Recommended: The importance of student leadership

1. What values did you admire from the student leaders on the panel and why?
The main value that I admired was from Kathryn Edmund’s, I love her definition of failure. Failure is not trying something and you didn’t achieve it. Instead, failure is bringing everyone together, who was involved in the situation that occurred and each individual would accept his or her own responsibility by owing up to their own mistakes. In the end, everyone would come together, apologize and move on. In the past, I have suffered with situations like this by blaming it on everyone and I would not accept my mistakes. As a result, I would always be in an environment that felt strange. Unfortunately, I have learned the hard way and have become a better leader in today’s …show more content…

As a student leader, I am determined to meet new friends and encourage individuals, who are on a mission to become future leaders. I believe that both “leaders and members [should] promote the organization’s purpose through a shared vision and not for self-gain, such as achieving a higher leadership position or frame” (Komives, Lucas and McMahon 2013, 97). I am an over-achiever and in order to get where I want to, there is no possibility without the help of my team players. Striving for excellence and making changes on campus, in the workplace, or an organization, should not be done by someone, in order to achieve a higher position or role. Again, leadership is not a role or a position. In order to become a leader, one has to have a passion for leading and working with others. That is to say, leadership occurs in and through relationship and “shared leadership goes beyond empowering others by the leader” (Komives, Lucas and McMahon 2013, 78). I enjoy meeting new people and creating relationships with individuals who uplift and encourage me. As a student leader, I would love to do the same for others and even more. I enjoy motivating and advising students, regarding future career goals and decisions that would embrace them and let them become a better person for the

    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,

    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,

    M.D. Arnold once said, “A good leader leads the people from above them. A great leader leads the people from within them.” Reading this quote always reminds me of my decision to go into the Human Resource Management and Development field. It reminds me of what being in a leadership role is all about and how the wrong kind of leadership influence can potentially break or corrupt an organization. Ever since I can remember, I have always been the friend who others felt comfortable enough to speak to about their issues. I have always been the student who tries to find different methods to learn. I have always been the employee who makes sure my peers feel comfortable with the work given to them. I have always been a leader.

    What is leadership? Leadership is having the ability to give guidance to those that will follow. Those that follow will help to complete the mission. Leadership is a soft science, just as anthropology, sociology and psychology. It cannot be proven exactly what it is. Leadership is an art, the skillful application of leadership behaviors beyond techniques is much the same as the skillful application of brushstrokes by a master painter. Leadership is both rational and emotional. It involves both sides of human experience. It includes actions and influences based on reason and logic as well those based on inspiration and passion. Leadership is a social process shared among all members of a group. Leadership development comes through experience. We all learn from our different experiences. Whether positive or negative, they are our tools for growth and development.

  • Personal Leadership Case Study

    My biggest personal leadership failure occurred earlier this year when I worked at Einstein Bros Bagels at Coffman Union. I stayed there from January until April making and serving bagels to customers. However, I had the morning shift, the busiest period of the day. Long lines would form every time I was there, and sometimes I couldn’t catch up. One day in April, my co-worker, a veteran making bagels, was absent, and someone who didn’t have as much experience replaced her. What followed was a mess. My team chemistry with the replacement was dreadful, and a ton of people had to wait a while for their orders. My manager saw the incident, and after my shift was over, he gave me the option of leaving my job. I accepted, but my self-confidence was in a state that was beyond repair. It was one of the first times that I felt I let others down with my work performance. I learned that I shouldn’t expect to be great at everything and that I should analyze my weaknesses before taking on something challenging.
