Same End Goal

Team work is needed in order to succeed. It is said in the guard world that “you are only as strongest as your weakest link” and I couldn’t agree more. That gave me the inspiration to help others when they were struggling as a leader.

Likewise, David believes he can improve his role as captain, so it’s evident that David believes that there is always a chance for improvement. He says, “ I know, Coach… I’ve learned a lot this year just by watching some of the pros. I think I'll be better next season,”(pg. 19). Based on this quote, it becomes apparent, that David won’t give up on drastically improving his leadership skills. 2.

A team or organization looks to the leader as someone the expert. A leader who is self-confident and enthusiastic has the ability to connect with the team. There is a level of trust being built because the leader believes in him/herself. There are times I second-guess or underestimate myself. A couple years ago I took an Emergency Medical Technician Basic course and during a practical test I was instructed to splint a hypothetical broken femur. I began the procedure and decided to start over halfway through the test because I doubted my skills. The instructor stopped me and instructed me to continue. After I completed the procedure the test instructor had told me that I had been doing the procedure correct the entire time and I need to be more confident in my

Throughout all of the tasks that I took part in, I believe that I performed well in some of them but then in others I could have performed much better. Throughout all of the tasks I believe that I participated as much as possible in order to get the tasks completed, participation was important for the team because of the limited numbers within the team, if I didn’t participate as much as possible then the team may have struggled to complete all of the tasks. I always try to participate as much as possible within all of the tasks, if I don’t then I feel like I have let the team down and could have done better

Looking for ways to improve the outcome of every situation from the smallest detail to the big picture is a way of life for outstanding leaders. They are respected and relied upon. Their past actions, integrity and trustworthiness has earned them the confidence of Officers and fellow Soldiers.

College athletes are being cheated out of millions of dollars every year, simple as that. For some reason we believe that college athletes are just “amateurs” and don’t need to be compensated for the hard work they do every day. The reason gigantic stadiums are constructed are to showcase the hard work and effort of college athletes. While everybody else around the athletes receives a good amount of money, the athletes don’t see any at all. Every day athletes risk a career ending injuries, which results in a loss of their scholarship, and a life full of pain and countless medical bills.

I am the leader so I think I should take more responsibility. I should always change our strategy for the games. In the real work, everything is relative. There is no such thing that can keep winning. I should also improve otherwise other people will do better than me. I think I will remember this lesson for my whole life.

During any type of team game there has to be some form of leadership. Whether that be from a captain, coach, or just more experienced players on that team. Nevertheless members of the team have to decide if they are a leader or follower. Personally being on a soccer team since a very early age I have come across what I believe to good and bad leadership from these figures on my teams.

Becoming a team captain has influenced me to set good examples for my team mates. As a result, I must learn to give before I can expect to receive something in return from those who I lead.

I fell short of owning my expectations and reflecting what a great leader appears to be, besides blaming other leaders for not providing that mentorship and guidance throughout my career. This was just an excuse to put blame on others when all alone I should’ve dug deeper and helped those leaders in a more effective way to point them in the right direction and learn from their mistakes. Are all leaders teachable and coachable after being in for many years and outranking you? No, but you must do your part to help shape the brother and sisterhood back to it’s

I do not have to think I am a leader to be one believe it and it will happen. I would like to lead others in the right way to be successful as their leader. Being focused and passionate in what you do it will take you along way. Collaborating with people I would be leading is a great way to understand their mindset of thinking and what they want in life. Always be professional while taking the spot of leading others.

Gender, race, and class has always been a big concept throughout the years. These three categories determined a person’s future years ago. If you were black, you grew up to be a slave and all of your relatives who lived before you, lived to serve as a slave. Then if you were a woman, it was against the rules to see a woman working in the same capacity/ role as men. Their work was more domestic in nature.

A leader should not hold all the power of leadership to themselves, but give it away to the team, because that is the only way to empower them. A good leader always take the blame, but never takes the credit, he gives that to the team. A team should be working together to achieve the goal while being united, like a family.

The leader said: ‘I do not see myself as a boss, I see the team as my co-worker, we all joining the team together to go to the same goal. I think it is important

An essay, An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, written by Chinua Achebe came from an amended version of the second Chancellor’s Lecture at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, February 1975; later publish in the Massachusetts Review, vol. 18, no. 4, winter 1977, Amherst. This essay is regarding to the racism that was used in Conrad’s novel, Heart of Darkness, and how it influenced the topic at hand of Achebe’s essay. Achebe was not happy when he noticed the racial remarks being used in the books and how no one really focused on them and wanted to fix the problems. Chinua was brave enough to write an essay, even after Conrad’s death, to express his opinions on racism in Heart of Darkness, but also remarks on other racial factors that happen in other countries. His main idea is to prove that racism is a problem and that “Joseph Conrad was thoroughgoing racist.” I agree with Achebe’s opinions because he uses a lot of evidence to support his claim, and by reading the actual novel, I too believe he is a racist because of the words that were used to describe the Africans’ appearance and their actions.
