This in turn can increase the creativity and innovation within organizations. As well, individuals from diverse backgrounds are able to provide companies with insight into foreign business practices, translation assistance, and offer detailed information to assist in market penetration. A diverse working team can also improve decision making by providing different perspectives on problems. Individuals embrace working alongside other cultures, as it is a personal learning process that will prove useful in the future.

Leadership development in the military is critical to its mission and objectives. Understanding and embracing leadership will foster an agile culture and facilitate attainment of strategic goals. People desire quality leadership to assist with achieving their goals, albeit personal or professional development. Having a clear vision and the motivation to perform at high-levels influences others to work synergistically together to achieve organizational goals. Insomuch, employees value being treated respectfully, fairly, and ethically. Leaders serve people best when they help them develop their own initiative and good judgment, enable them to grow, and help them become better contributors.

Developing leadership abilities early in my life is vital to becoming the person I aspire to be. Having these kinds of skills is something that can help me become a more effective communicator. Communication is necessary in many careers throughout one’s lifetime. Acquiring attributes of a leader

“Leader involvement in the training process is essential for mission success,” continued Rodriguez. “We want the young noncommissioned officers to get hands-on experience with leading their

Of the attributes and competencies the make up an Army leader, I’ve identified my own growth in the areas of character, intellect, and development through my interactions with my classmates. Although I’ve identified that I’ve changed in these areas, I also recognize

Leadership is showing loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity,and personal courage. For example Dr. Martin Luther king jr is all of these things. He had a direction for the people he wanted to make a change with. Honor could be an important factor in leadership. Showing honor to the people ahead of you or ranks above you. You also need to have respect for the ranks above or below you. When you're a leader respect is what you expect to get out of your troops. You also need to realize that you need to show respect as well. More cadets will appreciate you giving them the same respect they give you. Loyalty as well is important, your team depends on you to lead them. If your loyalty is not with them then chances are they will

I’ve been involved in Boy Scouts since I was in the 6th grade. My leadership abilities, self-discipline, and personality really developed from my Boy Scout career. The Boy Scouts also fueled my passion for the outdoors and exploration. I’ve been camping more times than I can remember and it's truly developed me as a person to love and respect the outdoors. At the age of fourteen, my troop elected me Senior Patrol Leader, the highest position a youth can hold in a troop. I attended N.Y.L.T. (National Youth Leadership Training), a weeklong training seminar that focused on leadership. Attending this training was the single most influential experience because I still refer back to what I learned four years later. The leadership skills I learned

Life is about change and change is what makes you stronger, the experience that prepared me the most for this position is when I began my high school JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) career. Over the summer I had moved from Virginia to Boston and because of the different requirements in each state, I had taken classes earlier at my old school. My new school did not have a band class so instead, I decided to join JROTC as I was unable to do at my old school. When I began the class, I saw that it was a leadership course and the more dedicated students went after school to learn drill and ceremony. These more dedicated students were the ones that had the opportunity to earn higher ranks. As a person, I was always shy so going into

During the first nine years of my military career, I spent the majority of my effort on learning how to fly airplanes and execute missions effectively and efficiently. It was during this time I completed my first two overseas deployments, and the opportunity to lead generally presented itself through one on one encounters with sailors or younger pilots. The only formal leadership training I received was very basic, and did not touch on leadership theory. My introduction to leadership education truly began when I enrolled in the United States Marine Corps Command and Staff College Distance Education Program (USMC CSCDEP). I finished the USMC CSC and began the Master of Arts in Administrative Leadership (MAAL) program shortly after beginning my first true leadership position in the Navy. Assigned as the Assistant Officer in Charge to a forward deployed detachment of C-2 Greyhound aircraft in Atsugi, Japan, I quickly began to apply many of the concepts I studied during CSC. I was very junior in rank to be in an executive leadership position, because our unit was smaller than the others in the Carrier Air Wing. The detachment was part of a larger Air Wing, comprised of six other squadrons, all with Commanders and Executive Officers with a higher rank, and more experience than that of myself and the Officer in Charge of our unit. The Air Wing commander, however, realized that the leadership positions came with the same demands as any other command position, and therefore

Dear, Dr Segal-Argelston and professor Williams, many past experiences I've had with a writing class all pertain to my years in high school. I have had many English classes but very few writing classes. Though I was in an English class most of my time, my class did very little writing. It wasn't until my junior year of high school that I had an actual writing class. This writing class taught me many tips and tricks for writing a good essay. By the end of this class my writing skills were strengthened significantly because I had to write three to four essays a week. A weakness I have related to writing would be trying to bring out my thoughts on a subject and formulate them into a well-rounded sentence. Different parts of the sentence grammatical

There are several important qualities that an individual must possess in order to be an effective leader. The primary skill that I consider the most valuable is the ability to lead by example. This quality was instilled in me from a young age and was further shaped through my training in Taekwon-Do, as it represented one of the core philosophies – “teach attitude and skill with actions rather than words.” Not only is a strong, positive role model for others provided when a superior leads by example, but the leader is also held accountable for his or her own actions. Effective leadership is imperative for a successful USMA cadet and Army officer because the example that his or her peers and subordinates follow is set by that cadet or officer.

One thing I take strongly about being a leader (manager) is confidence in my decision-making and my team’s ability to stand behind me. The military has taught me to think quickly on my feet, identify the situation, evaluate

Leadership? Many individuals will have to lead at least in some point in their lifetime. It is an honor to be a leader and have the opportunity to guide many individuals who look up to to them for guidance and wisdom. In the military, one will have to fill in that leadership role during their career. Leadership is an important value to help succeed in whatever career path they choose to follow. There are many forms of leadership and we will see very great leaders and very bad leaders as well. As individuals we must avoid the bad and non-effective leaderships styles look into the affective leadership styles that will help us succeed in our path. As for myself I consider myself to be more of a transformational leader then a transactional leader. I love motivating others to go past their goals and help

Back in my country, I was really involved in different activities in my high school. I lead a project of volunteer job for a rural area of my country for the whole school year. I learned to work in a relatively big group of 26 people and to organize them and be responsible for assessing their progress weekly. I was also the president of my class, this helped me to develop my public speaking skills, but more important to get to know my classmates better in order to hear and implement their ideas in the classroom. I learned that being a leader is not being authoritarian, but a support to others and at the same time, a way to learn a lot from them. Here at JBU, I have had many opportunities to develop my strengths. Last semester, I had the privilege

My innate abilities, interests and inclination gave me many an achievement and ensured my continued professional growth. At Wipro Technologies, where I started my career, I was initially put to work independently on two products, which later increased to three more. Working on complex tasks and under tight deadlines, I was able to apply my skills to successfully execute every work assigned, as well as learn a lot from the diverse experiences. I worked closely with teammates from diverse cultural backgrounds and utilized every opportunity to acquire knowledge to keep myself updated at all times. I, therefore, took the initiative of conducting knowledge sharing sessions for my team, which later encompassed several other teams, as well.
