Leadership Accomplishment

Campers live in cabins with no air conditioning and no electronic devices, excluding fans and camp iPods for each cabin. This allows the girls to focus on their surrounding and to be truly present in each moment. We are disconnected from the rest of the world for four weeks. Our only communication with the outside world is mail. Getting the chance to escape our hectic lives to a beautiful mountain retreat is a wonderful blessing. I feel closer to God than ever. On Sundays we have a church service and each girl walks away with pages full of wonderful notes.

Leadership is a process of social influence, which maximizes the efforts of others, towards the achievement of a goal. The article “Leadership That Gets Results” by Daniel Goleman is an article that helps readers understand that there is not only one way of becoming a successful leader. Research indicates that leaders with best results do not rely on only one leadership style. Goleman, describes leaderships styles as array of clubs in a golf pro’s bag. Over the course of the game, the pro picks clubs based on the demands of the shot. Thinking is involved during the selection, but usually it is automatic. The pro is aware of the challenge ahead, quickly utilizes the right tool, and puts it to work. It has also been found that emotional intelligence

The book, “Remarkable Leadership”, is significant in our leadership discussion because its main focus is on bringing out the leader quality in all of us. The book’s premises rest on the belief that leaders maybe born but they can also be developed, thus leadership is learnt. The author draws reference on the fact that we are all born with some sort of talent/gift or we may have an interest in something that needs to be developed through training. The critical concepts in the books discuss the qualities and roles that leader should possess, which include being; an advocate for change, an effective communicator, a teacher/mentor, develop necessary relationship, being an innovator, know the importance of teamwork, and one who values learning continuously.

The first comment before the article starts is vastly important. Most effective leaders use a variety of leadership styles in order to achieve maximum performance from organizations, teams, and individuals. The ability to act as a chameleon as a leader has huge benefits and allows you to tackle many different types of leadership situations. In order to achieve the best results a leader must be able to use many different leadership styles to accomplish their organizations goals.

There are many ways to define leadership, but perhaps the most laconic as well as accurate definition is presented in Peter G. Northouse's Leadership: Theory and Practice book (Northouse, 2013, p.5): "Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal". Individuals, engaged in leadership, use influence to solve challenges, which the groups under their leadership face, in order to succeed in their common goals.

A leader takes diligent time in considering the ability to adhere to other people’s interests and presents their followers with a positive mindset. This summer, I accepted an invitation to participate in the Dale Carnegie Young Adult Leadership Program. Attendees of this program learned several skills that can be applied to future experiences, especially on how to become an effective leader. Everyday, the attendees acted as leaders by accomplishing various tasks that forced them to reach out of their comfort zones. We acted as leaders by leading group

Before I became a camp counselor, I attended counselor training for a few days. During these days we discussed how to deal with children that became homesick, upset, or angry. We talked about how to show kids how to be comfortable talking to God and praying. Since this was a church camp we discussed how we would teach the bible study every day of the week we counseled. After the training week I had to prepare many things on my own. I prepared games and crafts for my cabin of girls to participate in. I prepared myself mentally for the task I was about to attempt to complete. The day before the camp week started I arrived at the cabin to make it as comfortable and welcoming as it could be for the eight girls that would arrive the next day. My

After working with Peace Corps over the period of two years in high school from 2011-2013, where I initiated and facilitated two 5-day-self-empowerement leadership camps for 50 campers each to exemplify leadership skills. I mentored the campers about the goals and individual leadership skills to help them understand the process of the camp and how to identify and prevent negative peer pressure. I acted as a bridge between campers and Peace Corps Volunteers by providing both parties with cultural understanding of each other. The experience of public speaking, writing and communication skills and the connection made through this process helped me to stand out in 50 students from

I became involved in camp counseling three years ago after joining my local 4-H and Federation clubs, both of which have presented me with exceptional opportunities to become involved in my community. I had two main motives for joining these clubs: to become a more outgoing and profound leader, and to give back to those who have helped me

As a Junior Counselor at Camp Graham Girl Scouts Camp I watched after all of the kids, planned fun academically charged events, and made sure everything ran smoothly. This organization gives strong leadership characteristics and other vital skills to young girls of all ages. It also provides positive role models for them to aspire to become. After attending Camp Graham for my summers as a kid, I looked up to the counselors and someday dreamed of becoming one. This dream became a reality this summer. From this inspirational life changing experience I learned how to be fun, how to be a leader, and most of all; I learned how to be a role model for children to strive to one day be like. I helped mold young girls love for reading, STEM, and other

For this essay, I could simply give you a laundry list. I could tell you how I have exemplified leadership by being assistant concertmaster for EMU’s Youth Symphony or by being co-captain of my high school soccer team. I could show you how I have demonstrated perseverance by continually trying my hardest to excel in school or how I have have shown persistence by refusing to walk away when a program for my Engineering project would not work or how I still play the violin and sing even after not getting into states for both. I could even tell you about my service to my church by playing violin twice a month on the worship team or loving on special needs kids through Young Life’s Capernaum. Yet again, I could tell you about my innovative work with Woodrow Workforce and Rehabilitation Center and my creation of an assistive wheelchair sensor to help patients with visual neglect at the facility. But I do not want to simply spit out information like this.

Employees often make comments about their managers or supervisors. Some people feel like they have the best managers, while others feel like they have the worst managers. Managing individuals is not easy, and there is no handbook or novel out there, to teach you how to do it just right. Being a manager is difficult, and being a good manager can be even harder. This paper will discuss the characteristics and behaviors of a peer manager that has influenced my leadership. It will examine my observations of the individual and the impact that it has had on me.

“What do effective leaders do to remain effective?” was a question that I proposed to my Leadership Application Program Speakers Round Table Class. In response I received a number of answers from personality traits to emotional intelligence. Leadership is a word that can be defined in many different ways. In the article “Leadership That Gets Results” they take the time and breakdown the six different steps of leadership, the six styles are coercive, authoritative, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting and coaching. The late David McClelland, a noted Harvard University psychologist, found that leaders with strengths in a critical mass of six or more emotional intelligence
