members of the team. When one of the individual experienced the difficulty to complete the work, the leader of the team stood ahead and helped him complete his job by motivating him all the time. This was the day, I experienced the characteristic of a true leader in my personal life. Furthermore, leaders
Leadership is trait that is extremely important in any society. Leadership is known as the way people attempting to make a difference in a situation. However, I believe that it is better said to be a way of influencing others actions. Leadership is usually connected to a great leader that affected his or her followers in a dynamic way. Throughout the semester for my leadership class, I have expanded the knowledge in numerous ways. I now have fully understanding of the purpose and process of leadership to a society. Being a leader one must maintain an image of being the role model. I believe that this is leader should be who is someone who has the ability to influence, encourage, listen, and nurture. They are able to inspire, stimulate, persuade, shape, and have an effect on others.
Within the last decade, society has seen an alarming transformation in the efforts of effective communication. These changes have been both positive as well as negative. Influential leaders in the civilian sector, as well as the military, have found themselves dealing with either internal or external issues on a daily basis. Value-based leadership, self-reflections, and communication: these three terms are the guiding principles that can successfully rebuild today’s labor force. Wrongful communication tactics can leave behind an echo effect, damaging a company 's status permanently as information nowadays is persistent, retrievable and ubiquitous (Zamani, Giaglis, & Kasimati, 2015).
Leadership is found not just at work but all around us. In any situation, leaders take a step forward and take charge of the situation. It can be at home, at work or at any other place. Leaders are never born, they become leaders because they have the credibility and people would love to follow them.
According to Jenkins (2009), a leader must be able to influence, motivate and empower others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organization. The use of right leadership style is also paramount to influence the effectiveness of change in the organization. (Jenkins, 2009) Therefore, leadership self-assessment is an important tool for leaders to understand their personal leadership style, traits, characteristics, behaviours, and cognitions so that organizational change can be successful (Edmunds, n.d.)
