Personal Reflection Of My Leadership Class

Throughout my life I have always strived to be a leader- whether it has been on the athletic field, in school, in clubs, in my community, or just at home. I have always had the will to lead, but lacked the traits to lead on a larger scale. I believe that this class can help get me over that hump to maximize my leadership potential. The first day we were asked to define leadership in this class and my personal definition was “a person who initiates activity and gets others involved in a way where they understand and are excited to work”. This definition describes me as an individual leader perfectly, but in this class I am looking to develop more leadership. I hope by the end of the class I can transform my definition of leadership to a more …show more content…
So far, it has been manageable, but it looks like it is starting to pile on now. All the planning, reading, and written assignments take a lot of time. The grading also seems tough so far, and I cannot get a B this year! I have to try my hardest to get the best possible grade, but it is going to be a lot of work.
The most challenging part of the class will be the main service project. It will be time-consuming and bring out my flaws, but will also be good for me and society. The challenge of coming up with the idea is already hard, but putting our plan into action, raising money, and analyzing the results make it even more challenging. I am excited for the challenge though! In this project I have to use my strengths as well as improve my weaknesses to become the leader I want to be. Overall, this class is going to be like a roller-coaster. There are going to be times where the class is fun during discussions or giving back through community service opportunities. There are also going to be times when it is hard, whether it is during the projects or even the reports. I have prepared myself to work hard and consistently push myself and strive to reach my full potential on all assignments and exams. I hope to expand my leadership skills as well as learning new skills that will help me succeed in future business

    Importance Of Family In Night By Elie Wiesel

    Family: Before this class, I knew the importance of family. I have grown up in a really loving home, and we all stick together pretty closely. I love them more than anything else in my life, and I would do almost anything for them. Through this class, though, I have enjoyed reading about the different family experiences that people have told of, and it has been inspiring to me. I have also realized how much my family and I take for granted, and it makes me so much more appreciative to be with them, and to be safe.…

    Al Capone Blueprint

    My first project was about Al Capone and he was a super fun person to learn about. I wrote an essay and made a blueprint of the Alcatraz cell house. A cool fact I learned was that Al Capone was responsible for putting expiration dates on milk bottles. Figuring out the project process was a bit hard at first, but as time continued to move it got a lot easier. When you figure it out it gets a lot easier.…

    Dedicating my time to teaching children, such as through babysitting and church activities, has taught me the benefit and strategy of successful leadership. However, I also demonstrate direction in the presence of short-term responsibilities, such as working effectively with my peers. As I become more comfortable with leadership opportunities, I find that I am striving to influence future generations. Since leaders share a variety of skills, it is important to analyze different leadership qualities, and consider that leaders offer influence in many different methods. Leadership can be directed with various approaches, but the strength of leadership accepts an array of diverse…

    Rhetoric Reflection

    The start of college classes has been a shock. I know you are overwhelmed with your Microeconomics and Calculus classes and the idea of Rhetoric is blocked out of your head. Even though you don’t want to think about Rhetoric, it is approaching soon and you need to be ready. One major thing that is different from Rhetoric and your high school English classes is you cannot just write your project or essay the night before it is due. But, there is no reason to be worried over it.…

    Leadership. Whenever this word comes to mind, I think of the qualities that it takes to be a leader: mentally strong, intelligent, and the ability to be a good overall person. Being a leader is a position that has many responsibilities that come along with it. While there are many challenges that a leader must face, overcoming these challenges and hardships can have some of the most rewarding results. Being a leader does not necessarily mean to lead a group of people.…

    Reflective Essay: My Role As An Educational Leader

    My leadership philosophy is one that is rooted in the strong belief that it must be a continuous quest to motivate all students to become critical thinkers, effective communicators, and lifelong learners, while possessing outstanding character.

    Leadership Scholarship Essay

    Leadership is a class I’ve always been interested in being a part of. Growing up, I was always taught to be a leader. My parents have always told me “You don’t choose to be a leader, you slowly evolve into a leader.” It’s always stuck with me and I’ve learned that I must set goals and go through struggles in life in order to learn from them. Those small things have allowed me to transform into the person that I am today.…

    Reflective Essay On Project Management

    Throughout the course, I learned different aspects of project management, and skills that can be used in the everyday life as long as involve interacting with other people. In this class I learned about how to be a better team member.

    The Reflection Of Leadership: An Introduction To Leadership

    Introduction As I reflect on this course and the results of the Questionnaires, Reflection, and Action Worksheets I have learned many aspects of leadership. I have analyzed the definition of leadership and now have a clearer understanding of it. According to, Introduction to Leadership; concepts and practice, by Peter Northouse (2015), leadership can be composed of many variables such as relationship, trait, ability, skill, behavior, and influence process. He also elaborates on how the “leadership of an individual can be used to influence a group to accomplish a common goal”. In addition, he discusses how leadership is not the same as management (Northouse, 2015, pp. 3-7).…

    Reflection: The Leadership Challenge

    Leadership is both a science and an art. Good leadership requires an accurate sense of self, a well-communicated vision, the ability to earn the trust of others and the capability to take effective action. In order to “build your house of leadership” your actions must inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more. (Duren, Lec. 2). Throughout the semester, I have learned that some of the five Kouzes and Posner leadership practices in The Leadership Challenge come naturally to me while others do not.…

    Being a leader is not an easy job. You have to put everybody before yourself. Leadership is more than just leading people in the right direction. Being leader doesn’t mean being the boss of everybody, that’s a completely different thing.
