Recommended: Characteristics of effective teamwork in schools

In my experience with senior project it was challenging, fun, nerve-wracking, etc. I really loved working with the kids and making them laugh and just playing with them. Painting the tires and the letters for the rooms was very toxic but it was fun because I’m very artistic and creativity so that was a plus for my experience of senior project. My least favorite part of senior project is working with my group. I feel like if I had worked by myself I would have gotten things done more efficiently and the way I wanted to do. I also I wouldn’t feel like I was carrying with group. I had multiple strengths and weaknesses throughout this project, especially with dealing with my group. One of my strengths were leadership. I was often told by my group …show more content…

On the hand of the is project I had a lot of weaknesses despite my leadership role. One of my weakness is that I would often be silenced by my other group members. From the day that we first started senior project I have been overshadowed by the rest of my group members from what to do for senior project to what games to get for the kids. It really frustrated me that they would not only listen to my ideas but basically deem them as the wrong thing to do and just push them to the side. Because of this I noticed I developed an attitude of just throwing my hands up and saying whatever because they weren’t going to listen to me anyway so I just let them do whatever. This is one of my weaknesses because this not how a leader should act in anything and I need to do better on my leadership skills. If I could go back and do something different it would probably be the money situation. Instead of letting another one of my group members find a sponsor I should have did my idea of doing bake sales and fish fries around the area of the daycare to raise money for our music

    Since this past summer, I have been working with Wilson Workforce and Rehabilitation Center (WWRC) to create a project for my Senior Capstone Project at Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School. This project has been incredibly influential towards defining my current outlook on my potential future and career in Engineering. In an effort to expand upon what I have learned at SVGS through an Introduction to Engineering class, I wanted to use the programming skills that I have obtained to wire, design, and program a new sensor and create something to assist the patients at the center. Therefore, I have collaborated with the physical therapy department and am currently working on a motorized wheelchair sensor device. This sensor will act as a warning

  • Sophomore Year Reflection

    2015 was a real turning point in my high school career. I finally started working harder in school and started to enjoy it more. Although the enjoyment came right back down, it was still fun while it lasted. My writing however, has greatly changed. SAT #2 was where I really started having fun. “For Susan was a sinner. She smoked Crack Cocaine every day!” (SAT #2, Nowak) That was the SAT journal that made me realize that writing didn't have to be a chore. However the second half of the year was a little different. I think I started to grow lazy. My previously fine-tuned papers were now pretty much rants. “Pink is used anywhere from romantic nonsense to childish obsessions.” (Gatsby Color Analysis, Nowak) For my Gatsby analysis, my writing was all over the place and covered a wide range of topics. Unfortunately it made it sound pretty bad. I am starting to get better and regularly

    Being a leader is no simple task. During my Eagle Scout project, I lead a range of people, from adults to youth. It was my job to make sure everyone was working and, that everyone was capable of doing their task. I had many issues doing this throughout my project because I am only one person and I can’t be everywhere at once. Thusly made being a leader a drudgery. But I had an incredible set of adults guiding me along the way, who taught me that being a leader was not doing everything myself, being a leader

    Leadership is not something that is effortlessly attainable. You have to know how to work together with people, emphasizing the word together. Being a leader should not be someone who just orders around and blames others if there was a misapplication, a leader is someone who works with others in an effort to obtain an improved event and takes part of the blame which he/she cooperates and indulges to find the source of the problem and how to solve it. I hereby consider myself that I portray the quality of leadership, I work together with each individual in a way that everyone will be favorable by the ending results. And I agree that not always something turns or works the way we expect, thus I must work together to find a

    Everyday we are leaning new skills and talents for leadership. In every decision we make we learn whether we realize it or not. One of my best skills of leadership is leading my example. I am not a very outgoing person so taking charge of situations will not be something I do, but I lead by way of my actions. It is difficult to lead that way because if a mistake is made that is the only thing people remember. My biggest weakness has to do with me not being outgoing. Because I am not outgoing I do not go up and talk to people I do not know, and I do not try to lead in a large group. I often try to avoid groups. In school, I would much rather work along than with a group. This semester had been difficult for me because it has required much group work and I have had to become accustomed to it and learn to deal with it. Honesty and Trustworthiness are two major leadership values that I believe are necessary in a leader. You h...

    Being a leader you need to be in tune with your talents, strength’s, and weaknesses. Personally I feel I have many skills and talents. I am a great friend, I’m trustworthy and dependable. I can step up to the plate if needed and I can take control of certain situations without being told to. I love writing and being able to express my feelings or thoughts through writing and poetry. Along with my talents and skills I also have weaknesses. Knowing your weaknesses is twice as important as knowing your strengths in my opinion. One weakness of mine is being motivated. Once I start a task I will finish it and put 150% effort into it, but actually starting the task is my problem. Another weakness of mine is change. I have a problem with drastic change; I have a comfort with familiarity. With every leader there is going to be strengths and weaknesses and I think it’s very

    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

    In a team-oriented setting, everyone contributes to how well the group succeeds overall. You work with fellow members of the group to complete the work that needs to be done. Having the right people in the correct roles is an important factor in measuring the success of a team, where you are united with the other members to complete the main goals. Every group is made up of definite strengths and weaknesses. Our team's 3-5 major strengths necessary to work accordingly consist of Informer, Summarizer, Orienter, Piggy-Backer, and Encourager. One of our strengths as a team is that we get input from everyone involved. Every member of our team is a leader in some way. Part of being a good leader is knowing how important it is to receive the best ideas from each member of their team. We attend group meetings where we discuss any challenges, issues, and problems. At these meetings, we often exchange ideas or brainstorm new ones with each other and come up with the best and most creative team solutions as potential answers to those perceived problems.

    To inspire and influence others, a leader must have many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Jim Rohn, states, “ the challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.” (2010) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.
