Peer Leader Application Questionnaire:
1. What do you think a peer leader does? What kind of qualities should a peer leader have? I think a peer leader is a figure that freshmen can look to for experience as a student in this school. A peer leader is there for freshmen and be someone who they can share their difficulties at school while also should not only be there for advice but also be there for students and encourage them to push themselves socially and academically. I think a peer leaders can add an important yet subtle aspects of comfort and confidence to a freshman’s experience even if it means saying hi walking down the hallway or asking for tips on a particular class. 2. Why are you interested in being a peer leader? Why do you think you would make a good peer leader? I am interested in being a peer leader because when I look back on my ninth grade experience, I realize how much I’ve grown and learned and when I talk to other people in my grade we always end up relating on the same issues we had. Although the ninth grade experience may vary with each year, the students themselves can relate to one another but I can be there to help facilitate the conversation which I’ve had experience in other conversations during Diversity Day.

In these workshops I took part in teaching other students about the different aspects of an individuals identity and what diversity means beyond just race with Stephanie and Sadie, and I also helped lead a workshop on the portrayal and representation of women of color in the media with Nasly. This year I also helped lead the Latino Heritage Assembly with the help of Ileana and Stephanie as we worked on the format of the assembly and eventually helped to facilitate a
Throughout the years of being a student at Council Rock, I have come to the realization of what a true leader is. A leader is not someone that just plans events, collects money, or shows up to meetings. Rather, this is someone that has a true connection with their peers, and has unmatched passion for what they do. With this, I can confidently say that since seventh grade, as a young adult, I have been shaped into an individual that fits these traits. Since that time, I have been involved in student government,
Throughout everyday tasks in the classroom, or outside of school, I step up and lead those who need to be led. I constantly find new opportunities to lead others and help the situation any way I can. Every summer the band has a marching band camp for a week straight that we must all attend. Being an experienced band member, I step up and assist all underclassmen and show then where to go and what they need to be doing. Instead of getting frustrated when giving the freshman directions, I am calm and collect and walk them step by step until they understand, something most leaders would not have time or patience for. With many plans to help others and lead within my community, I believe that I have what it takes to be a strong, and powerful leader for the National Honor Society.
This study aims to find the relationship between leadership performance style and project success and to research that whether the project success is influenced by leadership style. According to Belout and Gauvreau (2004), “Nowadays, project management has become a key activity in most modern organizations. Projects usually have a wide variety of objectives, involve numerous internal and external actors, and are conducted in various activity sectors”. Many researchers have agreed that project leadership is one of the most crucial elements of a project’s success. There are many views on leadership and according to Dulewicz and Higgs (2005), leadership has been studied more than any other aspect of human behavior. Higgs (2003) identified six
I aspired to play a significant leadership role in all of the activities someday, and over the course of my high school career, I thankfully have. This year as a senior, the student body elected me as the president of Student Council; members of National Honor Society (NHS) did the same; future business leaders elected me as the vice president of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA); and I received the votes to secure the office of secretary in the local Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter. Coaches and teammates have named me as an important asset as well. Over the years, these opportunities have presented me with many chances to enjoy extracurricular involvement, meet new people, and mature into a
It is the job of a leader to be a role model because people look up to you. Leadership is something I may have to work on a little because I am a shy person, but that doesn’t stop me. Last year, some 6th grade student were going to be selected to give a tour of the school to the 5th graders who were coming to Great Hollow the following year. My teacher was unsure that I would be a good choice because I am quiet in class. But I convinced him to let me be a tour guide and he was impressed with my performance. I was excited and talked to the students about the school and I was happy to be a leader and show the 5th graders what to do. I proved to myself I had
The role of a leader is often inaccurately defined as an individual who is in a position to give orders. However, there are enormous differences in the attributes of an outstanding leader, and one of mediocrity. An outstanding leader, above all else, is a role model for their peers. In doing so, a leader of the highest caliber is trustworthy in both their peer’s trust for the leader as well as the leader’s trust of their peers. A leader must also display exceptional skill in communication which transcends speaking and, more importantly, includes listening and consideration to the ideas presented to them. Furthermore, a leader must be supportive of and willing to help their peers build their own strengths. The attributes listed above represent only a small subset of what makes an outstanding leader. Yet,
Since elementary school I have been in Celina's Boy Scout Troop 69. Starting as a Tiger cub and after many years eventually becoming a Boy Scout. 10 years later it is my last year of being a Boy Scout and I will be aging out in April. From building fires, tying knots, and learning first aid, scouting has taught me life skills that I will never forget. The greatest lesson of all though has to be grasping the skills of being a leader. The character and roles of a leader are very important for everyone to understand. But they can also be hard to grasp. I was 16 and decided to run for the position of SPL or Senior Patrol Leader. The SPL is in charge on all troop activities and is tasked with running things smoothly. The
...ach a common goal. The leader should pose the qualities of encouraging the heart, modeling the way and inspiring a shared vision. As a leader, I want to do all three and more to everyone I meet in college and throughout my life. I do not want to be remembered for petty things, like awards and trophies but I want to be remembered as someone who made a difference in someone else’s life. The leader that actually cared about his followers and listened to what they had to say. A good leader is the best follower, I want to be that best follower.
You have to know how each person can contribute to the cause and see if it all works as it is supposed to be working. A leader must observe and mentor any individual who they believe is struggling with their part. Each individual has a purpose that must be fulfilled. Without a mentor, they would lack the support they need in order to do what they are supposed to do.
A significant part of effective leadership is the close connection between the leader and the follower, which often determines the success of the leader's mission. Unfortunately, this leader-follower relationship cannot be created according to some simple formula. Young leaders of today face special challenges as they try to communicate and interact with their followers and potential followers. By exploring global perspectives, human diversity, and ethics, young leaders can take yet another step forward in their development and preparation for twenty-first century leadership.

My freshman year of high school was the first time I was given the role of being a leader. I was a co-captain of the Westfield High School junior varsity softball team. This was an exciting time for me; my first year in high school, making the school team, and on top of that being honored with the role of co-captain. Of course, I had to earn that right to lead my team. That year I challenged myself to motivate the team with always exhibiting a positive attitude and
Besides academics, fine arts and sports in school, I have attained leading roles in different groups. This year, I am the Spirit Leader of Student Council encouraging monthly goals and themes and assisting in school events. From creating a student council with a group of peers three years ago we have had success in many events and have found new ways to spread spirit, gather important information and assist with financial groups. Recently, I stepped up to be the leader of the fundraising committee for our ...
When we work together in a team, or in a broader sense as a society, the leader takes on the most important role. It is the leader that helps prioritize activities and direct people’s thought process in the right direction. They are the ones who have the ability to bring the group together as a whole. Because of this, not anyone can be a leader. Only people with certain qualities and abilities are able to fill this role. So what makes a good leader? There is a defined path and specific characteristics that makes someone a good leader.
