Examples Of An Interview With Rick Weintraub

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.

Hello viewers. Today we'll be interviewing Brian Robeson. Brian Robeson survived 54 days out in the wilderness by himself without any help or anyone. It all started when Brian Robeson was on a plane ride heading towards the oil fields of northern Canada where he was supposed to meet his father. Along the way the pilot had a heart attack forcing Brian Robeson to find a spot to crash. Alejandro Requenes will now ask what happened afterwards.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Justin Robison, Controller and CFO for The Housing Trust in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Housing Trust is a non-profit agency who helps people in northern New Mexico locate affordable housing. This assistance is provided to low and moderate income level families. The Housing Trust also builds energy efficient, affordable homes for low income families. Justin has been in the financial sector as an Investment Analyst and a Financial Analyst. He earned his MBA at the University of New Mexico. Justin’s leadership style has developed from experience and education, but he appears to still be in the process of really finding what style works best for him. Justin had an insightful view of what defines leadership, what helps motivate his followers, and what makes a good follower.

For the answers to my questions from my unit 3 assignment, I interviewed my administrator Robert Stofer of Salisbury Nursing and Rehabilitation Center where I am employed.

The term “Culture" can have many varying meanings, traditionally, it is thought of as the shared beliefs, traditions, religious practices and values of an ethnic group; or the beliefs, customs, practices, and social behavior of a particular nation or people. Culture can also be defined as people with shared beliefs and practices: or a group of people whose shared beliefs and practices identify the particular place, class, or time (era) to which they belong. It can also be defined as the shared attitudes or particular set of attitudes that can characterize an ethnic or religious group of people. Culture is also art, music,

Impact of Interview on Instructional Leadership Style: After interviewing Holt, I realize I have a long way to go to be where she is in regards to instructional leadership at an elementary school level. Most of my background is secondary, and it’s a whole different ball game at the secondary level. However, the principles are the same. Administrators need to know what is going on in the classrooms and that happens by jumping in and working alongside your colleagues. The instructional leader of the school should not require anything the leader is not willing to do themselves. I need to be in the classrooms demonstrating appropriate instructional strategies. “You can’t lead where you won’t go!” I believe the leader must state expectations explicitly including, working together as a team, share my “craft knowledge” with colleagues, and help my teachers any way I can. If I can build trust, be generous and helpful as the instructional leader with teachers, then that enrichment will carryover into relationships between teachers and students, and students and students. I like Holts attention to detail in having her teachers sit down with each child before SAGE testing to discuss the data specific to the child, it gives the child direction and purpose enabling them to be successful on

I make a difference at Thornburg Middle School through my friends and fellow classmates.  I help by answering questions for my classmates if needed to.  I also ask multiple questions in class and, I try to be a role model while helping students in my classes and around the school.

Identify and describe a leadership responsibility that you have held. What did you learn from the experience? What made the experience meaningful?

For the last interview, I thought I would keep the questions short and sweet. I asked a series of ten questions, five in which are simple yes and no questions. The first question referred back to unit eleven and is actually the first question asked about The Once and Future King. The question I asked was what traits and/or characteristics do you posses that are important for the exercise of leadership? This question caught my eye because as a leader it is good to ask yourself evaluating question such as this one to continue developing as a leader. Peggy answered by saying, “Most important characteristics are motivation and persistence. Keeping staff motivated by remaining positive to me is key.” The next question is also based off of the

I do not have anyone in my life who I would consider to be a good leader. I have many that try to be, but in my opinion but aren't. Instead, I have decided to write about Coach Boone from the Great Titans. One clear time when he was a leader that stands out to me is when he gave a moving speech to his team at the Gettysburg memorial site. He talked about their team is facing most of the struggles that were faced in that civil war. The main one being the reason the thought process behind slavery, the conflict between black and white people. One thing I admired in him as a leader at this point was the fact that he had a strong message to send to his players and a strong delivery. I feel one of the most important qualities of a leader is the

As a successful Fortune Fifty company, Lowe’s depends on great leaders to help the organization achieve its financial and organizational goals, motivate its extensive workforce, and build a culture where employees share and cultivate the purpose of the organization. While many great leaders, including Wheatley, Cashman, Peters, and others have written on the subject of leadership, the success of Lowe’s Companies has demonstrated that since 1946, it has been the home of many great leaders. By interviewing recognized leaders in key positions at Lowe’s, I hope to learn several valuable aspects of effective leadership, which I plan to incorporate in my personal leadership style.

I truly enjoyed reading the material for this week 's discussion. I found it fascinating to read how these people of passion were so revered as leaders. Something I found difficult while reading the stories of these various leaders was the details of what they did within their respective industries that made them successful. Although I recognize the importance of the details, I found myself continually fanaticizing about how the many different approaches would directly translate to the fire service. Because of the uniqueness of the fire service as an industry, I found it easier to relate to themes and concepts rather than the details. 'Strengths Based Leadership ' by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie For example Simon Cooper stated: "people create memories, not things. If we ask guests what color the carpet was in their guest room, they probably won 't know. The real value comes from the ladies and gentlemen (employees) who bring that hotel to life. Ten percent is the platform, but the rest is people. (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 43) As I read this I couldn 't help but think of the fact that our customers in the emergency response world (fire service) likely remember more about how we treat them than what uniform we wear or what kind of apparatus we arrive in, so long as we bring true caring and compassion to their bedside. In addition Cooper 's people over platform approach was obvious in this Rath & Conchie description: "then when he talked of the night-and-day difference that a

I really enjoyed executing this interview. It was a privilege to be able to include my interviewee in my assignment, as he has been supporting my decision to further my education and proceed with my calling through Christ. Bill Kidd has been an associate pastor for over 7 years at Bethel Baptist Church. Pastor Kidd was in school at the same time as myself and we always were able to connect and relate to each other whenever we got together at meetings or other gatherings. I look up to and respect his achievement in ministry and I am looking forward to learning from him as I pursue my role in ministry.

1 I would definitely describe Greg Mortenson as an “Authentic Leader”. In our text authentic leadership is described as a type of leadership that can be nurtured, and develops over a lifetime, can be triggered by major life events, and that a leader’s behavior is grounded in strong ethics. The definition continues on to say that there are four authentic leadership components: Self-awareness, Internalized moral perspective, meaning knows the right thing to do and is driven by ethics and fairness, balanced processing, meaning they are fair minded and open to others, and they possess relational transparency, meaning they are honest and
