COMS 201 has been an interesting, yet somewhat hard class. In the past, I have enjoyed online classes because I can work at my own pace and do my homework and learning when I had the time. When I look back, I have realized how much work I have put in into a two credit hour class and this class was not what I was expecting at all. I was thinking the class would be laid back and enjoyable. Sometimes I enjoyed the class, but most of the time this class was a pain. From this class though, I feel that my leadership journey has changed and I have grown in how I view leadership in my daily life. In this reflection, I will discuss my leadership journey with this class, review my journal entries if I saw growth or not, and some advice I would give my future self to help with my work of leadership.
To help with my leadership journey, one of the topic that we learned in class was the idea of adaptive leadership and technical leadership. This class wanted us to have the aspect of adaptive leadership and continue to use that idea in our daily life. As I …show more content…

  • My Leadership Philosophy

    1261 Words  | 3 Pages

    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.

    Introduction Through identification and ongoing assessment of her leadership style and ability, this leader is able to develop and understand her own strengths and limitations in order to grow and develop into a more effective leader.

A Personal Model of Leadership Servant leadership was a term that was first used by Keifner Greenleaf (1970) in his first essay, The Servant as Leader (as cited by Crippen, C., 2005). Greenleaf based his essay on his belief that a servant leader is a servant first, and explained that it would begin with the natural urge to serve and then the leader would make a conscious choice to become a leader, in doing so he makes the choice to ensure that others needs are met first (2005 ). As a servant leader develops he should always keep aware of those who he serves and strive to ensure that they are becoming healthier, wiser, freer, have an increase in autonomy, and become more like servants themselves (2005).
