Folsom: An Example Of A True Leader

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others” according to Bill Gates, while John Maxwell tells people that “Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.” Neither of them completely capture leadership, but at the same time, neither of them are wrong. To be a leader, one must empower and influence those they lead in order to get the results they want. Neither one mentions that a leader must be confident in themselves and show others that they are confident with the decisions they make for themselves and others. As president of the Italian National Honor Society at my school, it is my job to promote excellence in the course, as well as in the community. Since our society values giving back to the community, we put an emphasis on community service. Many of the other students in the society worried about completing their hours. I showed them that they did not need to worry about getting their service hours by completing all of my required hours for both National and Italian Honor Societies before the end of November.

As a leader, I try to inspire and have an influence on people. I see leadership as a responsibility to be a good role model for others. Therefore, from the people I have interacted with, I make sure no one is afraid to say or give an opinion on something and I’m there to listen. For example, in National Honor Society we learn the principles which are scholarship, service, character and most importantly, leadership. As the Vice President of National Honor Society, I have hope for success in each member. This year the president and I have teamed up to create new opportunities for all of the members of National Honor Society to contribute to our community. Not only do they lend a hand, but they are also willing to come up with new ideas to help,

Being an effective leader is not something easy to achieve, it requires a lot, from discipline to various qualities, when electors vote for their head of state, they try to choose among the candidates a good leader. Yet sometimes, we find ourselves choosing the lesser evil especially in today world where corruption reached highs and lobbyism is more rampant than ever but there was an ethical and scandal less candidate, that almost made it to the white house, a true inspiring leader and his name is Bernie Sanders.

Kat is very resourceful because he is always keeping the group’s spirits up and getting them materials to make their lives easier.As the group walked to the cook-house and Kat said”Say Heinrich, open up the soup kitchen.Anyone can see the beans are done”(Remarque 4). Katczinsky is trying to get the beans early so that his squad can eat and survive.

In the schools and also the community we need more leaders. Being a freshman of Lower Richland High school, I want to see students demonstrating more leadership. Often, I see student afraid to say no to peer pressure from other students. I want to see students leading by example. We need more leaders in this community, and less followers. In this essay I will discuss characteristic that describe a good leader, and what I want to see change in my community. .

I am dedicated and committed to moving our community and our country in a directions that embraces and celebrates our differences. I want to be a part of the changes that create a healthier future for our children. I want a stronger economy that doesn't compromise the health of our planet. As your E-Board rep and delegate, I will work hard to get lawmakers to enact policites with these values. I will fight for Tulare

I have found that by getting the community involved the chances of success are much greater and, so, there must be a course of action by which the constituents are persistently and actively involved with the process of ensuring a better quality of life for us all within District 17. Once the constituents become involved, it would be up to me as council members to enact, fund, oversee and make sure that these innovative solutions are integral to the district. I have also found that another key factor for success are arranging partnerships and having active and consistent relationships with community organizations, government entities, and businesses. I will focus on safeguarding affordable housing for District 17 residents by preventing displacement of our residents and the preserving the district 17 community through the budgetary arm and legislative body of the City Council. We also need to have quality education for our children, who at the present, are not getting their needs met as they are in schools that are mostly underfunded and under-resourced. I will spotlight ground-breaking programs and solutions to lessen this disparity. We need to create jobs within our district. My focus will be, among other things to initiate policies for servicing and training of the unemployed to a greater extent. Seniors are not getting their needs met; especially with regard to health. My focus here will be to make the health care policy makers aware of the disparities, make policy changes, preserve Medicare, and expand health insurance coverage. Finally, a safer community is what we need. I will center my attention on initiatives to reduce crime, implement a proper crime fighting budget, and rebuild a successful police/community

What appeared most interesting was the lack of public peoples present, especially in an environment where they may have the greatest influence on public policy. In this present age, where political polarization is only growing, one would expect a greater public presence at the assembling of local governing bodies. Perhaps it is because people are too lazy, do not care, or think that their voice does not matter; at times a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whatever the case, if Americans wish for any type of favorable change to occur in their Governing bodies they must inform and involve themselves to champion said

