Leadership At Griffith As A Senior Academic

Taken into account all of my leadership experiences throughout my life is undeniably unrealistic, as I have engaged in a plethora of activities during my eighteen years of existence. Having had the opportunity to experience a significant number of leadership roles has helped mold me into the young aspiring pediatric surgeon I am today. Whether, it is being the salutatorian of my graduating class or assisting my classmates during their times of hardships; I have found an appreciation merely for those leadership opportunities. On the other hand, there is one leadership position in particular which I value dearly.

I occupy my time in clubs and activities that both captivate my interest and are most important for my peers and me. These include but are not limited to my positions in Link Crew, Student Council, and Senior Board. They range from Senior Class Representative to Vice President. Many of my teachers and mentors have identified a characteristic of mine as a great leader, and I wanted to improve on these skills. I don't dominate discussion or action, I simply guide it. I take all of my positions seriously and always bring my best attitude; my leadership methods distinguish me from other

Throughout my high school career I have encountered the chance to experience the position of being a leader for my peers. I have pursued leadership skills by being an officer in HOSA for three years, leading community service events for NHS, and taking charge on running school events in Key Club. I have obtained valuable leadership skills throughout my high school career, and encouraged the club members to take charge and develop leadership skills to help them in the future.

1.) Throughout my entire career as a student at Iowa and as a member of Delta Tau Delta (DTD), I have sought out opportunities to better myself as a person and a leader. I have participated in a variety of different leadership academies that were offered through both the University of Iowa and Delta Tau Delta’s national Educational Foundation. I have attended the following leadership programs: FSL’s Emerging Leader Retreat twice, FSL’s Leadership Advance for incoming Chapter Presidents, Leadershape, StrengthsQuest, Student Organization Leadership Institute (SOLI), DTD’s annual Division Conference four times, DTD’s biennial Karnea, and DTD’s premiere leadership institute the Charge. I have served as a leader on campus in many different aspects.

John Maxwell once said, “Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.” His idea is something I have always searched for in leaders I choose to follow. It is some I try to embody myself. The leader I chose to interview is the epitome of Maxwell’s words. Kyleigh Mazer, is a junior at Ball State University. She is 20 years old and is from Floyds Knobs, Indiana. Mazer is studying Entrepreneurial Management with minors in Marketing and Leadership Studies. Involved as a Resident Assistant, Excellence in Leadership (EIL) ambassador, National Residence Hall Honorary inductee and American Marketing Association member, she is making the most of time leaving her footprint on the Ball State

It would appear that my original theory regarding the applicability and practicality of this capstone was accurate. This course has managed to successfully supplement the knowledge I had previously acquired in other courses. For example, I was familiar with and understood the basic principles of leadership. However, this course has taught me that the ability to lead is not an exact science, but an art and determining how to proceed when faced with uncertainty or a highly volatile situation is an exceptional challenge.

Throughout my years of high school, I have demonstrated the leadership, service, and character. Both inside of school and within my community, I have found ways to express these qualities in productive ways. Although I show my qualities in everyday life, my characteristics of leadership and service shine brighter at times. While I am directing the Digital Multimedia Club, I get a chance to utilize my leadership skills to their fullest extent and to improve upon them. While doing volunteer work or other helpful activities, I work hard to serve my community so that I can make it a better place.

To be a scholar and a leader is to be a constant example to those who are around you even when you think no one is watching. In high school, I joined many clubs and eventually took leadership roles in nearly all of them. Despite the responsibilities associated with these roles, I learned true leadership does not need a title. True leadership is how you live your life. Once I understood that, the titles I held had little meaning to me, but rather what I did what the titles became important to me. I acted as a liaison between the administration and student body to improve my school. I used my title to benefit those without a title because I think that is the true reason leaders are needed. Leaders are needed to represent those who cannot represent themselves. Secondly, to be a scholar is to be dedicated to the acquisition of knowledge. The acquisition of knowledge past the GPAs, but rather the true understanding of the material. Far too often, scholarly Cornellians are only worried about their letter grade that they believe determines their future forgetting that the reason we are all here is to learn. When I came to Cornell, I decided that I will learn, not memorize and regurgitate. I decided I would truly broaden my horizons and stimulate my mind in ways I never had before. I am confident that my education will lead to the improvement of others lives in the future. I hope that P3 can be a part of my journey to

After taking the time to read the Leadership Gold book by John Maxwell, I was able to talk with my principal about the different chapters that I found interesting and how they relate to being a leader in a school building. The book was very interesting and insightful. The author shares leadership lessons he experienced firsthand, as well as those pulled from other experts. His 26 “nuggets of gold” address various aspects of leadership, such as developing relationships, nurturing tomorrow’s leaders, and recognizing and responding to “defining moments.” At the end of each chapter, Maxwell offers Application Exercises to show readers how to put the lessons to practical use, and Mentoring Moments to help them teach the principles

There are a number of different leadership roles I have filled in the past and continue many of them still today. All of these have given me opportunities to increase my own professional knowledge and skills as well as the occasion to learn from others in my field.

Leadership appears in an array of forms, whether it be coaching a team, teaching a class, or in our case leading a university. The university administration is in charge of the students in attending that school in many different ways. They have a financial responsibility to the students and the school, as well as a moral obligation with the students to provide the best possible education. There is one issue that regularly occurs during Kutztown University’s spring and fall semesters. Class selection is one of the most stressful time of year for both the students and the faculty. The students are worried about not getting classes they need in order to graduate and the administration is worried about getting enough students to fill every class

Leadership is an essential part of society that is applied in our daily real-life situations. From what I have learned in this course, it is my understanding that leaders are constantly sought after, and leadership is an important service. People in society are constantly searching for attributes that make good leaders and looking for methods of making more effective leaders. This is because leadership is not only applied in our professional lives, but also in our social and personal existence. I have learned that organizations go out of their way to search for leaders that promise improvement and success for them. In most cases, organizations assess attributes that make leaders stand out, including intelligence, integrity,

1. Where do leaders learn to lead? The largest aspect of knowledge for a leader comes from experience. Often leaders will be thrown into a position and learn on the job. While other leaders will only learn as they climb the company ladder. Leaders additionally learn from examples. The examples they learn are from others that have done well in a leadership role; therefore, they will take these examples and apply them to their leadership style. Lastly, leaders learn from books and school. Attending leadership classes at the local university is a great start to acquiring skills to become a leader (p. 6).

My greatest expectation from this class was to be able to develop myself both professionally and personally. Before I ever started taking classes in Leadership Studies, there was so much I didn’t know about myself. I was always shy and thought of myself as more of a follower than a leader. Ever since I started taking these leadership courses, I have learned that I can be both a follower and a leader, depending on the situation. This class, I hoped, would further educate me not only in more about leadership, but more about myself and who I could be. Along with what I’ve learned about myself, in this final reflection paper, I will also explain what really worked for me in this specific course, new knowledge that I have

Razik and Swanson state that now is a time when educational institutions require intelligent, informed, imaginative, creative, and effective leadership (p. 3). I believe that these assets can be
