Obstacles Of Organizing A Bible Camp Analysis

The Salvation Army has a strong organizational culture with strict guidelines and tight control over their officers. “Organizational culture refers to a system of shared meaning held by members that distinguishes the organization from other organizations” (Robbins & Judge, 2015, p. 249). Initially, members train in a military style for two years and then are “commissioned to serve, given the rank of lieutenant, ordained as ministers, and assigned to active duty while continuing their education” for five years (The Salvation Army USA, 2015). There are many descriptions of behavior associated with leadership, and the Salvation Army organizations set high ethical standards for their leaders and foster authentic and servant leadership behaviors. According to Robbins and Judge (2015), “Authentic leaders know who they are, know what they believe in and value, and act on those values and

The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is an example of a community activity that I have actively taken many leadership roles in. Having served the Royal Canadian Air Cadets for more than four years with the 540 Golden Hawks Squadron, I partake in various activities. I have also learned numerous invaluable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and confidence, all of which are not spoon-fed to us, but rather acquired from the experiences that I have been through with cadets. We are constantly coached and supervised by Officers who encourage us to lead others. As we age and climb up the ranks, we are encountered with many leadership opportunities that we are strongly encouraged to take.

One of my very first instances of leadership was during a Boy Scout meeting about five years ago where I led our

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.

Serving as a leader for my group for History Fair has really helped me improve my organization and communication skills. We faced many conflicts because my group and I had many ideas and different point of views and I had to be able to bring those ideas together into one functional project. My job as a leader was also to assign different jobs to the members of the group to make it fair to everyone and divide the work equally. At the beginning there were also many conflicts deciding the topic of the project so we decided to pick a group leader and by everybody’s vote I took the position.

At the sleep away camp that I attended this summer, I was appointed "General" for an all camp activity known as Color War. For four days, the camp is divided into two teams that compete against each other in athletics and other competitive activities. Having been selected out of 400+ campers to take on this elite position was such an honor - I cried tears of happiness. While acting general was extremely rewarding, it quickly became a challenge. Carrying the responsibility to lead cheers, hold team meetings, while making sure the people I led were happy and enjoying the most exciting days of camp was nothing short of nerve-racking. However, every challenge I faced during those four days made each experience that more rewarding , even if my

I have learned the importance of leading a large group of differing opinions into a unified force. I have also developed a strong sense of responsibility for my actions towards others and in holding a powerful position. I have held numerous leadership titles such as “Miss Junior Seven Hills” as well as “Miss Teen Seven Hills”. Through these opportunities I represented the city of Seven Hills at city and county wide events and learned the importance of communication and how to be a positive representative. I am a part of a handful of other clubs at school including Key Club, National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Student Government, and Jazz Band. I am a completive dancer at Caliber Dance Company and have danced since I was 8 years old. Dance has taught me discipline and has proven to me that hard work pays off. Although I have experience in these various activities I think my most significant experience comes from my time as a member of NIMB. I have firsthand experience of feeling too intimidated to have fun and I want to ensure that no member of NIMB has the same feeling at any point throughout the season. I have seen many leaders of the band come and go and have learned that in order to be effective a Field Commander must be positive, personable, focused, and dedicated. I promise to personify these traits and use my experience in a beneficial

Vacation Bible School is a program that the First Baptist Church of Carrizo Springs offers to young students within the community. The soul purpose of this program is to help students find The Lord through reading his word. Vacation Bible School wants to help students find hope with Christianity. This program is also a great way for students to create memories, and learn lessons that they will carry throughout the rest of their lives.

During a major exercise in preparation for an upcoming deployment, I was tasked to lead the Joint Task Force Operation Center. The exercise requires the integration of many parties who are not part of the same countries (or even a team). As the facilitator, I knew I had to go about this by wearing my creative worker hat to make this a successful exercises. Therefore, being the person that will bring this all together, I knew I must exercise leadership in a highly ambiguous context. The exercise did not have no clear yardstick for how the mission should perform and there are were no clear rules for who gets to control the output. With that being said, I became that effective leader by creating a share purpose in these ambiguous circumstances

In and outside school, I’ve done many activities that I’ve been the leader of, mostly involved with charing things for StuCo. I’ve chaired many things, but most likely some of the most important things I’ve chaired have been being one of the chairs for the winter energizer, and being a chair for the leadership recognition breakfast. In the winter energizer I was tasked with helping make a massive school wide scavenger hunt, which took a lot of time and effort to figure out clues and decide how everything would fit together. I also had to design a maze for people to navigate blindfolded and they had to have a partner direct them where to go. The last thing I did at the winter energizer was help manage one of the “olympic games”, which was just a simple mini game, but I had to explain the rules, make sure the people obeyed said rules, and afterwards I had to clean up the massive mess the game left, as there were M&Ms all over the floor. For the leadership recognition

In the summer of 2016, I was chosen to be a camp counselor for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Birmingham, AL. The camp was from June 29, 2016 to July 1, 2016. It was at Camp ASCCA in Alex CIty. In order to be selected, there was a lot of paperwork and interviews to be done. Each person selected to be a counselor was assigned to one child who suffered from a variety of muscular problems. Our job was to have our child to their designated activities on time, wake them up, get them dressed, and make sure they stayed fed and hydrated. The child I was assigned to could walk but she got extremely tired at times so, she wanted to use her wheelchair. The camp gave the children many opportunities to do things that they normally would not be allowed

In Experiencing the Lifespan (2016), Belsky quotes a person as a teenager and they said "at about age 15, I decided the best way to keep myself off the streets was to get involved in my church youth group. It was my best time of life." In order for Victor to become success he need to become involved in something he is passionate about. Many teens of his age turn to extracurricular activities such as musics or sports. Extracurricular activities are important for teens Victors age because it helps them develop working skills, people skills, and much more. He should Victor should also engage himself in cliques and crowds. Typically when we think of cliques and crowds we think of them in a negative way. These groups are actually beneficial in helping

I had been a part of a leadership role in AJROTC as an S-3; S-3's job is Operation & Training. The position is known to create events that will fit the mission of AJROTC, which is to motivate young people to be a better citizen. I worked with my other staffs to make the event happen as soon as possible; I contributed by giving my ideas on how to motivate cadets to attend each event. What I meant by cadet is the student in the program. My responsibilities is to communicate with my staffs by having meeting with them every Wednesday to shared our thought to improved the program. I supported myself by giving my commitment to the program and managed my time with school, sport and AJROTC at the same time. Throughout a year of being a part of the

The leadership role I have, is third in command from my cadets, it is my responsibility to make sure that any job they are given, is done correctly, and to oversee the events we attend too, from the Tour to Palm Springs were they have to make sure that whoever is attending the race, goes and participates when they are suppose to, as well as making sure that the racers stay hydrated, Later to the FootBall games at Palm Desert High School, were they act as security, for everyone to stay safe so nothing can go wrong. The way I influence my cadets is by being the role model among them, to know what they must become in order to do their part of their role in a team they are in, for instance I always dress into my uniform when I must, for it is a requirement, which then shows them that I can be trusted if I play my part, by dressing on time, never being irresponsible, also by

Camp Parks has always been at its finest when guided by aspirit of shared sacrifice and common purpose. It is the spirit of the command team standing before you that led a small
