The leader I conducted my interview on is Madison Lazaro. Madison is an international missionary at the young age of seventeen. She has traveled to the Dominican Republic, Belize, and has even done some missionary work in Los Angeles. She is someone who has demonstrated leadership in many areas of her life.
The first question I asked Madison was how would the people around her describe her leadership style. Her answer was that most people see her as hands-on and active when trying to lead those around her. An example she gave of this was when she was thrown into a position where she had to tell a group of kids a bible story because the original person dropped out last minute. She improvised and took her own approach to convey the story by having the children act it out with her guidance. She gave out the roles based on the personalities of the children which made them more willing to act out their roles.
This is a good example of leadership because even though Madison was the designated leader, she did not take over and dominate with her ideas. She made sure to take the children and their wants into account. Her response to the situation was fitting and the children enjoyed their time with her because of her choice in using a hands-on approach versus just reading the story. When it comes to leadership roles, I tend to be shyer and reserved which agrees with the personality test. To improve on this, I need to work on breaking out of my shell. I tend to have many good
I have many experiences with leadership experiences due to my participation in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). In FBLA I had to take a leadership role in a group project that we compete with. While I was the leader I influence others to get the project done and work together as a team. I made sure that we were all on track and that our assign tasks were being completed. When there was an issue I would try to help them and figure out what was happening. I would bring peace when there was arguments.
I interviewed Ashley Porras, a Licensed Vocational Nurse at Sharp Rees Stealy. She gave me background information of how she got into the healthcare system, great advice and what she does on a daily basis. The reason I chose Ashley as the person to interview was because I got the chance to spend the day with her at work and I loved it. I found it interesting what she did and got the opportunity to learn more about her, her occupation and where she see’s herself in the future. Someday, I would be an LVN and gradually get higher in the healthcare field like she is doing now.
It can come from being in charge in a school project for language arts literacy or running a fundraiser to help raise awareness to a disease. They take charge in something with an effective sense and choose to embrace their acts of self assessment.What their group or themselves is good at,their weaknesses and strengths.Once they figure that out,everything goes smoothly.Even from a project once the topic is clearly explained and managed by the leader there is no problem getting across from the littlest of obstacles. True acts of leadership here in Terence C Reilly, is not being carried out by bad influences.They have a good ethic of relations with other classmates and prove to work collaboratively.Although teamwork and cooperation is part of a leadership, it all leads up to an effective communication within others.Students have different leadership skills,but never do it in a bad way. They are integrated and not even in schoolwork do they have to be leaders. You can hall moniter and you’re the leader of the hallway or perhaps setting up a new fundriser you had created.You are managaing something for
To begin, I exhibit qualities of a great leader. Firstly, at my Saturday morning bowling league, I am positioned as the anchor, which means I am expected to lead my team to victory.. Secondly, I lead by being a good example to my peers, and I am a positive role model. Lastly, when my friends have problems they come to me and I lead them to a positive solution. This is being a good leader.
My personal experiences of leadership started when I was younger, roughly 7 years old, I was elected the captain of my travel soccer team. At the time I didn’t think much of it, nor did I have any extra duties that I was explicitly told that I needed to perform. Later throughout the season, I started to notice my teammates mimicking my styles and techniques and I highly enjoyed this feeling of being looked up to. I didn 't realize until years after that the recognition and pride I felt was leadership. This privilege of being captain was the first time I had realized that people weren 't necessarily following my actions because I was extraordinarily skilled, but because I provided this role model status with my confidence and encouragement. Some of the most valuable leaderships traits that I acquired and fortified are:
I personally can show leadership by doing something as simple as walking my younger brother home. I lead him home and he trusts me so he follows. Having leadership also means to have people be able to respect you. If people can’t respect you or don’t think you have what it takes to be heard you can’t get your own opinions out for others to hear. Leadership is being able to guide or direct someone or something.
A leader should have characteristics like being responsible, trustworthy, and professional. I think I have all those characteristics and more. Being the oldest of four, I was expected to help out around the house. Tasked with getting my younger siblings up and ready for school helped me to become a mature a responsible person. Helping to care for my siblings when my mother went to work and getting them up every day for school helped instill a sense of responsibility in me.