From the voters turning out in elections, to the grassroots movements inspiring the nation, all the way to news media reports, it is clear: the efforts of citizens to stay active in our political system are essential to facilitating progress in our

Not only that, but I continued with my idealistic approach, it’s not that my opponent was anyway wrong to campaign his way, but there clearly two distinct styles being shown. Truly, it wasn’t to just set myself apart, but for so long I’ve been afraid to be a “true” leader and come out of my shell. By the same token, a long held vision I’ve had is to become someone remembered in this world through politics, to win the hearts of people and truly make an impact that’s lasting. Given that it seems my previous words have contradicted themselves time and again in relation to said dream, I decided it was finally time to break away from the “feigned” role of leader and into a true person that sets their own path. Beginning with my decision to not follow my friend’s advice on campaigning, for I’d forge my own way and what I wanted to do in the future in politics which is a more charismatic and idealistic approach built on very informative, yet general talks with the voters without a central focus, but a grand

Hmmmm. Now I'm stumped, Not sure you saw the "It's time end Folsom's career politicians" portion of my campaign. I ran for city council as the "fresh face" to end politics as usual. I'll introduce myself to you. I'm Roger Gaylord, 23 year Folsom resident. graduate of Folsom High, entrepreneur, father of two and have dedicated a lot of time and personal money (I'm self funded) taking on the status quo in Folsom. I'm against politics as usual, out side influences, bought and paid for council members and the city mayor ant rotation of council seats. I live by the motto "absolute power corrupts absolutely." I'm always available for coffee or a pint to discuss anything Folsom. Feel free to run through my page to get real idea of how I'm not the

What is it exactly that makes a good leader? Is it something as simple as respecting others? A good leader not only treats people with respect, but they are influential, and people actually want to follow them or have them as their leader. Bobbie Jo Metcalf Halbert is the first person that comes to mind when I think of a leader. She does anything she can to help somebody else, she influences people to be better, and she is a very responsible person.

I knew that I wanted to go beyond core science classes in a way in which I could share and build upon my experiences in Southwest Virginia. Thus, I am pursuing a minor in Leadership and Social Change at Virginia Tech. This minor has given me the opportunity to study theoretical leadership while developing and implementing a working leadership philosophy. In addition, the courses have allowed me to explore humanities focused on an agenda for social change through studying expressive forms. These courses have presented texts embedded in historical contexts, systems of power, and socioeconomic disparities which have allowed me to craft and communicate critical arguments based on evidence from varied sources with multiple complicated points of view. As I have explored a diverse curriculum, I have come to the daunting realization that not everyone is granted their due humanity in

The smallest action can make the biggest difference. I will be the first to admit I’m not outspoken, I tend to listen instead. But in order to be a good a leader you do not have to be outspoken, you must listen and speak, take action and rest. I learned that through many clubs but the most definitive moment of leadership I had was with the Lupus Walk. My FIRST robotics team had decided they needed more community outreach and since I was the nemo, the officer in charge of awards, paperwork and community outreach, I was the one to choose. At the time one of my family members was in poor health due to Lupus but she still held hope. Her strength is the reason I created the Lupus Awareness Walk in New Hampshire. I proposed this idea to my fellow

In the movie Inequality for All, Robert Reich stated, “you don't necessarily need to be elected president of the United States or be a secretary of labor to have a huge impact. You can be a leader” (Kornbluth, n.d.). For me, this piece of advice was very inspiring. This statement alone is very important to me, as it is something I will continue to use as I journey into my career and life itself. It’s important for people to understand the impact that a single act can have as something so small to one person can make a world of difference to another. Being a leader is so much more then "a title" that one carries. Also, the statement “…I do believe absolutely that most of the return that's being created isn't creating any kind of social utility
