Realistically, I actually feel like the most challenging aspect of being an Orientation Leader is making sure that I am aware of my actions at all times because in some cause I will provide students and parents with their first impression of what college can be like. In order to overcome this challenge, I plan to ask my peers for advice and also conduct myself in a manner that shows how tremendous of an individual I am. 4. Of all things, the thing that stood out to me the most was a time during my first semester of my freshman year when I received my first F in college. For me, this was a wake-up call that in order to succeed in my college career, I am going to have to put in the effort not only in the classroom but outside as well. This experience undoubtedly shaped me in many ways that are beneficial to the roles which come along with being an OL. This specific experience is relevance to the role of an OL because for example, how can you lead by example if you, yourself, are a bad

Aside from cultural leadership, my style relates to the attributes of a transformative leader. Through analyses of the Bell Curve, Leadership Behavior, and Motivation assessments, I had a strong need to see others succeed. I see college as a transformative experience and the front desk position is able to give students the qualities to be successful after college. I inspire my employees to share my vision and help them understand the reasons behind my values. I show personal integrity, self-confidence, and optimism for the future. Though these qualities I transform the organization with a more effective team.
Leadership to me means helping and motivating others to help them excel in an activity. I would like to become a leader because my Muskoka experience in grade 9 was a great way to make me feel part of the school community. Muskoka helped me meet new people and create many strong and long-lasting friendships. I found that this experience made going to high school a lot easier and a lot less stressful. I feel as a Muskoka leader I would be able to pass on the same experience I had with the new students.

Despite not being a part of over 20 different organizations, as some claim to be, being a part of a smaller number of groups has allowed me to focus on developing my leadership skills more thoroughly than I could otherwise. Not spreading myself too thin has made me much more committed and involved in the organizations that I am a part of, making my influences so much stronger. I firmly believe that I am trying my absolute best not only in school, but in leaving my comfort zone and being an active member in our community. I am honored that I have been considered for such a prestigious invitation as
Leadership has always been a frightening word and a role I would often avoid. The thought of leading someone in the wrong direction is even more intimidating. Nevertheless, being a leader should not be something I avoid. However, I should embrace it now that I am seeking a degree in Nursing Education. Identifying my strengths and how to effectively implement them into my advanced practice role will assist me in becoming a great leader. Identify traits that I have can also help me understand how to use them in a leadership role. Hopefully, after this assessment I will view leadership from a different perspective.
The role of leadership has become increasing valuable for organizations to be successful. According to Huber (2014), Leadership can best be defined as method utilized to ensure that an objective is completed. There are many different types of leaderships that can be found within each organization. In this paper I will highlight an example of a specific leadership style that we come across in healthcare settings. I will review my leadership self-assessment results and discuss the impact of leadership on staff and groups.
Identifying my strengths has never came easy to me. I can quickly state my flaws, but speaking about what I can contribute has always been a challenge. Taking the strengths assessment was an eye opener because by results described me perfectly. Discovering my strengths will help me in my future practice as a student affairs professional and my current position as the Student Development Specialist of a college preparatory program for high school students.
Growing up I have always taken on leadership roles. I was always the organizers of group projects and was team captain of my club and high school soccer team for several years. This past experience with leadership roles has lead to me developing several of valuable traits associated with leadership. For example, I have strong communication and problem solving skills, which have helped me in my past leadership positions and will continue to be an asset in the future. Although I have had experience in leadership roles in the past, I learned through this reading that there is room for a considerable amount of growth. One thing that was a valuable lesson for me was that leaders must be followed as well as follow others at times. I have always took control of situations and tried to lead others, but now I realize that sometimes even leaders need to take a back seat and let their followers take some control. I will employ this in the future in the clinical setting to ensure that all of my subordinates or colleagues feel they have control and power over the decisions being made. This is definitely an area I intend to grow in and utilize in the future to enhance my leadership abilities. In addition, another lesson that I will put into practice in the future is building meaningful relationships with my colleagues. As a
One of the greatest strengths I bring to the field practicum is optimism. In the helping profession I believe hope/positivity is very important because it affects how I see problems, how I solve problems, how I help my clients, and how I make decisions. Secondly, self-awareness would be another strength I have to offer. I am constantly doing self-evaluations of my heart, motives, biases, and good/bad habits. This allows me to continue to improve myself as an individual and as an employee. My greatest limitation would be fear of failure. I have this burning desire to help individuals, families, and communities, but in doing that I do not want to fail them. My desire of wanting to provide clients with the best and seeing them succeed is a strength

I recently made the decision to pursue organization leadership, which was a major decision in my life.
