I have been a part of a plethora of leadership roles, ranging from assorted tasks at work to simply being the one who takes charge in a group project for school. However, I believe the most prominent leadership roles i take on are at work. Perhaps one of my more influential roles at sobeys would be training new hires. In this role I exhibit many key characteristics such as establishing shared values and providing direction as well as setting clear guidelines and expectations. Other lessons I have learned through this job include the importance of leading by example, demonstrating confidence, being enthusiastic, having faith in the creativity of others, and providing effective feedback. As well as how to delegate tasks, and how to monitor progress
Leadership skills are vital for success and what better way to acquire them than through
I am a leader when it comes to multiple things. In my choir, I’m the section leader for the baritones. In group projects, I often take charge of planning the project in order to ensure that it gets done in the best way possible. One of the most notable times I took a leadership position was when I volunteered with a group of my NHS peers at the Hot Chocolate Run in downtown Chicago. As more and more people began to finish the race, the lines where we were serving hot chocolate became really hectic and crowded. I decided to take leadership and usher people into different lines, as well as tell everyone to have their tickets ready when they got to the counter, even though I was not told to do that. In doing this, I expedited the process of handing
Leadership is not only the ability to manage others and accomplish tasks, but also the ability to inspire others to gain the desire to do their best. I often help, and share knowledge with subordinates and peers alike in their pursuit of higher responsibilities. Because I lead by example, I have been able to help multiple Airmen become more mature, skillful, and motivated to take initiative to achieve higher responsibilities in their careers.
Being a leader allows you to inspire those around you it allows you to not only grow as a person, but, also allows you to grow as a mentor that can help others become better versions of themselves. An important leadership trait I possess is my emphasis on quality; I’ve never been the type of person that has
Learning how to be a leader in all types of situations has been one of the most important skills which I have acquired. The most important growth in my leadership skills was through 4-H where I served as President, 1st Vice President, and various other positions. I learned valuable public speaking skills from a lawyer who was teaching a public speaking class and was able to apply this in the various duties I undertook as leader of my club. Now I step into leadership roles with confidence, trusting my ability to work with and lead everyone in the group. When I join the scholars at the Hankamer School of Business, I will be able to fulfill any leadership positions necessary with confidence, whether it be in a small group or large group
Being a leader involves more than simply holding a title; it also entails setting an example for others, creating positive changes, and inspiring people to follow you. Whether it is organizing events, leading teams on projects, volunteering, or being a supportive team member, I am naturally adept at leadership. For instance, I am currently
The final example of leadership is being a counselor in training over the summer at camp. My duties’ for being counselor in training was to watch and take care of a group of kids during arts and crafts, and I also needed to feed the children breakfast and lunch. Another part of working as a counselor in training at summer camp taught me how to be a leader. I had always just followed what others did until I started taking the lead. I had to step out of my comfort zone and teach the little kids I was assigned to, there was no one really telling me what to do.
Being involved in everything I do, my leadership skills have developed naturally through experience. I can think creatively and critically and offer advice to others. Through past mistakes and other’s opinions, I have learned to make my failures into successes. Through many organizations and extracurriculars, I have gained many perspectives on various topics. For instance, at BAE Systems, I take part in hands-on learning with other students who are as dedicated as me. This allows me to learn new perspectives in a cooperative environment. We constantly communicate with each other, sharing our ideas on how to solve the task at hand.
Leadership has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have always found myself taking on leadership roles, whether it be by volunteering or coordinating different projects for the benefit of my school or community. Taking on leadership positions has allowed me to develop skills in communication, delegation, and managing multiple tasks and deadlines. As a member of National Honor Society and an officer of Student Council, I am presented with various opportunities to show my leadership skills. For example, I have been in charge of planning multiple pep assemblies for my school. Helping coordinate blood and canned food drives, angel trees, as well as organize an abundance of fundraising events has created a sense of reliability
Over the years, I have developed leadership skills as I performed increasingly difficult tasks. I started off, at 14, filling drink orders and replacing the ice buckets in concessions stands. After that, I advanced to taking orders, preparing food, and handling money. While working, I learned the value of money and respect while developing my people skills along the way. My job requires me to make important decisions in a fast paced environment and it always keeps me on my toes.
My leadership journey began at home, as with most things my parents gave me the first exposure. I learned by watching others, including the leaders and team members. The feelings the leaders and team have created for me, which included being yelled at and praised. Then with community organization such as girl scouts, sports team, and employment. During my working experiences I have worked with great leader and very poor ones. I had a supervisor who engaged me to take on more responsibilities in my roles as a teacher. When this supervisor spoke to with me, there was a level of awareness and presents. If a mistake was made, the attitude was of learning. Another supervisor, used an authoritative leadership style. This supervisor used her
I have many experiences with leadership experiences due to my participation in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). In FBLA I had to take a leadership role in a group project that we compete with. While I was the leader I influence others to get the project done and work together as a team. I made sure that we were all on track and that our assign tasks were being completed. When there was an issue I would try to help them and figure out what was happening. I would bring peace when there was arguments.
I have had many leaders I’ve followed over the years. An impactful experience was working for my brother. I was 20 and my brother 21 when I got a job for him as an automotive detailer. Up until that point I never looked at my brother as a leader. Over the year or two my perspective of him changed a lot, and I learned a great deal. These things came naturally to him. One thing I observed is how he consistently held his team accountable. So much so, if a coworker messed up. They would almost be afraid the consequence. On the other hand he also would acknowledge good work which showed respect. Over time I saw how the team progressed. Eventually my brother hardly even needed to be at work.
Having effective leadership not only inspires employees to reach their highest potential, but furthermore it is a good confidence builder. For instance, I live by certain leadership principles of knowing myself and seeking self-improvement, being proficient at my job, making informed decisions, leading by example, motivating my subordinates and keeping my subordinates current on any potential changes. My responsibility is to provide guidance and mentorship to motivate them to be the best they can be.
My personal experiences of leadership started when I was younger, roughly 7 years old, I was elected the captain of my travel soccer team. At the time I didn’t think much of it, nor did I have any extra duties that I was explicitly told that I needed to perform. Later throughout the season, I started to notice my teammates mimicking my styles and techniques and I highly enjoyed this feeling of being looked up to. I didn 't realize until years after that the recognition and pride I felt was leadership. This privilege of being captain was the first time I had realized that people weren 't necessarily following my actions because I was extraordinarily skilled, but because I provided this role model status with my confidence and encouragement. Some of the most valuable leaderships traits that I acquired and fortified are:
