Leadership Reflection Paper

Every person has some kind of good and evil traits within their personality, but what really defines good and evil? People from different cultures could consider different traits to be “good” or “evil” or even a little of both. There are times in life where a person has to make certain choices that could be interoperated both ways. In this paper, I will be analyzing different characters in the story “The Good Women of Suzutan” and what type of role each personality plays within the story in order to give the audience a chance to come up with their own ending.

Participate in a leadership weekend is one of my passion to travel the world to experience the many people with whom I share this planet. My travels will help me understand the needs of different cultures and raise my awareness of various ways to engage communities. Another reason why I wish to attend in this Leadership Weekend is I see this will provide me very essential opportunity to expand and build my communication, confidence skills by interact with other people. As matter of fact, one of my future goal or dream is to sever my native country (Tibet), which is occupied by China government right now and people are suffering not having freedom of speech, freedom of religious and my younger fellow Tibetan brothers and sisters not getting equal right accessing model educations, which cause

Goal Two: Find staff who are providing exceptional care to patients and publicly recognizing one person per week by placing a note on the staff bulletin board stating who was “Caught Being AWESOME!”.

The project I chose to demonstrate my leadership on was to go around the Frostburg community picking up recycling and then dumping it in a local landfill. I first chose this project to work on because I thought, how could I help Frostburg and give back to the community? By recycling products and going green, these products can eventually be reprocessed and re-used without having it go to waste. I mainly decided to collect recycling to maintain and keep Frostburg clean and liter free. It establishes a healthy environment for locals, students and staff around the area. Going green and keeping the community environmentally friendly is highly stressed around the world today. Any kind

I have long observed many leaders in my time since enlisting in the Coast Guard from an early age. I have seen the good leadership styles and the bad. Each observation is equally important as it helped build my foundation and principles for which I choose to lead. Leadership to me is the simple fact of establishing guiding principles for others to follow. If done correctly each individual that is affected by my leadership should have a positive experience. I have had many great leaders in my career that have had a great influence on me.

As an ASB leadership student we represent the student body, manage the finances of other clubs with our business meeting, but the part I enjoy the most is we organize events such as dances, meetings, pep rallies, and assemblies. Pep rallies is where we can express most of our creativity from how we organize our class section since we make banners, decorations, as well as coming up with class rival games, getting clubs to perform, and introduce that season’s sport teams. As one of the ASB Co-president, our job is to come up with an organized schedule and finalize it with performers and given time for each part involved. Organizing the schedule with performances, announcements, and games involves thinking for the student body in what they’ll enjoy seeing more of. Coming up with games is where we think of new games we have not done in the past as well as creating ones people have never heard of to get the crowd going. After creating the games, we test them to see if we need improvements or any changes to what we made.

Based on the results of the above two assessments, as well as your own knowledge and experience, write a short reflection paper about your real or potential leadership skills and style. Describe your current strengths, your current weaknesses, and the education, training, skills or experience you need to grow as a leader.

The premise that I would agree to is “Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders!” In the Ted Talks video, Sheryl Sandberg speaks of “problems” women in the world are facing (Sandberg, 2017). These “problems” include a woman not making it to the top and women having to choose between professional success and personal fulfillment. I think that it is so wrong that a woman has to choose between having a professional life and a career. A male can have both and there’s never any questions ask, and he’s not frowned upon as if he’s all of a sudden grown two heads. Whenever a woman wants to have both they want to make her feel bad about her decision. Majority of the time she’s going to have a male boss that’s going to

I really enjoyed reading your discussion board post. You made some interesting points about leadership. I agree it takes upper management to bring order and plans. The health system I work in is partnered with clinics. The availability of services these clinics offer is great, but the financial side is lacking so much. This is due to upper management not having a complete plan. I believe other management respects the clinic management because of knowledge-based trust (Lesson 6: Leadership, 2016). The clinical side is covered, but the financial side needs improvement. The financial side lacks order and organization. I understand where management in health systems are coming from. Most of the time their background is in the clinical side. To them the

The following is a self-reflection of my leadership style and the experiences in my careers that have led me to a Captain with the Henderson Police Department. The intent is to provide the reader with some insight into why I am the person that I am and what I need to do to improve myself and in turn the department as a whole.

