Personal Narrative: My Next Toxic Leader

It was record breaking temperatures on this July 4th day. Red, white, and blue filling up the stands. Fans and umbrellas protecting spectators from the heat of the sun. It was about game time and I was getting ready to take the field for the last home game. Butterflies in my stomach, but I had to tell myself “it’s just another game”. Even though in my heart I knew it was not just another game.

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

I had been working for a children’s summer camp for three years, I had been supervised by the same manager for two years. On my third year working there in the summer, there was a new manager for the camp and I received a higher position, Division Leader. One of my responsibilities was dealing with children, parents and staff conflicts. During my third year, when my new manager, Jason came in, he also brought some of his old staff with him. During our training, there was one staff member that got my attention, Joseph who was a previous staff member of Jason. He was a very outspoken and enjoyed being a leader of activities. When I recieved my list of staff members, I noticed that he was on my list as a regular counselor. When I announced that he would be a regular counselor

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.

    We are told from the time that we are young to take responsibility for our actions, but there are some kids out there that blame their responsibilities on others. Even though they don’t want to take responsibility for their actions someone else has to take responsibility. When being able to be part of the stories you learn things that you wouldn’t ever be able to learn without being part of it. I have learned things the hard way just to find out that I shouldn’t have been doing it in the first place. Here are some thing that I learned from this situation.

After I told rowdy that “I'm sick of indian guys who treat white women like bowling trophies”.Get a life.I kinda felt bad for what I said but then again i didn't because he was a trader and i felt as if he left me for white pride.maybe I was just racist and couldn't accept that my best friend was going to do great things is his life now that he had a chance.later that day i decided to email Junior back and kinda talk to him about women.”Hey asshole , i didn't mean to insult you..but dude really what do you really like about her and how did you attract her.junior replied and said.

One should stay within its limits since I also know, how to fire. One should stay within its limits since I also know, how to fire.

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.

Throughout this course, I have been able to identify what leadership philosophy I have developed. I believe the best way to start to describe my philosophy as a law enforcement professional, would begin by quoting Peter Drucker, “management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”. My leadership philosophy similarly founded on such a statement. I believe that as I leader doing things right, creates opportunities to always do the right thing.

The other week I made some plans with friends for the weekend. The only problem was that I was scheduled to work on that day. This wasn’t a big deal, as I could simply text my coworkers and ask one of them to take my shift. As I received one excuse after another, I became more desperate until finally someone replied with an “Ugggghhhhh”. This told me that although they didn’t want to take my shift, they probably could seeing as they didn’t give me any reason that they were busy. So how did I convince them? I suddenly changed my approach. Here is the actual, word-for-word text that I sent them. “By the way you're a great person and I'm glad I get to work with you and we're best friends.” Why did I say that? Did I just happen to remember how much I enjoy that person and feel the need to tell them? No. I was trying to get something that I wanted, which was them covering my shift. Now, I may have exaggerated in this example, but this is a very real behavior that we all have used.

Have you ever had a thought in your mind where it comes out of nowhere and hits you like a freight train? An idea so amazing that you’d stop at nothing to make it happen. A couple weeks ago we started a group project in English class called “Social Monsters”. Each group had to choose a “monster” that plagued the world today from a disturbing alphabet video. My group, me, Harvey and Ben, choose world hunger as our monster.

Power. There is nothing like the feeling of being in control of such a massive piece of machinery. I had longed for this feeling and finally I was able to grasp what everyone around me seemingly had for so long. I was driving.

The first leader that inspire me and motivate it was my first supervisor, Lucy. I was a brand new nurse and she make me feel as part of the team since the first day, she showed me empathy because she was concern about my feelings and expectations but at the same time she share her expectations as my supervisor. Lucy had great communication skills, she was always available to speak with anyone that has question or any issue; she communicate effectively the goals we need to accomplished but also the plan we need to follow. She was constantly in the unit asking to everyone how the day was going, and making sure we have all the equipment working properly. She was passionate about the care for the patients, she was able to teach me one

A leader is someone that believes in their vision as well as those they entrust to assist in the fulfillment of their vision. A good leader knows they cannot accomplish their goals alone and therefore are always developing others by equipping them to be leaders as well. My choice for leadership coaching is a gentleman who works at the hospital where my Aunt is a Registered Nurse. This gentleman has been a manager for their Critical Care Unit also known as Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for many years and holds a master degree, but he has recently been promoted to a leadership position as Hospital Administrator. This position is responsible for hiring, evaluating, recruiting and leading specialist doctors and nurses as well as consultant anesthetists,

It is most common for people to mention that their “grit” had developed during a fight to regain a position on a sports team or a committee they were involved in. Mine developed because of the loss of a position on a team, yes, but it wasn’t because I whipped myself into shape and conquered tryouts. Instead, mine developed on the base of a realization. A realization that, although I was passionate about the sport all of my life, it was no longer what I wished to do with my free time. The drive had dimmed down and it was time to move on to another passion that would follow me into adulthood. That passion had been unknown to me at the time, but what I did know was that I wanted to stretch my boundaries. I wanted to connect with more people in
