The Shaping Of The Type Of Leader I

When I was younger I failed myself and my family when I got held back a grade because I was not showing any progress in any of my subjects. I lost all of my friends, they began to talk bad about me because they thought I was not as Intelligent as they were. This effected me emotionally, I begged my parents not to hold me back a grade and to let me stay with my friends but my parents being tough said no, because school isn't about being close with friends, its about learning and making something of yourself. I learned a very important lesson the day I got held back a grade and that is to never give up and to strive to be the best in anything I do. I also learned that friends come and go, and that I can make more friends. I started studying every

There are many different types of leaders in many different leadership roles. Each leader must make a decision on exactly what type of leader they wish to be. There are many skills and traits that all leaders share. There a few skills and traits are what set the different types of leaders’ apart from each other. Once a person has decided what type of leader they wish to be, they should do everything in their power to act and talk like that type of leader. As you will see by the answers below, I was destined to be a servant leader.

Leadership is, and always has been, a vital aspect of social and economic constructs. It is essential to the survival of societies, industries, organizations, and virtually any group of individuals that come together for a common purpose. However, leadership is difficult to define in a single, definitive sense. As such, theories of leadership, what constitutes a great leader, and how leaders are made have evolved constantly throughout history, and still continue to change today in hopes of improving upon our understanding of leadership, its importance, and how it can be most effective in modern organizational cultures.

It is easy to presume that that person is in the position they are in because of money, connections or an extraordinary intellect. We may suppose that any adversity or problems that this type of person has encountered are on another level to those that we face. Perhaps we don't imagine that there were private obstacles to overcome, personality traits that needed adjustment or adaptation, that private insecurities or personal failings had to be surmounted. It is simplest to assume that the role of leadership was cut out for him/her alone. More often than not, one imagines that the "leader" in an individual emerges early on in life, apparent from an early age: a bright child with above average intelligence, active in all walks of life, successful in anything that he puts his/her hand to, popular with peers and admired by elders. But nothing is that simple.

In Sator Sanchez Elementary School I flunked 3rd grade and the event changed my life and how I see my education. The most vivid image was when I was in the gym crying after getting the news. First, I believed I learned that I was going to repeat the grade by reading the envelope they gave us, which had our last report cards in them. It didn’t hit me till I entered the gym, which also acted like a waiting area for the busses. On my way there I was thinking about what it would mean. That my childhood friend Melisa, my “cousin” Jerry and the few friends I had would proceed to the next grade while I get left behind, I ended up not seeing almost all of them ever again. While the prospect of not seeing the people I grew up with terrified me, the reason made my confidence took a great blow, I also thought that I was pretty stupid for flunking.

My failure helped me understand not only what I did wrong, but also it helped me understand myself better. I realized that it was not truly my wish to be a member of the Honor Society, I was doing that to please my parents, my friends and my previous teachers. I learned to be myself, despite the situation and be humble, without studying even if you have the potential you will not achieve anything, success is ninety nine percent hardworking and one percent perseverance, it requires effort. After crying in front of hundred students I finally got the strength to be myself no matter what, I became emotionally stronger and overcame my shyness, or part of it. The embarrassment of my failure not only made me the smartest girl in my school, but also

During that time, I struggled in all my classes as evidence by my grades and befriended one person who soon quit college. When I returned to my hometown, I lost connection with most of my friends, and to my family and past teachers, I felt like a failure because I was failing at the societal expectation of perfection. However, the more I thought about my shortcomings, the more I began realizing that this was my problem. The world expected perfection, and no one could ever be that but failing be so was causing me unnecessary stress. This realization was my first step towards coping because it provoked me to adopt a more realistic perspective. I began accepting my shortcomings, and dedicated less time worrying about them and more time toward realistically improving

Everyone will encounter failure on their way to success. Without failure, we cannot grow and succeed – it teaches us how to improve ourselves. In history, for example, Abraham Lincoln went through many failures before becoming one of the United States’ greatest presidents. He was demoted quickly in the military and lost many elections in his career, but continued to work until he had risen to presidency (Wilson). Another example is J.K. Rowling, the famous author of the Harry Potter series. She went through many struggles in her life, each time adjusting and eventually working her way up to huge success and wealth (Gillet). In her book, Very Good Lives, Rowling describes how to embrace failure and improve yourself. There are many other well-known people in history with similar experiences. Walt Disney was fired for a lack of imagination, Sir Isaac Newton failed to run his farm, Thomas Edison was fired several times for being unproductive, and Albert Einstein had difficulty in school – all of these people and many more, at some point of their life, encountered failure and had to learn to accept it to achieve success. In my experience, this also applied in school. Although I always went for the highest grades, there were some times when I had a string of low grades. I learned to accept failure and learn from it, along with adjusting to change, to work my way back up to success in

Failure is how I learn to better myself despite its negative outcome, I always manage to alternate its impact on me because I know that it is only temporary. It was essential to never let failure restrain me from my own success. For example, my senior year in high school was very stressful primarily because of my calculus class which I was dreadfully failing. Each time I failed a test or quiz, it motivated me to try harder and keep going until I attained better results. Eventually, my hard work and dedication paid off and I was able to successfully graduate high school with a passing

Failure sometimes is necessary to realize how one has to change who they are. For me that moment came toward the end of my sophomore year. I received my last report card for the academic year, and I noticed my atrocious grades. The results shocked me, and for the first time I was truly disappointed in myself.

The lessons we learn from failure will help us achieve success later in life. My experience in seventh grade in not making the volleyball team was, at the time, the hardest thing that I had gone through. In the weeks that followed tryouts, it was that failure that led me to discover what I am good at and, in turn, being successful from it. Not making the team helped me become a better soccer player and taught me that success in one thing can come from failure of another.

Everyone fails, and it's solely up to you if you want that failing experience to make you or break you as a person. Failure isn't always a bad thing, you need to failure in order to succeed as a person. I've failed many times throughout my life, its a detriment indeed but I've grown and learned from my mistakes. The biggest failing experience I've been through was failing my freshman year of high school. My mentally about school during this time wasn't great, like most teenager I hated school and thought it was a waste of time. I would never go to class I was also very impetus with my work, my grades were never higher than D's.

Before taking this course, I was under the assumption that people were either born leaders or they weren’t. Through learning from authors like Robert Quinn, James Hunter, and many others, I have realized that developing into a leader is a process that anyone can submit themselves to, regardless of background. Looking at the examples of Jesus and other famous leaders has helped me realize what this process of becoming a leader looks like.

Paul Ryan, current Speaker of the House, holds an antithetic leadership style to solve issues in the future of congress. However, it is not a new form of leadership we have seen in politics. Paul Ryan is a Republican and the Republicans do currently have power in the Senate and House of Representatives. Clearly though, the Republican Party is divided and struggles to solve current issues in congress. Currently this is due to collective action issues such as, the need for information, time, and coordination currently in Republican Party. What Paul Ryan has done to solve these issues so far is, unify republicans, and at the same time solve collective action issues and other problems thus far by giving congressional committees the power to achieve these issues.