I have demonstrated leadership in a several different ways. During middle school, I was a member of the National Junior Honor Society. In fact, I gave up a majority of my study halls to help out the advisor. I am currently a captain of my fall sport. Because I hold this position, I help the underclassmen during games, encourage them, and resolve conflicts. In addition to that, I used to be a teacher’s assistant to a second grade religious education class. Next year, I plan to join student government and maintain leadership positions.
I believe that leadership is largely a team effort rather than a one-person dictatorship. One area where I have displayed this form of leadership is on the soccer field. I have played the sport for four years now and have made lifelong connections with my fellow teammates through our intense sense of camaraderie. I know that I can depend on my teammates and they can depend on me during our games or just in the community in general because we have such a deep bond from working together to achieve a common goal. Another example of leadership is, whenever I am part of a group project, I ensure that everyone stays focused and on task and knows what exactly it is they are doing to contribute to the group. I am the one who helps others with any problems they may encounter and who checks behind everyone else’s work because I want to make sure that everything is done accordingly. My fellow classmates often come to me when they need extra help with their schoolwork or with understanding a new concept. I also demonstrate excellent academic initiative. I go out of my way to further research concepts mentioned in class when I get home so that I can have a full understanding of every topic. For example, while I was taking Spanish courses in school, I also downloaded a Spanish-learning app on my phone that I used when I got home to learn new concepts not
The reason I choice to interview Michelle is because I have been with her for most of her journey in getting to her dream job. Razo is our Human resource assistant, but is working to become our onsite human resource one day. Her ultimate goal is to have her own human resource consultant business. She feels it would help her community out to help the small businesses that cannot afford an onsite HR manager. She started off in the medical field as a manager for a billing office, there she learned the hardship people
"lead·er·ship ˈlēdərˌSHip/. The action of leading a group of people or an organization." But a leader is so much more than just the person in charge. They are leaders of new ideas, innovators, "thinkers" and "doers" - the people of tomorrow. Time and time again, leadership is demonstrated in literature for audiences of all ages, genders, beliefs, orientations, and socioeconomic statuses. But, we never really see the true leadership of a character until we connect to them in some way. Both Harriet Tubman, from Harriet Tubman: Guide to Freedom, and Mrs. Jones from Thank You, Ma'am, both show great leadership in these stories.
In class we defined leadership as using relationships to influence others. Before I came to the Academy I believed that a person could only lead their peers or subordinates. I did not believe that a subordinate could lead their superior. In high school I had many opportunities to develop my leadership with peers and subordinates. I was an officer of National Honor Society, and using that influence and my prior knowledge of NHS activities from the year before I was able to practice my leadership with my peers. I learned how to communicate in a manner to convince them to take action quickly, but not in a way that would seem overbearing or condescending. Furthermore, I was able to be a small group leader for a number of middle school retreats at my parish. In working with sixth grade boys I learned how to deal with insubordination and chaos, and with both of these groups of people I began to understand what was needed in a relationship between a leader and a follower. Our relationship had to be characterized by sincerity and respect. In both of these activities, those that I was leading could have easily stepped back and not paid attention to anything I was asking them to do. I had to convince them that I was absolutely dedicated to what I was trying to do, and that I had their best interest in mind. When leading middle school retreats I had to be a role model and show I valued my relationship with
The role of leader did not appeal to me, the only reason why I didn’t look forward to leading was because I didn’t think anyone would follow. Mr. G expressed to me that I needed to take pride in what I do and set the standard for others to follow. I took these words and put them into action with my first step starting with the track team. I quickly began to inspire others to reach beyond their capabilities and perform with maximum effort. The classroom processed the same way, Mr. G made each and everyone of his students give their best efforts on each test we took and our test scores gradually
When I was younger, I always thought being a leader was all about telling people what to do. Glenwood taught me that was not the case at all. Here at Glenwood, I learned to lead by example. I am the battalion commander in our military program. When I teach our new students how to do a certain commander, I demonstrate it. When I have to teach them how to make their own bed I demonstrated it. Lead by example. I as well learned how to control my emotions and when I lead to lead with my head. All leaders are not perfect. It is not the mistakes that show me who I am, but I how I deal with
For many years, I have been told by teachers, family, and friends that I am a good leader. Until fairly recently, I had never truly thought about what it means to be a good leader and just took it as a compliment. Leadership is an intangible concept which cannot be properly outlined in a dictionary, but one which must be formed and explained only through one’s own philosophies and experiences.
