My Leadership Philosophy

My potential as a leader comes from my drive, my belief in myself, and my ability to inspire others to believe in themselves. From my experience as a competitive figure skater and a performer in a professional choir, I know how important it is to be tenacious and have faith in one's own abilities. I have lost track of the number of times I have heard people call themselves stupid because they did poorly on a test and or have given up on a goal because they lose faith in themselves. I find this heartbreaking and I strive to fix it. I have potential as a leader because I can help people build faith in their abilities and teach them new things, leading them to be successful. My own belief in myself and my tenacity allow me to achieve my goals

There are various styles that create a strong leader. However, I believe that the best ideal way to lead, is by showing love. You can be motivational and you can be diligent, nevertheless if it accomplished without love it is done in vain.

Throughout my life, I have never really been a follower in the typical sense. While I have looked to people older than me for help and advice. In addition, I never really saw myself as a typical leader. What I mean by that is I felt that I was a leader by doing my own thing and not worrying about everyone else or being a part of a particular clique. What I realized by just going about my business is that my attitude attracted others in the sense that they knew I was about work and wanted to emulate my demeanor in order for to be successful in school. One time that I recall in which I had to lead a team of my peers was this past summer. I enrolled in a few summer classes in order to better prepare me for college. For one of my classes

Being a leader means having the ability to compromise, the ability to listen well and to empathize. I have demonstrated leadership at work with my coworkers who are interns and are new to the job. I always show them what to do and how to do it right. I also encourage them that with time and practice they will get used to the job. At school, I always try to correct my classmates whenever I see them do something wrong. I show them how to do it right. It just never feels right to me seeing someone do something wrong and not correcting them or showing them the right thing. Some of my classes like art I have with students who are in a lower grade than me, students who are just learning to draw and paint. Most times I show them some drawing and painting techniques that would them. We also work in groups most times at school and I’ve learnt never to criticize anyones ideas. I respect people’s ideas and people themselves. The first and most important area of leadership is to show others respect and gain respect and I believe it is important to show respect whether the person deserves it or not.

Forward. The motto of my home state, Wisconsin. It inspires a sense of effect, the sense of pushing towards the greater good; a faith for humanity and it’s endeavors. To move everyone forward towards a goal is the guise of leadership, but the way in which one leads will determine the effectiveness of a leadership effort.

What does it mean to be a leader? Do you look at strong political figures, or humble community organizers? Do you look to glamorous movie stars, or to brilliant scientists? Would you say these people are leaders in what they do?

In my experience, my idea of leadership is being able to inspire others, motivate, communicate, respect others, listen to individuals, and of course lead from the front. I believe that every leader needs to have the ability to convince his or her followers that they are worthy of being followed. Creating an environment that encourages people to share their opinions and to motivate them to be their best selves is an important aspect of leadership, and allows members of your team to trust you throughout the entire task or mission. No one individual is going to be the same and that is why you as a leader have to be able to push and motivate each individual differently. I strongly believe that good leaders are made rather, and not born. I believe

People view the role as a leader as something that someone has to have a lot of experience in, but in reality it is not about the past experience itself. As Robin S. Sharma says, “Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.” Being a true leader is based on how you develop as a person based on past experiences and based on the people around you who influence you. Being a leader to me is being someone who inspires everyone to push forward whether they are struggling or soaring.

"The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership." General Colin Powell

To be a leader in today’s society, in my opinion, one must possess genuine abilities that empower and strengthen those they wish to lead or mentor. The idea that an individual is born with the skill set and talents of someone that has spent the majority of their life “evolving” through priceless experience is both extremely farfetched and a bit unbelievable. However, throughout my own experiences, I have seen others achieve leadership positions through training and or personal development. Moreover, I am sure that there are some “would be leaders” that have a natural talent for leadership but I use the term “some” lightly. Research has shown that the qualities of a leader are not necessarily tied to one or the other but leaders have shown

I believe that I'm good in coming up with optimizing and innovative solutions. I feel good when I learn something new. I like when I can do something in a new way. I believe I have leadership skills. I’m emotionally stable and will remain calm under difficult situations. I can manage people with different personalities and can encourage them for improvement.

To me, leadership is taking responsibilities, inspiring others decision and creating a vision for the future. I think leaders are those who use their skills in leadership to make a difference in others. All great leaders had something unique about them and yet they were bound by the greatness that helped them to lead the masses to innovation. To be a leader means you always be on point to influence others and also willing to adapt accordingly if things are changing in another direction. As a role model, it is very important to listen and react to problematic concerns in a timely manner. When holding a leadership role, you have to admit to fault and fix issues. A leader must accept the fact that everyone has flaws at one time or another. Being

Many people are leaders but some are not. It take a lot to be a leader. What does it take to be a good leader? Am I a leader or a follower? How do I know I’m a leader or a follower? Who follows me and when do they follow? When and where do I follow and can leaders cause difficulties for Christians? All of these questions will be addressed in this paper. I hope these questions make you think about yourself and help you become a better leader.

Leaders are not born they are made. The basics of leadership can be learned by anyone, but most people choose not to take up the mantle. When a leader is formed they are crafted with honor, courage, and commitment.

Over the last century, defining what exactly a leader is, has proven difficult, with many researchers creating their own definitions. However, I believe a leader is a person that can motivate and influence people to follow them in the quest to accomplish objectives and goals, which are part of a greater vision. Furthermore, leadership is the ability to motivate people to accomplish tasks or goals. In the workforce, leaders provide direction and motivate personnel to focus on steps to move towards the provided direction. In this way, leadership differs from management, as management plans, organizes, and moves in a controlled manner. An example is generating work schedules for employees, ensuring the organization has the appropriate amount of people to accomplish the company’s goals.
