Starting From The Beginning Of Semester, I Was Told To

We had to set an example for our peers around us and for the students that were younger than us. Leadership was taught to me by my teachers and my parents. They set the standard that I will always try to reach. Being like them will always be a goal of mine. My high school offers a leadership class that I decided to take during my senior year. Learning more about being a positive and reliable leader was something I knew would be beneficial to me before going out into the real world. Leadership class was full of the best leaders that our school has, and people who wanted to learn more about the traits that make someone a leader. From week to week, I was taught the value of being a leader and the significance of possessing those traits. Leadership class turned out to be a very positive experience, and it gave me many of the skills and traits that I will continue to carry with

I have always known I love change, but from this class, I learned change is the hallmark of a leader. As John C. Maxwell says in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, “Growth = Change.”The leadership assessments allowed me to understand myself in a new way. Because I am a curious green thinker, I need explanations and answers to understand my world. I tend to see the big picture of a project and my mind motivates me toward something new or improved. I am curious about new opportunities because I easily become bored with routine. Learning I have these characteristics has increased my confidence to pursue future leadership roles in a small to a mid-sized position.

The interview was scheduled a month in advance and the interview questions were shared with the leader ahead of time (see Appendix). This allowed the leader to think about how she wanted to answer the questions. When the leader was asked to participate in the interview she was humbled by the request and enthusiastically agreed to take part. The interview questions were geared towards understanding leader’s leadership style and attributes as it relates to the leadership theories and the LEADS framework. The interview was conducted in leader’s office, lasted approximately 45 minutes and recorded with leader’s consent. The atmosphere during the interview was relaxed, the leader was open to answering the questions and the answers seemed

The individual I chose to interview is Mrs. Felicia Colbert. She is a current assistant principal at my school. Mrs. Colbert’s experience familiarity extends from a classroom instructor to instructional educators as an assistant director. Her capability surpasses 15 years of service in and out the core content of science. Her experience in administration includes two years at middle school level and five years at a high school level as an assistant principal. I designated Mrs. Colbert as my professional to interview because I recently completed my administrator practicum under her supervision. Throughout those six months as an intern, I got to analyze just how much of an expert she is in administration leadership. Therefore,

Impact of Interview on Instructional Leadership Style: After interviewing Holt, I realize I have a long way to go to be where she is in regards to instructional leadership at an elementary school level. Most of my background is secondary, and it’s a whole different ball game at the secondary level. However, the principles are the same. Administrators need to know what is going on in the classrooms and that happens by jumping in and working alongside your colleagues. The instructional leader of the school should not require anything the leader is not willing to do themselves. I need to be in the classrooms demonstrating appropriate instructional strategies. “You can’t lead where you won’t go!” I believe the leader must state expectations explicitly including, working together as a team, share my “craft knowledge” with colleagues, and help my teachers any way I can. If I can build trust, be generous and helpful as the instructional leader with teachers, then that enrichment will carryover into relationships between teachers and students, and students and students. I like Holts attention to detail in having her teachers sit down with each child before SAGE testing to discuss the data specific to the child, it gives the child direction and purpose enabling them to be successful on

Over the course of this semester, I have learned about the theoretical foundation of leadership and management. From various leadership styles to numerous learning tools have all aided in shaping me to become an effective leader not only in the health care profession, but everyday life as well. Through utilizing these tools, I have managed to put them into actions through working individually and in teams which has helped me to learn more about myself and the type of leader I am. Throughout this action plan I will reflect on my definition of leadership, what I’ve learned about myself in the capacity to demonstrate leadership, my leadership strengths and weaknesses and three action steps that will help me to develop my leadership in the future.

I can state it was truly my pleasure to interview Shawn Bristle, Bullhead City Campus Dean of Mohave Community College. He has a unique sense of humor, that made me feel comfortable right from the start, therefore I asked permission to record the interview, due to the fact that my note taking skill has a lot to be desired, he inquired if anyone else would hear the conversation so he would be able to tease me throughout the process. Which, in fact, set me at ease and comfortable with my task, and demonstrating him as a leader with human skills as defined in (Northouse, 2016, p. 44). Shawn has worked in a position of leadership for the past 14 years, climbing the ladder within the institutional hierarchy system, to where he has held his current position for the past seven years.

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

This leadership course has taught me to the importance of leadership and what it means to be a leader. That leadership is something that is learned and developed over time. To set goals and encourage those who are involved in accomplishing the goal. Being a leader more than just having follower, but to have enthusiasm, courage, humility, and integrity. This course have also helped me understand how to not only apply leadership to my personal life but to the working atmosphere.

This week's assignment helped me to understand more about the meaning of leadership and what it takes to become a true leader. It might sounds discouraging; however, I have known I am not the material to

This Leadership Theory and Practice class was not at all what I expected it to be, which is great. I had heard of other people who had taken this class previously with different professors and how all they did was write papers and honestly, hardly learned anything about leadership. This class thankfully had an easy work load which helped with my senioritus, but still challenged me to think about different leadership styles, concepts, and what it truly means to be a leader. I was able to hear the views of many other people especially those who were also in the class, but also from the different people we had interviewed for the assignment we had to present on. I learned a lot about leadership and I learned a lot about myself in a leadership

I am enrolled in the SFSU Administrative Credential program through SFSU and am wondering if you would be willing to participate in my final project. The guiding question for the project is, “What does it take to be a successful leader?” My goal is to create a slide presentation with all of the MCOE administrators’ responses to this question. I am hoping that you could capture your response in one sentence. You can either email your sentence or I can schedule a time to meet with you and write it down. I would also like to include a picture of you (if possible). You can either provide me with a picture or I could take one. I would like to have all responses collected by next Friday, December 9th. Please let me know if you are willing to participate

Before this class, I had a very primitive and vague definition of leadership. Not only did I define it as per my views and ideologies, but I also said that each individual has their own definition of leadership. My initial belief was that leadership does not have a clear cut definition, but there were well defined leadership traits which made an individual. I also initially believed that personal traits did not translate into leadership traits with no strong correlation. After going through the various modules this class offered, it is safe to say that I have significantly redefined leadership and underwent a strong personal assessment. This paper talks what I took back from each of the class activities, assignments and how my self-assessment compares to the perception of others.

It is hard to quantify what I have learned in the semester of Leadership because the courses focus was not about memorizing data, but rather learning about having the will to lead and finding the courage to make it happen. A majority of the information I learned from this course came from learning about myself. Through readings, course activities, and various projects, I learned what makes a great leader, but more importantly what traits I possess that will make me a great leader. In order to be a great leader, one must have an understanding of what leadership is. Leadership is a social influence (Stogdill, p. 25). It means leaving a mark. It is initiating and guiding, and the result is change. Leading is the result of your passion coming to life.

When I first started teaching, I was told to think of a teacher who truly made me feel special. When asked to reflect on powerful leaders, I was able to remember the people who have truly modeled for me true leadership. In my academic career, I can only think of one leader who has made me excited for what was to come. My college principal, Julianne Malvueax was the most outspoken, ambitious and engaging leader I’ve known. In the week 4 discussion, I recalled describing the feeling of overall joy and excitement I felt when listening to her speak. Whenever she entered a venue, you could feel the electricity in the room. When students left her presence, we knew we wanted to change things. We knew that we were an integral part of the institution’s mission and she reminded us of this constantly. After thumbing through the resources, I realize that Malvueax was an effective leader. Not only did she get us excited, the goals she set for our institution were clear. We knew what she expected from us as
