Leadership Experience-Describe your leadership experiences. Please include organization information, your roles, and length of service. Please limit your response to 3000 characters (~500 words). In the past couple years, I’ve had multiple leadership positions with the Boy Scouts of America; each one teaching me valuable lessons about being a leader and about life. The most recent one would be serving on the Grand Canyon council as a National Eagle Scout Association and an alumni representative. I’ve been on each of these for four years now. For the N.E.S.A. (National Eagle Scout Association) my role was to help retain new Eagle Scout to stay active with scouting and not just be done. The way I accomplished this was by putting together service events and had them help organize certain parts of it and act as team leaders as well. After each event, we would meet together and discuss what went well and what didn’t go well and what we can do to improve for the next project we would do. With the alumni committee, I am one of the founding members of it for the council. My role with them was more with working with the venturing scout relations of the committee and also in charge of the scholarship board that we put together. In the alumni committee, I would help recruit older venturing scouts (formerly known as explorers) to join the association. One of the ways I would help recruit people to the association was by inviting them to service project and to the meetings we had
I believe that my past personal and professional leadership experiences make me a quality candidate for this position because I have 8 years of experience working in an elementary school as a 6,7, and 8th-grade teacher and 2 years of experience working as English Learner (EL) Program Lead in a high school setting. These experiences have afforded me the opportunity to take on many leadership roles. For example, that of instructional leader and coach, science department chair, English Language Learner department chair, English language learner program lead teacher (ELPT), test coordinator, and facilitated scheduling and programming of EL students, MTSS coordinator, and a union delegate.
I recently completed my Eagle Scout rank, achieving the highest honor in Boy Scouts, and I am also a brotherhood member of scouting's honor society, the Order of the Arrow. I served a six month term as Senior Patrol Leader, the most senior scout leader within my troop, as well as serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader for one term. Before that, I did three six month terms as Troop Guide, a position in which I acclimated first year scouts to the troop, teaching them the ways of scouting. My experience in Boy Scouts has presented an abundance of opportunities for me to develop my leadership skills, giving me a competitive advantage over other candidates.
Leadership is summarized as ‘the process in which an individual impacts a variety of individuals to attain a common goal’. The goal is attained by mutual collaboration and cohesive behavior. A leader infuses a sense of positivity and manages others to reach a specified goal. Leadership has had a very profound influence throughout my life by affecting my family, friends, teammates, and the overall decisions that I have made. By using my personal experiences with leadership, I have learned how to use these skills not only on the field, but throughout my everyday actions.
Being an older sister, friend, and active student in and out of the classroom, I’ve oftentimes been the person that others look up to for advice or ideas. One specific area that I am a leader in is the Cherokee Art Club. This year I was named group leader, which is a person that guides fellow club members by giving them directions, providing support and encouragement, and making sure that everything is going as planned. I was appointed to this position because of my dedication and effective leadership skills last year. Because of all the clubs and activities I’ve been apart of, I became a very confident and effective leader. Even though it wasn’t an easy feat, it is extremely valuable thing to offer to the world and to the National Honor
One past event I would say that the greatest experiences of my role in a leadership position came when I was in athletics in high school. This is where I learned that each individual needs to be led in a different way for them to reach their full
The leadership positions that I hold include being a captain of the football team, a co-chair of the National Honor Society, and a co-chair for the Black Awareness Society for Education. Holding these positions has been both a honor and a struggle. Having so many responsibilities at the same time was a daunting task at first, but as the years progressed, I became more and more accustomed to the task.

The most influential leadership experience that I participated in was being on the Riverbend Retreat Camp Program Team. The Program Team was established to promote team spirit for kids at camp by leading music, team games, and team cheers. The Program Team’s goal was to inspire kids to pour their hearts into everything that they did. For the first couple of days, I lived and breathed team spirit. I was a green team leader; therefore, I was dressed in all green clothes, covered in green face paint, and I even wore a green tutu the size of a barrel. I shouted team chants whenever I had the chance, I slapped high-fives to the kids on my team, and I led
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

The purpose of this personal assessment is to devalue an incident in which I believe I performed my very best, within my leadership capability, according to organizational policies, and lawful regulatory compliance while protecting cultural competence and our organization from any legal repercussions. Business environment will continue evolve and it is pivotal to the success of the organization that all potential leaders acquire the fundamentals of understanding human behaviors within a multicultural atmosphere. Different situations will arise in which leadership will need to focus on the many aspects of one’s personal beliefs, culture as a whole, and productivity at the least. What is evident is the diversity within
When reflecting on my experience as both a student and a life learner, I never would have considered myself a leader. In fact, I have always been the shy kid who hides in the back of the class and panics whenever it is their turn to respond to a question. College however provided me with an opportunity to develop myself as a leader. I became more active in school activities and actively sought out leadership roles. As I’ve progressed in my professional life, I’ve become more interested in what it takes to make a strong leader. When assuming leadership roles, I’ve always considered myself an authentic leader but I know I’ve often struggled in detailing clear goals for my group or organization.
