Personal Narrative B. A. S. E. Leadership

I believe that leaders must accept the crucibles and acid test so that they can identify their value, and accomplish their great dream and tough missions. As the author of the “Crucibles of leadership” mentioned that leaders should equip with the following essential skills, namely, “engage others in shared meaning, a distinctive, compelling voice, integrity, and adaptive capacity.1 We know how these essentials important, however, we don’t understand how to obtain these elements as well as how to employ them, because the overconfidence always blind us. Thus, people who desire to become the leaders need to go through the crucible test.

Communication is key to the success and failure of most everything that we do, and that

This day was busy, but I was able to help out more by checking patients in and checking them out this time around. Felt a lot more comfortable with the system and interacting with the clients and their pets. This was my last day working in the front, I enjoyed working with Leonore and the rest of the staff in the front but, I am very excited to work in the back to get hands on experience working with the technician’s and the doctor’s.

My leadership Mythology and influence originates from military training, reading and mimicking others using some but not all prominent biography’s relevant to people’s traits or actions, as well as proven doctoral guide develop by the us government. I would suggest that leadership and also the understanding of this process via written words continues to be overlooked. Over time I have gravitated to resembling other past great leader’s self-concepts that they might have lead, which telling the existence story or areas of leadership behavior. To illustrate the existence-story approach, in this short paper I offer my own personal leadership

My vision for Lehigh Athletics is that, as a whole, we are constantly striving to make improvements. For me specifically, this means continually examining my own performance as well as my teammates performance and helping them improve in any way possible. I am working to improve my team culture, and help all of my teammates reach peak performance.

’m the first one to be born And it’s my responsibility To leave traces For others to follow I have to be cautious Or I might step into The wrong ground Letting the roots swallow me up There’s so much pressure in me

At the end of August 2008 when I worked in a company called Colsanitas in Bogota Colombia, I had the great opportunity to meet to Yanira Rodriguez who is my current partner.

The first time I saw one of those navy blue National Honors Society shirts, I was enthralled. I was in middle school, attending a high school girls basketball game, and the National Honor Society was running a fundraiser during half-time. I did not know what the group was fundraising for, or what the shirts represented, but I did notice that all of the seniors who I looked up to were participating in this. The track runners whom I admired, the top of the class scholars, and the few seniors who would apologize if they accidentally banged into my huge backpack, were all a part of this prestigious group standing on the large Scarlet bird in the center of the gym. I did not know what it meant then, but I knew I wanted to be just like them.

For the past four summers I have worked as a camp counselor at Camp Longhorn in Burnet, Texas. Although this past summer was my last, I have grown both personally and professionally through my time there. Over the course of four summers I have seen boys turn into young men that come from all across the country. I was in charge of a cabin ranging in size from nine to fourteen young men. My job was to overlook and provide assistance and guidance when needed as well as being a mentor. Being in charge of a group of boys has challenges in and of itself, however I was able to find a balance between a parent figure and an older brother. With each situation arose I realized that the strive I have to be open minded and constructive when needed allowed me to balance my guidance with personal gains.

I learned early on that the bedrock of any organization, corporation, or military unit is the personnel who work or serve within. Understanding the skills, capabilities, and experience of the people within your group is vital to help them personally excel and the group to succeed. My first experience with the complexities of personnel management were as a teenager some thirty-five-years ago.

My leadership has been evident in my ability to create and organize volunteer opportunities and in spearheading many local initiatives dealing with social equality. I have run a tutoring center for academically struggling middle school students, organized a winter clothing and baby item drive for domestic abuse, and created a debate club for high school and middle school students looking to improve their talents. Through all these endeavors, I had to take charge and use my leadership skills in organizing and planning events, donations, and volunteers. My ingenuity, enthusiasm, and commitment to these causes gave me the inspiration to lead these projects and to help my community. However, I do not use my leadership skills only for philanthropic

In 2006, my supervisor held a meeting with all members of the team to discuss the progress of scheduled maintenance and the ground vehicle capability report. At the end of the meeting, he subtly asked all members about his leadership performance because he heard a rumor that our section would perform better without him. He questioned us: “Am I productive leader? Do you have a suggestion that would improve my leadership?” I insisted that we should use our time productively because we were constantly working late for no apparent reason even though we met our goal and objective for that day. The morale of the members was low and the members were dissatisfy with their job at that time. My supervisor was lacking on his execution skill because we

One major leadership role I had was working at Sheldon Oaks Retirement. I started working there as a Server and a year later I was also working as a Kitchen Helper. A few short months after starting there, I was training every new Server they hired, and eventually trained some Kitchen Helpers once I started working that position. I trained over a dozen new Server and a few Kitchen Helpers. Everyone who worked was required to make sure everything was completed by the appropriate time. Management especially looked towards me to guarantee that everything was completed as it should

It takes a lot to be a leader. I would know because I looked up to leaders all my life. I was always the follower, he one who took orders and did what I was told. I never thought of becoming anything more. Beginning high school was a difficult transition. Suddenly everything you did mattered because it directly affected your future. I was always the wall flower, the shy girl with introverted tendencies that sometimes held me back. However, that all changed after I joined robotics my sophomore year.

As you will note on my enclosed resume, I hold a B.A. degree in the area of English as well as a M.A. degree in Educational Leadership with a focus on Administration and Supervision. Although the greater portion of my experience has been in the area of classroom teaching rather than administrative duties, my formal evaluations have often noted my strengths in creative thinking, problem solving, strong long-range planning, and the ability to communicate with a diverse population. I believe these strengths in addition to my various leadership responsibilities while teaching create a body of comprehension that would be well-suited for the administrative intern position. For the past 2 years I have served as the 12th grade English lead teacher
