Leadership is a very unique concept. One leadership style could be great in one situation and then the same style could be horrible in another situation. As a leader it is important to know the situation that you are in. My style of leadership is mainly leading through example. I believe that leading through example will work in most situations that you will find yourself. As a leader one of my main talents is knowing what kind of situation I am in. I can learn quickly how I should act in that certain situation.
My main leadership strength from the 16 personality quizzes are dedication, being direct and honest, and enjoying creating order. I have a hard time not finishing things that I start, which can be a great thing when trying to get a project done because instead of quitting I can fight through and get it done. My ability to be direct and honest is very helpful because I follow the facts instead of the unproven abstract ideas. I am very honest and straightforward when I am telling people things I tend not to

My main weaknesses are my stubbornness, uncomfortable in chaotic situations, and being judgmental. My self confidence and need for order sometimes makes me stuck on what is the right way to do and organize things. I can also be uncomfortable when there are unorganized situations and my time is being wasted waiting for something to happen. To me having my time wasted frustrates me even though I probably wouldn't do anything to important with the time of mine that was wasted it still is something that bothers me. My last weakness which I try my best to change is being judgemental. Everytime I see something or someone my first reaction is to judge. I feel that if I put so much effort into something I can judge other people who don't put as much effort into something. I will continue to work hard to limit this weakness and be more understanding of other people's
My leadership style is about how I treat under me with respect, approachable and willing to listen with different suggestions in decision making. I want to have a cooperative teamwork, little supervision, and motivation with professionalism. There is always room for training in developing skills and expertise and encouragement to go above and beyond.
Communication is key to the success and failure of most everything that we do, and that
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
The gifts, motives, role, likes and dislikes as a religious leader after serving in my supervised ministry setting are vast due to having two different settings in which I served. The first half was as a spiritual leader within a role of chaplaincy at Morristown Medical Center. The other half of the year was in my role of Local Licensed Associate Pastor which was appointed to me by the Bishop of the Greater New Jersey Conference. Each of the positions I held had both positive and negative experiences. I can honestly say I have learned something from all of them.
School communities must have leaders that continually strive to learn, grow, and reflect on their experiences to make a significant impact. I plan to incorporate these same ideas when embarking on my new role as a supervisor. I have expanded and refined my experiences as a teacher since I embarked with cohort four on this leadership journey, and I feel equipped to be the effective leader that will truly make a difference in our schools. This year’s courses and high expectations from our faculty have provided me the opportunities to reflect on my strengths and weaknesses on a scale larger than that of the classroom. Our projects and meaningful discussions have helped shape my leadership philosophy.
My weaknesses were hard for me to identify but with the help of my sister I was suddenly very clear on what my weaknesses are. I was able to identify one weakness on my own and it is impatience. Patience has never been one of my virtues. I want everything done right now and all done my way immediately. Being impatience have destroy some friendship and have family member lose interest and effort to help, dealing with me isn’t the easiest thing in to do.
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.
When my third grade teacher suggested Leader as a game to play, I didn’t think that I would learn a lesson from one simple game. For me, games are fun because they are competitive. Learning life lessons while playing a game was kind of like doing math while hanging out with your friends. Fun? Probably not. As the game we played taught me, though, sometimes you have to look closer to see things as they really are.
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
Leadership is one of those terms that get used very often, but it has a variety of meanings. The traits you use as a leader always changes depending on the time, place, and situation, and it is the good ones that knows when to make the change. Leadership also has many styles Example, do you use dictator like style, who rules with an iron fist and persecutes people with different ideas, or do you have a more democratic approach. “Every leader has a particular style of leadership that is innate. However, the behaviors, attitudes or methods of delivery that are effective for one staff member may in fact be counterproductive for another,” says Michael Burke, account supervisor, MSR Communications, a public relations firm. “Great leaders are aware of their own style and make the effort to learn how their style actually comes across to their team. They learn to flex their leadership style to individual team members so that they communicate and behave in ways that motivate and inspire.”
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
“LGP! Put on your running shoes, grab your towel, swimsuit and googles, and be down here lined up in two minutes!” Once again I pulled myself out of my sleeping bag covered bed and mindlessly followed the anonymous leader’s instructions. LGP, which stands for Leadership Growth Program, is a six-week long summer camp program made to help teenage boys grow into Godly men, through physical, emotional, and spiritual hardship. Throughout the course of the past three weeks, my fellow “LGPers” and I had completed work projects around camp, participated countless Bible studies and devotions, and ventured on a forty mile hike, followed by a forty mile canoe trip, followed by a ten mile jog back to camp. Additionally for two of those weeks we had gone on a run and swam laps every morning, at the crack of dawn. For the last time I prepared to perform this morning ritual, and attempt to survive another run and swim. Little did I know, this morning was certainly different than all other mornings.
Life has a funny way of making you grow up - unmercifully throwing you into tough situations that force you to question your worth, reexamine your priorities, and make difficult decisions. While some are lucky enough to be eased into this process, others have no chance to test the waters, and instead are forced into the process suddenly and forcefully. Personally, I've spent most of my life struggling to learn how to survive in the deep end, seeing that I am the son of an abusive father who fights his own battles with drug addiction, and a disabled mother who fights the daily battle of being able to walk. Subsequently, my life lessons were taught in a different fashion, things like waking up at 2 in the morning to discover the car has been
In Leadership, so far I have learned three specific things. The first is how to listen to what other people are trying to say, the second is how to prioritize things that I need to do and the third is how to set and attain goals. The first, listening, has been the topic of several of our lectures. Both Habit five and Habit six are centralized about learning to understand people. In Habit five we talked about why we need each other and how connection can help us with our personal priorities as well as the priorities of others, making everyone happier in the long run. We talked about five things that people do that prevent them from hearing others such as Spacing Out, Word Listening, and Judging. We went on to talk about how to counteract these things by doing things like focusing on what they are trying to communicate rather
