Praise Of Slowness

Your post is solid and has the right amount of detail. Robert Greenleaf’s belief that good leaders must first be good servants is germane. Clearly, unselfishly developing, guiding, nurturing, and leading others is a foundation of servant leadership and attributes of humbleness and humility are guiding principles. As you suggested, focusing on the needs of others can create greater clarity and help develop one into a better leader.

Fifteen weeks in the Business Introduction class, I learned how to become a leader with the guidances of, “The Student Leadership Challenge:Five Practices For Becoming An Exemplary Leader”, Student Leadership self assessment, Myers Briggs Type Indicator results, and SWOT analysis. From all the readings and assessments, A leader to me is someone who is able to set a positive example to their peers but also capable of receiving feedback. Leaders make

However in order to become a greater leader I am willing to accept this learning challenge and list “the great ‘I am’” five times. I am a trustworthy person, I am an excellent listener, I am extremely respectful of other people, I am very encouraging of other people’s ideas and I am a strong believer of do what makes you happy. “From self-knowledge, Lombardi believed, we develop character and integrity” (Kerr, J. 2013), where from “character and integrity comes leadership” (Kerr, J. 2013). So if I continue to appreciate my own personal values then this should start to guide me in the right direction of being a great leader.

“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.” This quote by Zao Tzn captures the attributes I aspire to demonstrate as a leader. As a leader, I want to encourage and inspire others to be the best that they can be.

following is my personal insight on leadership and how I feel we can successfully guide

After careful consideration, I have chosen to simply self-improve myself financially, emotionally, and physically. By improving these three aspects of myself I will be a more confident transactional servant leader

That to grow as a person, you need to be nurtured and groomed by the leaders to branch out from their teachings and apply them to any situation. I plan to show my honestly in everything that I do, that to communicate effectively there needs to be a channel to communicate. My accountability, that I am not shy to own up to a problem that my team or I created and rectify the situation. Conversely, my bluntness, that if there is a problem or miscommunication happening, it’s in everyone’s best interest to stop it as soon as I can. Also, my attention to detail will make sure that I do not miss important concepts or ideas that leaders should exhibit. Overall, I plan to bring a fresh perspective to the program and be a leader of people who assume they cannot achieve greatness. That even though the past is forever, the future is uncertain and the present is a way station on your trip to your

For me, ideas to take from Simon’s lecture is a challenge. I truly do not see myself being a leader. I feel intimidated by others for their lack of support. I do not try to lead when asked to do something. I have the same mentality as Capt. William, I just do it because I want to ‘do to others as they would do to you’. It was difficult with the Organizational Behavior course team. At first the online thing was great. Age factor did not matter. We are all on the same page. But as time went on, I did not feel the cohesiveness of a team as I would like. Our communication styles seemed

I will continue to inspire patients, co-workers, and colleagues to achieve the unexpected. Empower my team and future students to stand up and make changes that will improve the quality of care provided to the patients they serve and the communities in which they live. Describe your vision of leadership in social work education and indicate how you see yourself implementing this vision as an educational

I have learned a lot from the service learning project, I think that I can be used in my classes in the future. I have learned a lot about looking at individual’s strengths and adapting the process to fit their needs instead of hoping that the individual will change. I think that I could still improve upon this for the future, because it can be such a complicated task to do. From watching how upfront Melissa was about her expectations for the project, I learned how I need to be in future group projects if I were going to be the leader. To become a high performing team, I need to say my own expectations from the start.

This course has taught me many things about leadership and management in the work place. I have learned that it is extremely important that a leader understand his employees and how certain leadership styles will work more or less effectively on that particular person. Leaders influence people to work to achieve the organizations objectives, so it is vital that a leader has vision for the organization so they can effectively steer the organization down that path. As an employee for Texas Tech Athletics, I have the privilege of working under great leaders while I attend school. By playing sports for my whole life, and with my various work experience I have seen many leaders in action. I have developed my own style of managing and leadership that draws from each of the people who have influenced me. I would consider myself to be a democratic leader. A democratic leader encourages employee participation in decisions, works with them to determine what to do, and doesn’t supervise them closely. I believe as a leader you set the standard of what it means to work hard, effectively, and efficiently. To be an effective leader, you need feedback on what you’re doing, so you can make improvements. By allowing employees to participate in decision-making processes they feel empowered to work and feel like they are contributing to the success of the organization. A leader also shows his employees what to do, by showing them how to properly achieve what I have set as a standard; I need to

I now have some great tools I saw the leader use that I will continue to use. The meeting somewhat incorporated my goals. One of my goals was to focus on how an admission to the hospital affects a patient’s home life. During this exercise patients touch on how they are trying to change their thinking when it is too emotional or reasonable. They gave examples of what is going on in some of their lives, and how they can use this way of thinking to tackle problems outside of the

Following these concepts for the next three to five years will ensure that I attain the goal of being a team leader and be perceived as such by my subordinates, peers and supervisors. As a team leader I will have the skill set to accomplish the mission and be able to take care of the needs of my work center and also be able to hold my work center

Lastly the person I am and why I am this way. It’s funny; I had never taken so many questionnaires’ and studies in five weeks than in the last ten years. Was it a bit tedious? Yes. Was it a pain in the butt? Oh yeah. But doing these really open my eyes on why I act the way I do and other act the way they do. It is astonishing of how many studies; we’re made and taken just too clarified of why people are the way they are. Learning the entire different model’s DISC, MBTI, Stress test, LPI is just some of the tools I have learned. By implicating what I learn will make me a better leader and

What being a leader means to me encouraging others in addition to serving as a role model to influence positive behaviors in a community. I have come to the conclusion that there are over a thousand problems that I may face my life time, but there is a solution to every last single one of them. To begin with I worried a ton about what kind of lifestyle I would have after I graduated high school within the last five years I have realized that my life will not get any better if I don’t invest in myself now. Investing in myself will allow me lead others I do enjoy working at Publix but I truly believe God has bigger plans for me. I don’t have a best paying job nor were there not a ton of higher career opportunities opening up for me due to my
