Leadership
My core values were developed in my younger years and came from my parents and close family. One of my core values is integrity. This value came from my father and served as a basis for other traits that developed in me, one being that of honesty. This things were ingrained in me from my earliest memories. To this day, I don’t think I ever heard my father tell a lie or not tell the whole truth. To me, integrity goes farther than just being honest, it is having and living by the principles that I believe.
Another core value that is a part of me is that family, next to God, is the most important thing in my life. This value was planted into me by my parents, in the way they loved me, supported me, and encouraged me. As a core value, it not fully developed

I strive to put the needs and wants of the people I supervise first whenever possible. Just because I am a supervisor, I am no better a person than they are; I just have a higher rank. As a rookie officer I was told when I needed something, “It sucks to be you” by my sergeant. That had a lasting impact on me and made me determined to care for those under me if I was ever the sergeant. I have not always been an 8/8 on the leadership grid. When I first got promoted I was an autocratic leader, but still tried to take care of the officers on shift. As I have progressed in my career, I have tried to become more a democratic leader and believe I have accomplished that. Still at times there is a need to be more of an autocratic leader. Along the same lines, at the start of my supervisory career I can now see that I was very much a manager. I did not deal with people very well, I just expected that they were adults and would have the work ethic to do what they were supposed to do. I found out quickly that some did not and that managerial style of leadership did not work
Integrity should be the most valued core principle. In the Ten Commandments it says “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” God deemed it necessary to show the Israelites the importance of integrity by putting it in the Ten Commandments, thus showing its value to everyone. I have strived during my years in schooling to be as truthful and honest as possible with an emphasis on obeying God’s command. As a homeschooler I had the opportunity to view the answers but because of my commitment to upholding my integrity, I choose to live honestly. The reason was because ultimately God was my authority. When I come to Baylor I will
A few core values that I place importance on in my life are responsibility and reliability. Respecting others is an extremely important value. I believe we all have a responsibility to be respectful because the respect that others are given is what is returned to you. I respect my teachers and do all
Integrity isn’t always an easy road to follow. Integrity to me is being honest, truthful, reliable, and calm in times of stress. Its not easy having integrity. A lot of times Integrity put you in a situation of doing what’s right even if there is no benefit to you for do it. Integrity is being honest when a cashier gives you too much money back.
Personally, it is not difficult to identify the core values that I hold dear, that guide my behavior. It is, however, much more difficult to rank them in terms of their importance to me. If I’m paring down a list of important values that I believe are most influential to me, responsibility, sacrifice, laughter, and integrity stand out as those that simply guide my behavior on a regular basis. If I’m attempting to put them in order, it would be as follows:
Out of these Core Values, I feel that I am strongest is Compassion/Caring. Throughout my life, I have always been concerned with the wellbeing of others. I try my best to help those around me whenever I can. A huge part of the value of Compassion/Caring is considering the needs of others, attending to those needs, and helping others feel that they are worth something. When I was in high school, a friend of mine called me one day, asking for my help. She had gotten some bad news
I already know that integrity is a core value that many people lack due to not learning it at an earlier age. My father, mother, karate instructor, and military instructor all have explained integrity to me and why it is so important to have. Integrity has to be part of your character to be a good person.
Laura stated, “integrity effects you by either being honest or not. If you are honest, then you have integrity. People who say that they are going to do something do it.” You can now see that character, morals, and integrity are very important.
Perseverance. I believe that a strong core value for not only for me but also for my family is perseverance. I first experienced perseverance when I was in first grade. I come from a hispanic family meaning that spanish is our primary language. Neither of my parents knew any english and in first grade I started to get homework, which was entirely in english. I personally was not good at english either, so both my parents and I did not know how to speak the language. Consequently, I was not doing well in school as I would not get my work done and I would have a hard time understanding. When my dad saw that I was struggling he decided to learn english so that he could help me.
It is important for me to be honest to myself and to others. Honesty is another code of ethic that is dear to me. Honesty to me
Leaders, and essentially all people, have a set of values. Values can be defined as an
My personal values help guide me to distinguish what is right and wrong, this helps me in everyday life decision making along with taking action. The values I have chosen and hold closest to my core include integrity, responsibility, concern for others, and honesty. I chose these values because I feel that they are the most important in my life, and they relate well to the topic of child abuse. Integrity is the quality of being honest with strong morals. This is one of the most honorable values to have because not many people possess this trait.
A person of integrity does exactly what he says and says exactly what he means. There is no conflict between his thoughts and actions. His actions are consistent with the values he professes. According to Dr. William Manninger, A building without integrity may receive structural damage, or even collapse, in a storm. Similarly, people without integrity are blown about by the winds of misfortune and destroyed by catastrophes, for they lack the firmness, solidity, and strength of character to weather any storm. This means that integrity is one of the six essential qualities that are the key to success.
Second, I highly value integrity. Integrity is defined as “a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions.” It generally means not intentionally harming others, not stealing from, not cheating, or being fair to, others. I value integrity because it manifests a person’s inner strength, honor, kindness, and geniuses of one’s soul. According to Kantian moral perspective whether an action is morally good or not depends primarily in the intentions of the agent performing the
The Power of Positivity: I one thing I pride myself on is being one of the most positive people out there. I have been through a lot over my life time and therefore there are only a limited amount of things that bring me down. I show my positivity by always smiling and always laughing. Laughing is something that I cannot control all the time and I tend to laugh at random works such as pudding for no reason. I attribute this to the fact that I am so positive and enjoy all aspects of life.
I had learned these core values from my family, teachers/professors, peers and myself. While I was younger to the age I am now, I was shown how important it is to have strong characteristics that make you a person. Everything I had been through I had lost and gain some of the values along the way of my life. I will admit not all of these came at once; it took much time to see the importance of my life and progress what’s left in it. Most of the time, when I was stuck I’d ask for advice and see how others got
