response to the stress of regularly writing papers that ‘feel long’ is just a great example of some of what I learned from my MBTI/Firo B results. I have taken a number of self assessments over the years and MBTI was one of the first in my early leadership training. I was not overly surprised at my results as I feel that I have made choices in my life and work that complement the characteristics that the assessment highlights. My ST is likely why I gravitated to the science field in the first place
this reflection is to expose critically how I could evaluate my own experience with relation to the theories and ideas about Leadership. In other words, how this lecture and insights changed my personal notion, as well, how I could amplify my knowledge about this subject. But I assume that the most important is to demonstrate how the application of Leadership skill is relevant in my career in the future. I have chosen three topics I thought was more relevant to develop my personal reflections connecting

This paper contains my personal leadership development blueprint this quarter. The paper consists of four sections: In the first section, the key aspects of my leadership practices (believes, values, ethics, and actual strengths) will be discussed. The second section provides an insight into the aspect of my leadership activity, which need to be improved or developed. The paper identifies main leadership weaknesses and impediments which restrain me from becoming an effective leader. The third section
When asked to define leadership, I think most people will reflect to someone who has made a significant impact on their lives—a leader. In some, leadership is an inherent trait, in others it is learned quality. As a leader in the military, I can say that leadership is undoubtedly a quality that is expected of a person, to an extent, at entry level; the rest is developed and cultivated by our mentors and life experience. I can think of two people who I can attribute my leadership values to, although
other’s opinions, and having confidence in decisions that are made. Throughout my experience as the president of SADD, I have received first-hand opportunities, such as the Red Ribbon Rally, school activities, and community events, that have built my leadership skills. To start off, in the middle of October, every year, a Red Ribbon Rally is held at a neighboring school. At this event, the schools are intermingled and groups rotate through stations. In October of this year, my school had the gracious
What is leadership? This is a question I’ve been asked numerous times throughout my eighteen year Coast Guard career. It’s one that I’ve always contemplated but never took the time to explore further. The longer I serve and the more I learn, the more my vision on leadership changes and develops. I’ve been extremely fortunate over the course of my career to be part of several successful units and took part in critical operations that provided assistance to those in need while simultaneously carrying
They are the first point of contact for all of our patrons; we do over 300 events a year, many of them with over 200 guests. My employees are aware that they are representatives of the values and mission of the college and that if they disrespect a patron they are placing the whole organization in a bad light. They are also aware that they are one of the main reasons why we hold a great reputation around campus and in the surrounding communities. They are the ones who are making sure our patrons
that point, it became very evident that I was emulating the behavioural traits of a transactional leader. To be more specific, my leadership style aligned with management by exception passive. My passive approach to leadership works in certain environments but I now understand where I was lacking as a leader. Over the next 3-5 years, I plan on improving my leadership effectiveness by taking a more active role. I intend to do so by first working on my emotional health dimension. Physical exercise
Leadership Leadership is an essential part of society that is applied in our daily real-life situations. From what I have learned in this course, it is my understanding that leaders are constantly sought after, and leadership is an important service. People in society are constantly searching for attributes that make good leaders and looking for methods of making more effective leaders. This is because leadership is not only applied in our professional lives, but also in our social and personal
