ECU Leadership Experience Paper

I am fortunate to have had past leaders mentor me and set the example on how to take

We are not inborn with the leadership trait. The function of leadership is to make the business a success. It is not the exclusively the playing field of senior managers. Managers and employees alike are required to be the bridge between the customer and the vision of Wells Fargo. Leadership is the act of sharing and communicating a vision of the future and the motivation of others to believe in, and align with that vision. Leaders are accountable for failures as well as manager. They give others the opportunity to be responsible. A first-rate leader will inspire a group to be

Being a leader has always been extremely important to me. The past few years I have held many leadership positions to deepen my skills as a leader. Some of my most notable leadership positions of high school were that I was the secretary of my class, the secretary of my school’s National Honor Society, a member of the Youth Council for the Teen Leadership Corps, and a Student Ambassador for my high school. I have recently been chosen as a Peer Leader for the College of Business Administration (CBA), meaning that I will be available to help incoming freshman with whatever they may need as they make the transition to college. I was also chosen by the dean to give a speech at one of the largest high school visits for the CBA in order to inspire students to choose to come to Bowling Green. This was a very important experience for me because I had many high school seniors come up to me after the speech and ask me questions and reached out for advice from me. It is important to me that people value my advice because I believe that giving good advice is an imperative part of being a leader.

Every person has some kind of good and evil traits within their personality, but what really defines good and evil? People from different cultures could consider different traits to be “good” or “evil” or even a little of both. There are times in life where a person has to make certain choices that could be interoperated both ways. In this paper, I will be analyzing different characters in the story “The Good Women of Suzutan” and what type of role each personality plays within the story in order to give the audience a chance to come up with their own ending.

George W. Carver was best known in his time as a man of faith who believes in God as science as a gift from God. He would constantly acknowledge that his work was inspired by the works of God and God’s inspiring, and guiding him in his work. When those who wanted things from Carver such as his secrets without the desire to work for the knowledge, Carvers replay would be, ‘God refuses to reveal the secrets of the humankind and the universe.

Due to recent changes in law I believe there is a visible shift to the adaptability culture, where Hospital A and other similar organizations are less focused on things like awards, or titles but are focusing more on the multitude of customer feedback. Many hospitals have started providing their patients with surveys that then directly relate back to changes that are implemented. At times the result of the surveys directly affected the amount and type of pay the organization could receive from government sources. This allows the organization to adapt to the needs of the external environment. This type of organization has in a small way always used the adaptability culture due to the fast response and high-risk decision making model that is the bases for the organization, however some organizations are failing to meet the changing expectations from patients and are therefore loosing profits and finding hard finical times.

Ronald Reagan once said, “the greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things, he is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” This quote by our past president, Ronald Reagan, relates to my experiences with leadership. Throughout high school I experienced democratic leadership though playing sports like field hockey and track. I have also experienced leadership during small group projects, as well as being a leader of an organization on a college campus. Through all of these experiences, I have learned essential characteristics and qualities to becoming a good leader. I have also had negative experiences with leadership that have taught me things not to do as a leader. I

Throughout high school, I participated in many leadership activities. I served as the president of the National Homeschool Honor Society, which involved organizing meetings community service projects. I taught a class of twenty preschoolers at my church for two years. Even simply hosting Bible studies has involved a lot of planning and leadership. All of these opportunities have shown me that a good leader not only instructs people on what to do, but they also listen to the people they are leading. A good leader needs equal amounts of passion, patience, confidence, and integrity.

Leadership is essential to the growth and facilitation of any organization. At the University Eye Clinic (UEC), leadership drives the organization to function and maintain its policies, vision, and mission of the agency. In Effective Leadership Masterclass, Adair states, "the word leader has developed from the root meaning of a path, road, or course of a ship” (1997). This means having leadership is the path that brings a community practice and organization together. Leadership is rooted in teamwork and a shared common goal between members of a team.

Leadership perspectives are very important when making decisions and strategies. A leader that only sees information on one side does not have the grasp on a situation. A leadership perspective such as understanding that there are more than one way to see things and it does not have to be what you see is what you get as a leader. When a leader uses their surrounding and employees the perspective may change and rather than seeing one side they see a variety.

Becoming an effective leader is a lot like being in the stock market. You don’t make your fortune in a day; you make it daily, a little bit at a time. What matters most is what you do day after day, over the long haul. The secret to leadership success is investing in your leadership development, much like letting your assets compound. The final result is “Leadership Growth” over time. Leaders aren’t born; their made. The process of leadership is long, complicated and has made elements. Respect, dignity, discipline, people skills, vision, emotional strength, opportunity, preparedness and experience are just some of

The University of Arizona offers many different leadership programs, such as the Blue Chip Leadership Experience, National Collegiate Leadership Conference, and Southwest Leadership Program along with many more. The one I would like to focus on is the Blue Chip Leadership Experience because I found that to be the most interesting. One can join this leadership group in your first year of attending even as a transfer student. So this helps get you involved with your peers and campus along with make tons of new friends.

One of my personal experiences that has developed my leadership skills was when I was a mentor to young children during Sunday school throughout the duration of my high school career. Mentoring these children has given me a vast amount of great leadership qualities due to all of the responsibilities that come with looking after young children which gave me practice of looking after people like nurses do. There was diversity throughout the Sunday school class as well, not by varying religion, but due to the dissimilar backgrounds of children who came

When taking the two leadership surveys, it was interesting to see my personal leadership profile. My leadership style according to the survey is the instructional type, which in another world is direct leadership. My culture, upbringing, and work environment have transformed me to be direct leaders that are looking for stability. My staff members sadly do not have the opportunity to have a job that is autonomy; working in a manufacturing occupation, one has an organize agenda that cannot be deviated from the task ahead. When team members are needing help or trying to build the familiarity to run their equipment my personal leadership profile can be helpful, since being direct is a starting point to build knowledge. The more one individual shows knowledge, familiar, and passionate for their own results, the further laissez-faire I will become when proving they

Although I am in the process of becoming a good leader myself, I would also like to help those who look up to me become good leaders as well. I do attain most traits of those of a good leader but that doesn’t automatically mean I am a good leader. Another contributing factor to becoming a leader is time. My father did not become a good leader overnight and neither will I. It may take months or maybe even years but waiting is something one must be willing to
