Personal Statement : Manager And Leader

As a sophomore I recognize that I have a lot to learn in order to be a successful businesswomen. I am eager to continue my journey of becoming a smart, confident, respected leader and in order to further develop these traits I know that I need to gain experience. Experience can mean learning specific skills or learning about new people and lifestyles. This program will allow me to do both.

These are the three jobs that I would like to do. I chose these jobs because I think they have a big part on our community. They are also things I enjoy and like to do. I am proud of to be a part of them.

First, about my past leadership skills were understanding and gaining knowledge from people. When I was a child, I would always look up to my father and mother as role models to help lead a family together. Both of my parents gave me positive reinforcement in school and out of school so I can be successful in life. I have also taken an interest in

How can a person become a successful leader by being humble? Dr. Steven Riser (2004), writes in his book Cultivating Christian Convictions, a person can become humble by remaining true to his God-given convictions. Todays’ professions are changing. They are not as integritized as they once were in the past. In fact, they are sensibly drama shows displaying mostly false characters. When I was, a kid watching television shows,

Is a leader as defined in the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, merely one who leads - synonymous with a boss? Or something more? I believe that a leader is much more than that and can be defined in any number of ways. In attempting to define a leader personally, I will use both myself and others as examples.

Managers are leaders, leaders are managers, these concepts have long been thought to be synonymous. Ideally, for a manager to be good, the former is the case, but this is not always the case. Further, one doesn’t have to be a manager to be a leader. Anyone can be a leader. They are the people who exhibit superior interpersonal qualities that allows them to create connections to obtain a desired outcome; these are informal leaders (Sullivan). Everyone knows that one or two informal leaders, the people you just get behind and follow because they are so charismatic and influential. They don’t stand up to be recognized, they simply do it, as it comes natural to them. Managers on the other hand are placed in a position of power by an organization

My life has been impacted immensely through my experience as a lifeguard and swimming instructor for the City of Ottawa. I have had a passion for aquatics ever since I was a young child, and remained committed towards my goal of completing various courses and certifications in order to obtain the lifeguard and swimming instructor position that I hold now. I work approximately thirteen hours a week at this job, on top of the hours I commit to my two other jobs. Aside from my paid employment, I have learned to manage my time effectively in order to participate in numerous extracurricular activities, as well as to maintain strong academic performance. As a swimming instructor, I am expected to prepare weekly and long range lesson plans for the

While I attended Wichita State University for my bachelors of Social Work, I was afforded the opportunity to participate in a leadership program two consecutive years. We learned tips on strategies to become more effective leaders. Whenever I participate in activities that require me to take a leadership or supervisory role, I tend to think of what I learned in the program. The conflict that I identified as a supervisor in this activity was mainly that we had a student with erratic behavior, with firearms at home, and a mother who not only, saw nothing wrong with it, but wanted him removed from public school and is largely uncooperative with the school regarding his psych eval.

Hello, I am Kishel Stubbs, an adaptable student who has been consistently praised for producing quality work by both my professor and employers.

I worked as an assistant manager at a dry cleaners, Sky Cleaners, from July 2013 - December 2015 where I demonstrated the ability to work in a fast paced open environment. I worked on both discount days where activity in the store was higher than usual and I was consistently taking and fulfilling

When practicing humility in a position of leadership, it is often believed that your skills and talents go unnoticed, that you are underestimated, or that you may end up as a follower. True humility is not looking down on yourself or thinking less of yourself, but rather thinking of yourself less. A humble leader views themself as a constant learner, rather than someone who thinks they knows it all. They will give other people credit, admit their wrongdoings, and actively listen to feedback. I perceive a humble person to be one who is confident and knowledgeable about their own skills, talents and strengths while maintaining a modest attitude.

During the last six weeks, I have learned a lot about the true meaning of a good leader. The discussions have helped me identify what my strengths are and what are the areas that I need to improve on. Although, I have been in management roles, I would not identify myself yet as a leader. I am a very result driven individual which is strength of mine, but that can also lead me to be desensitized to other’s emotions or challenges they might be facing. Throughout the course, I have also come to realize that I have limited self-awareness. On the contrary, one of my strengths is my social awareness. I have the ability to go into social or networking events and pick up on emotions, or facial expressing to understand the overall mood of that environment. To be socially aware is particularly beneficial because, I can find common ground with anyone I meet to initiate conversation. Therefore, when I see that person again, I can make those personal connections. Another one of my strengths is the ability to look at a current process and streamline it to a leaner, more effective and efficient way. During the last several years I have been hired to be the visionary of new divisions and to implement processes that would support the company’s vision and mission while still driving results. My values are what contribute to the success I have been able to achieve over the years, however. My resilience and work ethic towards my job shows through in the

According to Schwartz (1997), Goizueta joined Coca-Cola at a time when the company was in trouble. Slowed by bureaucracy and with an eroding stock price, the beverage maker was slowly loosing its market share to rivals like Pepsi. An inspirational leader, Goizueta was able to turnaround the beverage maker and before his exit, the company had become one of the most recognizable brands in the world. His managerial style as Rowe and Guerrero (2010) point out was more intellectual than hands-on.
