My Reflection Of Leadership And Leadership

During my last spring semester at Fort Hays State University, I became aware that in order to finish my bachelor’s degree, I would have to take one more class prior to walking across the stage at graduation in May. At that time, I was just ready to be done, so I hoped for something fast and easy. When I saw the requirements for this class, I knew that wasn’t going to be the case at all. I saw the number of books I would read and the number of papers I would write and I am not going to lie, I felt

During this class we took many assessments and I learned a lot about myself and what kind of leader I want to be. On your leadership potential I learned my behaviors are the same as leader, these are people who are opened minded, share ideas and values with the company and open to change in the organization. For another assessment t rate your optimism test I found out I am someone who is optimistic and I agree with the statement that people want to follow a leader that is optimistic, rather than

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. I was born in May of 1968 in San Diego, California. I was the first of what would eventually become 3 children. My parents divorced when I was five and I spent my early years with my mother

This summer course has been one of my favorite classes during my time in the program. My feelings come from a place of life experiences, course materials and understanding all finally coming full circle. My initial interest in joining this Industrial Organizational Program came from the stress inducing experience I wrote about in my Change Process Critique Paper. Long story made short: I was in an organization where there was an abundance of great values, great potential within the members and a

My approach to supervision is to lead by example and always with integrity first. I will constantly lead with the best interest of the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office in mind. I would never want to bring discredit upon our agency, so I will stress to my subordinates the importance of doing the right thing at all times. Leaders must be trustworthy and they must have values they adhere to. I intend to demonstrate through my actions to the people I will supervise, the strong values and ethics

see as leadership skills. What I learned and noticed as this course went on is that not everyone is a born-leader and some leadership qualities can be learned if you try hard enough. Now I think of a leader as someone who is in charge of getting people to meet a certain goal together. A leader is also someone who is confident in themselves and can reflect their confidence on to their followers. I also know that my definition of what I see a leader to be will change over the years in due my life experiences

on, As any leader I have strengths as well as weaknesses, I feel one of my strengths is my willingness to listen to others, I have always let other know that I am open to their suggestions, I make it clear that another’s idea might be a better way to do something, If the idea is good and things can be changed then they should, I feel my willingness to not only listen, but to hear what they say is why I feel this is one of my strengths, Typically people only truly listen only 25 percent of time, The

In order to evaluate and reflect on my own leadership practices and style, I completed the Seven HabitsⓇ Profile to shine a light on my current status. Initially I will review the document and my results. I will then evaluate my leadership practices, strengths, weaknesses, recommendations for success, discuss S.M.A.R.T. goals and end with some final thoughts. The Seven HabitsⓇ Profile is a profile originally published in the Stephen R. Covey book, The Seven HabitsⓇ are: 1. be proactive 2. begin

The leadership and ethic class was the first class of the semester and I did not know what to expect. During my first class, I was greeted by many different persons all with different personalities. From the second class onwards, each person made the class interesting and contributed valid points to every discussion. Through discussions, each of us developed our own philosophies about who we are and where we would like to go in life. 1. Describe what you have learnt about yourself during the

As I began this Leadership in Education course, I entered with an open mind and eagerness to learn about varying leadership styles and approaches. Over the years, I have fortunately been exposed to numerous genuine, caring, exceptional leaders in higher education. They all shared one commonality: student-centeredness. This has been my compass and guides me in my work. Through this course, I wanted to learn how I can better support students, whether directly or indirectly by leading other professionals
