Personal Statement: Non-Profit Management

Leadership is all about having the right amount of heart and determination to help make a difference in someone’s life. It takes certain qualities to be considered a good leader. A leader should want to help inspire others to make a change and to be the best that they can be. A true leader does not need to feel powerful, instead they empower those around them. Throughout my life I have come across various leaders who have made an impact on my life. It takes a very special person to inspire and touch people’s lives. Leadership is so much deeper than having power and bossing people around.

A good leader should be an honest person. They should have confidence and must be a good communicator. They should push others to do a good job and have a passion to make the company grow. A good leader should be able to make decisions and have accountability.

I have seen many colleagues burnout within two years of working for large nonprofits because of high stress, cold systems, lack of appreciation, and bad managers. Despite their passion for the people they serve, these forces were strong enough to quench that spirit.

A leader is an individual who has the tools that would motivate and encourage others to follow them and listen. Having these tools help complete tasks that needs to be manage in a smooth operation.

Can you explain what it means to be a leader? Being a leader is a very important job you need to have all the good skills and qualities you need, to be honest with your team so if something wrong happens you can admit to it and make your team trust you. Communication if you don't communicate with your team you're going to get nowhere, you need to speak directly to them make sure they understand you. E.G. A Football match (Soccer) you have your Captain (Leader) your Captain must lead you to make sure you're in your position keep all of the players motivated to keep playing so tackle the player or to run with the ball and strive to seek your goals.

Henry Ford, the creator of the Ford Motor Company, was one of America’s great leaders. He has been viewed as one of America’s greatest innovators and entrepreneurs (Entrepreneur's Hall of Fame: Henry Ford). Before Henry Ford created the Ford Motor Company, he had made a hobby of fixing pocket watches. When he was 16, he decided to stop doing farmwork and became an apprentice for a machinist in Detroit. Henry Ford was a born leader: determined, able to take risks, and he believed in equality in the workplace.

Being a leader does not always mean that you are the owner of a fancy title, know the most information or have the ability to recite policies and procedures.

What makes someone a leader? The ownest answer is that there is no one answer exists in this world, without a doubt everyone has their own definition of the word. To me a leader is someone who is well educated , brave , and someone with basic communication skills. A leader whom is not well educated is not a good leader. Foremost it's as if the blind leading the blind across a busy highway, of course some may make it but the majority will not. A leader needs to have some sort of bravery, Whether they are in combat with their brothers in arms needing to move forward, or even some chef adding white chocolate to a soup to add a sweet element to it. Lastly, a leader needs to be able to communicate with their followers. Someone with social anxiety should not be leading a feminist leader for a convention. All of these thing makes someone a leader.

It takes a lot of work and different types of skills to be a leader like Being able to connect with others, Having the right qualities and of course they would need to inspire others.

As a leader one should feel comfortable at social events, interpersonal relationships, have a high internal locus of control and show concern for current real-life human problems.

There are different styles and ways of performing leadership and a good leader has the ability to take ordinary people, put them all together, and hopefully yield successful results. For organizations to have sustained results from their performance there must be a good balance of business insight, technical and interpersonal skills, and good team dynamics. A leader must know how to use all these areas as well as trust and communicate with their people in
