Being nominated for the Joanne Woodard Leadership Award has been one of the highlights of my semester thus far. I am truly honored to be nominated for an award that is a demonstration of my ability to lead ethically, serve as a role model, and use my influence to advance African and African American culture on campus. Having held different positions in various campus community centers, my goal is for my leadership style to reflect the missions of the African American Cultural Center, Multicultural Student Affairs, and the Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity.

In modern day times the hero has always been a male, especially during the 12th century where gender stereotypes of men and women greatly existed. At least that’s what we all have been accustomed to believe. Not to mention in movies like Hercules, Twilight, Titanic, and even in Cinderella all men are the heroes of course. However, “Lanval,” a 12th century lay, composed by a woman by the name of Marie De France, during a time when woman did not write or even have rights, contradicts the beliefs of all to prove otherwise. Not always are men “Superior.” Not always is the man the “hero” in the

One of the common things among cultures is myths. Myths are deeply ingrained within the cultures we grow up in. Whether it's Johnny Appleseed in the US or the Talking Foxes of Eritrea. Myths give birth to heroes. And heroes plant different seeds in people depending upon the moral of the story. Such messages are portrayed in Edith Hamilton’s book, “Mythology”, which depicts different heroes with different stories. Heroes are more inspirational when depicted as flawed due to their likability to human beings, thereby being more relatable to common people and spurring confidence that they're just as capable.

As human beings the vast majority of us wish we could change the world, whether that be helping humans, animals, the environment, it is helping those that cannot help themselves. However, we also realize to help with these causes it takes money and for the most part a great deal of it. But, some people are fortunate enough and can help change the lives of many. That is what Ellen DeGeneres has done with her leadership skills, guidance, celebrity status and wealth. Through her kind heart and passion for the social good she does everything she can to make the world a better place. It is true that money can certainly help in spanning social good, however, multiple pennies can also impact those in need. Social good is something that anyone can do. It is not about celebrity status or being a millionaire. Social good is about feeling good about helping others when they are in need. It is about creating a sense of connectedness to humanity and being humble all the while influencing those that follow you. This is what Ellen DeGeneres is all about. This paper will discuss, Ellen 's foundations and charities, how these reflect her personal values and leadership integrity, how her giving enhances her celebrity image and whether her integrity is compatible with her image.

Has the black community ever had a black leader or leaders? In 2015 I feel the black community needs leaders to guide us to a higher place in society in the 2nd millennium. But first the black community need to understand what a true leader is and how to embrace a true leader. Also The Black community has to understand what previous leaders have done for us in the past to continue to push the envelope further for us to have opportunities we have now. 2015 is the year we try to get a council of new leaders to help the black community in areas we are lacking due the fact we are not being well represented in politics and economics.

This connection to being a hero exists because one of the defining characteristics of a “hero” is that they accomplish one or more of their

Everybody has one, and one person’s hero could be another’s everyday person. Thomas A. Barron has this to say, “If heroes show us anything, it’s how to become our best selves.” But when we ask why people become heroic, nobody has an answer. “In short, heroic and egotistical impulses can arrive at the same moment. But can we choose between them?”

I have extensive experience in managing the business operations of an innovative, responsive and award winning not-for-profit organisation, along with a strong interest in sport, recreation and health. My career and qualification history, including working for national and state based sporting organisations along with state and federal government sporting authorities, and a service promoting opportunities in sport and recreation, tourism and the arts for people with a disability has given me a unique insight to the challenges and positive change these areas can create not only at the individual level but also the community at large. Whilst it may seem that my career experience is dominated in the sporting area, I realised early in my career that for the majority of participants the vehicle of sport was used for recreational purposes including creating a sense of belonging and personal wellbeing. My experience in this sector includes the following:

American leaders have a huge role in the United States and the world. American leaders help resolve problems in the United States and set an example to future leaders. The president of the United States is an example of an American leader who helps to successfully run the country. The president and other leaders of America respond quickly and sufficiently to internal and external challenges to the United States of America.

The men were always the hero’s and leaders. My theory is supported by the great man theory where people felt that “it seems as if the right man for the job seems to emerge almost magically to take control of a situation and lead a group of people into safety or success (psychology.about.com).” When you were a child and watched a movie with heroes, the men were the heroes the majority of the time. Men such as Hercules, Cesar, Zeus, Superman, etc., were always “the chosen ones” and were set to save the day. Not only was it seen in movies, in was seen in history too. We have never had a female president. Out of 43 presidents, 0 of them were women. However, you cannot blame mankind for this because of the fact that less then five women have ran for the

This case study is an analysis of leadership as exhibited by Rebecca S. Halstead. The article published at Harvard Business School by Boris Groysberg and Deborah Bell details the traits, motivations and leadership style that Halstead exemplified. Through the analysis of this article I hope to not only document the achievements of Rebecca Halstead but also document and assimilate the leadership lessons imparted by her. An important observation I have made from the progress of time I this course is that study of leadership is synonymous with studying great leaders. The study of science involves experiments & making observations based on results. However, leadership is not an absolute science, there are various approaches. Every leader has a different style & combination of traits. Aspiring leaders & scholars of leadership must find their individual combination to succeed.
