I Admire My Own Leadership Style

Mother Teresa was a kind, little lady who live selflessly to spread Jesus' love and kindness to the poor and needy. This saint overcame a difficult childhood and decided at a young age to change the world. She worked hard and sacrificed herself to found her own line of nuns and also inspire millions to provide more loving hospitality and care for their neighbor.

Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, Macedonia in 1910. At the age of 18 she joined a group of nuns in Ireland. After months of training with the Sisters of Loreto, she traveled to India. She took her religious

Leaders are someone that can be a positive influence in anyone’s life. Leaders are someone that people look up to and remember that person throughout his or her lives. The leader

Leadership Abilities can have many characteristics and meanings to a person. I took the time to look at characteristics and success of a leader to choose just one of the many leaders to discuss. Some of the characteristics that are involved in leadership is “Responsibility, Learners, share victory, Set an Example, aren’t afraid to make mistakes, push people upward, peacemakers, adapt their thinking, sense of humor, work hard, confident, promote unity, action-oriented, do the right thing, integrity, encourage, persevere, and courageous” (James River Church, 2017). One Leader that shows these characteristics is Mother Teresa.

Martin Luther King, Florence Nightingale, Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks. These are all leaders the United States population has followed in the past. Being a leader does not mean you must be known by the world, but it does require certain characteristics. Leadership qualities include focusing on the future to see a change, bringing possibilities to a negative situation, adapting oneself based on the environment, and communicating effectively. Throughout my work experience I have seen leader qualities in different people and situations. Leading in the nursing or healthcare field can be challenging as it is often the patient's life on the line. As a leader, it is important to be able to differentiate between being a

There are leaders and there are followers in life, a great example of a leader would be my Fire Chief Kenneth Everett. To be a leader you have to have many skills that set you apart from being someone that follows. You have to be able to talk to anyone on the department and know how they react to certain ways you talk to them. A Chief should be able to motivate anyone to want to continue doing something whether you just walked out of the roughest call you have ever been on or you have just lost interest in the Fire Department all together. You also have to be able to handle a large group or even a small group in some of the toughest environments.

A good leader is someone who puts others before him or her, someone who cares about people and someone who does not give up easily. This is what being a leader means to me and I believe that I have all of these characteristics. When I am at school, I tend to help my friends and peers more than I help myself and I take pride in knowing that they are getting the help they need to succeed. I care about how well people do in school and I really want them to be happy and satisfied with their hard work. If I see someone struggling I know that it is my duty to assist them. When I do assist people, some of them do not grasp the lesson immediately and it takes time to get the to understand but I do not want to give up on them because it is taking too

Teresa Sánchez Cepeda Davila y Ahumada lived in Avila, Spain where she was born in 1515 and lived during the Reformation until her death at age 67. She was canonized in 1622, forty years after her death. St. Teresa's grandmother was forced to be converted from a Jew into a Christian during the Inquisition. Without her

Throughout my life I have encountered many great leaders and they have all impacted me in their own way. One leader in particular led by example, respected everyone, and always wanted what was best for the team. This person was Taryn Barz.

Saint Teresa of Avila, named Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada, was born on March 28, 1515, in Avila, Spain. Teresa’s mother, Beatriz de Ahumada y Cuevas, passed away around 1529―leaving ten children―and Teresa’s father, Alonso Sánchez de Cepeda, was a strict man. There are few stories on Teresa’s childhood, many of them based on her getting

From St. Catherine of Siena, we can learn that no matter the situation we should still care and assist others. Throughout her lifetime, Catherine was constantlyserving others. Many people say that sinners whom meet her couldn’t ignore or resist her holiness; not one who met her did not convert. She worked constantly to relieve the sufferers of the plague, even burying them with her own hands. This saint is a very admirable person in my eyes and I believe we can all learn something from

Teresa's standing does not consist in what she tells us about herself but in what she tells us about God and his ways with us. Her life and her accomplishments have earned her many labels, reformer, author, foundress, doctor of the church and saint and these, together with her persona have made her one of the great women of all ages. She was born, bred and lived during the most harrowing period in the history of Roman Catholicism, the age of Reformation and Counter-Reformation. When Teresa was possibly two in 1517, somewhere in the north of Germany, a man by the name of Martin Luther was calling for reform in the Catholic Church. At that time, nobody would have guessed or known that this two year old would one day contribute to turn the tides of the Catholic Reformation, pointing the way from outer chaos to inner peace.

These people were mistreated and seen as less than humans, if even their shadow touched you, you would need to wash yourself. The “untouchables” didn’t have a choice with being labeled with this harsh statement. Mother Teresa still took the time to help them even though mostly everyone saw them as nothing (www.timesunion.com) and

Although when she was young, she ran away from home to be with a church and become a Catholic. She joined the sisters of Loreto, an Irish Catholic order for nun in 1928. Also in 1979 she won the “Peace Nobel prize”. She would give up all of her possessions to live with the poor and she did.

“Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours, yours are the eyes through which to look out Christ's compassion to the world, yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good; Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now.” these words of St. Teresa of Avila display how God chooses certain people to be present as a replication of how he would live. Teresa of Avila was born on March 28, 1515 in Spain, and raised Christian by her mother, Beatriz de Ahumada, and father, Alonso Sánchez. At a young age, Teresa's mother died causing her to be grief stricken and caused her to embrace a devotion towards the Virgin Mother Mary, where she pursued an interest in becoming a nun.