My definition of leadership has been influenced by training and education, personal interaction and my belief that a vast majority of people once given direction will produce good work. I believe that leadership is the ability to encourage people to work toward a common goal, by giving them the tools, training and freedom to make that goal a very real possibility. This definition has been shaped over the years by many different people, both inside and outside of the Coast Guard by good and poor leaders. I feel that the one thing that is most important in a leader is their vision. The leaders that I have had that have influenced me the most are always the ones that have been able to show me the end goal up front and then given me the freedom to make that goal, my goal. I have always wanted to be able to my job with as little interference as possible and the best way for me to accomplish this is by my leaders knowing exactly they wanted to have as a final product. With a clear direction, I was able to go about the task knowing what was expected and knowing that if I had questions I was free to ask, if more guidance was needed that it would be given but not with someone breathing down my neck. Being given that chance to handle tasks on my own or with a small team was always the way I thrived as a junior Petty Officer and that continued as I grew throughout the years.

An individual’s personal model of leadership is essentially what is important to them and governs an individual’s actions and decisions. Donato Tallo (2017) said what we do and the attitude we have has a “direct impact on those around us and the environments in which we work.” Our values and beliefs impact not only our own lives, but also the lives of everyone we come into contact with. Through having faith in God, serving/helping others, being self-controlled through managing responsibilities, and genuinely loving others I hope to have a positive impact on others lives and point them towards Christ.

The definition of leadership for me is as simple as the actions of a person that has the position, either implied or assigned, of influence over other people. A person can be a good leader or a poor leader depending on those actions. I have experienced both types of leaders in my career and have been able to glean characteristics from both to shape my leadership skills. I believe that a leader will have traits that are positive and negative. Chief Richardson, my Chief in 1995, taught me that decisions made by people are their decisions. Even when the supervisor knows it is not the best decision, the supervisor needs to inform the member and explain the implications, but ultimately the decision is the member’s to make. My MKC in 1997 showed that leading by example is powerful. He was the epitome of “do as I say, not as I do.” Working for him for two years, I decided that whenever possible I would lead by example. Chief Duprau exhibited the effect of words without action in 1999. Telling the engineers at station small that he believed the previous chief neglected them, he promised to visit at least once a month. The next time he visited was four months later. And a personnel matter, not scheduling, necessitated that visit. Since that unit, I have done my utmost to do what I say I will or not say it in the first place. MKC Thunberg showed me that you should know your peers’ jobs as well as your own. Knowing the deck side of the ship as well as engineering helped both

Webster’s defines Leadership as “the action of leading a group of people or an organization”. That definition really does the word no justice because leadership can look like a great many things to different people, and there are equally as many ways to lead. One can lead through fear or respect, by word or by action. Introduction: My definition of leadership and the leadership influences in my career. I have had numerous leaders that have influenced my career and leadership style to this point. The Chief on my first Patrol Boat was one of the biggest influences I have had in my career. I remember how he carried himself with confidence. He empowered his people. He had the personal power to inspire people to want to be better to not disappoint him. But at the same time was able to hold people accountable, and have you learn from the experience. I also had a cutter CO that illustrated for me all the qualities I promised myself I would never be. They did not treat their crew with respect. By their level of micromanagement, they demonstrated that they did not trust their crew. People just dreaded coming to work never knowing what the day was going to bring. Even as I strive to ensure I am never like that leader, there are times that I stop and find myself thinking along the same lines, and demonstrating some of the same weaknesses. I can see how they fell into the traps that they did. I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish in my career, and am happy

In class, so far, we have discussed many different topics about leadership. One being different leadership theories. The one that I feel most represents the leader I want to be in the future is servant leadership. When we discussed servant leadership it was defined as this leadership model is based on the leader and the followers wanting to serve others. Basically, this means the servant leader you put your focus on the needs of others before your own. The followers goal is to serve clients and the leader’s goal is to serve the employee and implement the organization mission statement. The leader supports other employees by noticing their goals and provide the proper support to help them reach those goals. This
