Personal Narrative: My Intermediate Leadership Experience

As a supportive B.A.S.E. Leader, I participated in Frog Hollow's Halloween Carnival, B.A.S.E. kick-off - an event in which B.A.S.E. leaders lead, support, and have fun with incoming grade eights, and B.A.S.E. lunches - a weekly event for grade eights that B.A.S.E. leaders supervise, and clean up afterwards. In fact, one of my most memorable experiences include the time when a shy kid, named Spencer, was eating all alone during a B.A.S.E. lunch that I was supervising. Hence, I decided to have a welcoming conversation with him, and introduce him to some of the other grade eights in the room because from my experience in the past as a shy kid, I would've greatly appreciated it if someone had introduced, and welcomed me to other kids as well. In

It was a humid August morning in Fork Union, Virginia when I, along with 42 of the finest cadets Fork Union Military Academy had to offer, boarded buses for a trip to our final training exercise of the 10-day leadership training course. This course was open only to cadets who had performed admirably in the prior school year. I was told the night before to be prepared for an orienteering course and to wear my battle dress uniform, which consisted of a pair of heavy, olive drab green cargo pants, a black polo shirt embroidered with the academy name, and a pair of carefully shined leather combat boots, the perfect uniform for a day of taxing exertion. When I arrived at Terry Farms, a school-owned plot of land that would serve as the orienteering course for that day, I surveyed my surroundings and saw acres of open fields bordered by dense forests filled with

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

For the past 3 summers I have been a part of a Leadership in Training summer Camp run by the YMCA. It is a two week event, the first week is your “Training”. This is where you play team building games, and learn to solve problems as a group. The second week, your skills get put to the test. On the first day of the second week you get assigned to a group. The groups are sorted by age, the ages range from preschool to 5th grade.( I normally request the preschoolers). There is normally 1-2 counselors per group. You assist the counselors along with help the kids do fun activities such as fishing, canoeing, archery, and arts and crafts. A lot of patience is needed for this, along with the ability to say “no” sometimes.

Let’s be honest, every freshman is bound to get lost trying to find their way around school and I was one of them. I never knew that would be how I become a leader.

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.

How are things going? I see that life has been exciting for you these past few months, that's is so great to see! I want to follow up with you on a conversation we had a few months back when I invited you to a Challenge Group, I can't remember where we exactly left the conversation, I do remember you wanted to lose some fat, get toned, and be healthier in general. I am leading a Challenge Group that starts in February and wanted to see if you, or anyone you know, might be interested in joining. I'm specifically looking for ladies that want to get started losing weight over 30 days.

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

What type of leader am I? I really wouldn’t know exactly what to say to that question due to the fact I have only been in a leadership position a hand full of times. If I were to make a guess I would say I am someone who leads by example and isn’t afraid to stand up for the people that work with me. In regards to the style I would use, I’d have to say Transnational individualized consideration. I say this due to the fact that I really like to get to know a subordinate on a personal level and make sure that I am sensitive to who they are not only as a troop but as a person. I would like to be the type of NCO that is always looking out for the best interest of my subordinates, trying to keep them motivated and have a successful career while they

I love working out at the gym, but I also enjoy doing outdoor exercises. I started playing volleyball when I was around 9 or 10 years old. It is a sport that I enjoy playing, and I find it to be a stress release for me. When I decided to play volleyball, my goal was to become good, not professionally good, but just to be good at the sport. I will see my mom, who was really good at playing the sport, and I felt that I need to be as good as her. Also, at school, I will watch my friends play, which really made me want to be part of their volleyball team and learn different techniques from them. In my opinion one of the theories that will apply will be Growth and Mastery Theory, which states that we behave as we do to develop fully by interacting

I grew up in a family of Indian railway employees. Along with a railway job my father used to serve in the Territorial Army. I learned from my father about the discipline, leadership, and commitment needed to serve the country. At the age of 12, I joined the Bharat Scouts and Guides to achieve physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as an individual. From being a boy scout, I grew up in the ranks over the years to scout leader. During my last year of high school, I became the school captain, planning and leading the school day-to-day student activities. During the same time, as a captain, I lead my school team to a district level cricket championship. I enjoyed my entire school journey learning and building leadership qualities. My urge for community service led me to look for opportunities in and outside of my undergrad college. During my search, I met then Commanding Officer of NCC 2(A) Compo Tech Regiment, a wing of Indian army in Visakhapatnam. After my brief interaction with him, I felt that joining National Cadet Crops (NCC) would further strengthen my leadership skills and give me an opportunity to serve the community. During my stint at NCC, I organized camps for water conservation, blood donation, and tree plantation. The unique training activities that the NCC provided me with in terms of teamwork and leadership have molded me into a disciplined and selfless leader.
