Reflection Paper In Leadership

Starting on May 24th, the Ranger Institute came up from North Carolina and taught us a variety of essential skills and lessons for us to know before we entered the field. The group was informative and had us start off the first half of the morning with leadership and communication games and activities, so we could get accustomed to each other. These were great ice breaker activities and got our blood pumping. All the games we participated in, we got into each others personal bubble and had quite a bit of laughs.

When we think about what a leader and manager is, most of us will use the same meaning. But in actual fact this is incorrect. We have to look at these two terms differently. What is a manager? A manager is someone who is responsible for directing and controlling the work and staff of a business, or of a department within the organization. So what is a leader? A leader is someone whom people follow, somebody who guides or directs others. Looking at both terms they both are very different. The question is always asked is a manager can be a leader and leader a manager. The true answer is managers are not always leaders, while leaders can be

Participate in a leadership weekend is one of my passion to travel the world to experience the many people with whom I share this planet. My travels will help me understand the needs of different cultures and raise my awareness of various ways to engage communities. Another reason why I wish to attend in this Leadership Weekend is I see this will provide me very essential opportunity to expand and build my communication, confidence skills by interact with other people. As matter of fact, one of my future goal or dream is to sever my native country (Tibet), which is occupied by China government right now and people are suffering not having freedom of speech, freedom of religious and my younger fellow Tibetan brothers and sisters not getting equal right accessing model educations, which cause

I took something away from the different sources of power. Power is the capacity of potential to influence. Power can corrupt good leaders. Power, by its nature, it is powerful and tasteless like carbon monoxide. The more powerful one becomes, the more likely we are to overestimate our own mental virtue. There is position, power and personal power. Power can be more deadly than drugs. Many leaders allow power to go to their heads. They forget what and who was important to them. They allow power to consume them.

Goal Two: Find staff who are providing exceptional care to patients and publicly recognizing one person per week by placing a note on the staff bulletin board stating who was “Caught Being AWESOME!”.

Having spent four years at Garrett- Evangelical, I have been introduced to different kinds of theologies. My theological education has broadened my whole concept about understanding theology. It has resonated with me at different times for

What insights have I gained about my role as an educational leader from these chapters?

I spent many hours designing the “perfect” retreat, focusing the training on leadership and time management skill building. Driving to the retreat that morning, the Lord spoke clearly to me that all of the opportunities He blessed me with in my secular career were “…for such a time as this.” (Esther 4:4) With new motivation, I began to seek opportunities that would stretch me personally, teaching me to rely on God to give me the tools to complete the tasks He had called me to do. This has led to positions in MOPS regional field leadership, in the role of Area Coordinator for Operation Christmas Child, as a Small Group Coach at my church, as well as a position on our Community Outreach Ministry’s Advisory Team. Over the past year, the Lord has begun calling me to go deeper into the study of His word. It has long been on my heart to finish my college degree, but it was only recently that I felt a clear vision of what the Lord intends for me to make my focus of study. Because my desire to achieve a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies is coming from a direct calling from the Lord, my motivation has a higher level of

In examining my experience during the recent Cohort Intensives held at Payne Theological Seminary (PTS) in Wilberforce, Ohio, I was quite intrigued with how all of the scholars and guest speakers reinforced many of the initiatives I have already implemented in the context of my own ministry. Likewise, my time spent in class with my Cohort mentors Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie and Rev. Dr. Kenneth S. Robinson was both scholastically and spiritually invaluable.

If one has no leadership ability, one cannot be a leader. If one does not make what his or her followers consider the correct decisions to achieve their goals, no one will have faith in the leader's abilities and, consequently, no one will follow and without followers, there can be no leader. Another important criterion which one must have in order to be a leader is a person who leads a crowd in the direction where the goal can be accomplish as well as someone who acknowledges a problem and finds solutions to it.

The Legacy Leadership course has given me the opportunity to read several books, watch several videos, and

Prior to attending the Business Internship course, my knowledge and understanding on successful business leaders was very limited. Although I had heard of countless success stories in business, I had never actually understood what it took to achieve such measures of success. However, it wasn’t until we had the privilege of hearing from four different business magnates in weeks 6 -9. Each of the business leaders gave an hour’s seminar and which was aimed at providing insights into their personal lives, working experiences and the core essence of 21st century business leadership.

In class, so far, we have discussed many different topics about leadership. One being different leadership theories. The one that I feel most represents the leader I want to be in the future is servant leadership. When we discussed servant leadership it was defined as this leadership model is based on the leader and the followers wanting to serve others. Basically, this means the servant leader you put your focus on the needs of others before your own. The followers goal is to serve clients and the leader’s goal is to serve the employee and implement the organization mission statement. The leader supports other employees by noticing their goals and provide the proper support to help them reach those goals. This

This course has helped me prepare for ministry in the twenty-first century by enlightening me in areas and categories I knew nothing about. Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children”. Knowledge is powerful, and the desire to obtain it, especially when it’s conducive to our walk of faith should be something we strive to achieve daily. There are several areas in ministry, and church affairs that I have a general knowledge of now, after taking this course.
