Growing up, my younger cousins always looked up to me and did what I did, so being a leader meant teaching them what I found to be important qualities in a person. I have been a role model which I found to be exceedingly meaningful. I am apart of various leadership groups such as FBLA and FCCLA. FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America.

    Some of the points she made on leadership skills was that authentic leadership is important as opposed to just being a leader. I think she made a great point because someone can’t just be a leader because they feel the need to be one, great leaders will be authentic by ensuring that they are being leaders in a way that is natural not because they feel the responsibility to be one in the situation. Authentic leaders are better equipped to deal with others and inspire others to be more effective in their work and performance. This relates to the point we spoke about in class about “knowing yourself, identifying who you are and what you stand for- be who you are.” These two points relate because authentic leaders know who they and know what their…

    When it comes to values-based leadership, it is important to understand that as leaders we sometimes need to take a few steps back to self – reflect so that we can build awareness around our purpose as leaders. It’s important that with value-based leadership, we learn to collaborate with others in order to help people achieve their best. As leaders it is our obligation to show humility and gratitude. In the book, From Values To Action, Harry Kraemer is able to unpack this idea of authentic leadership and how as leaders it well within our right not to know everything and its okay to be comfortable with that as long as we know what we know and who we would need to seek out in order to understand what we don’t know. As a leader, doing the right thing as it aligns to your values is what makes leadership worth it.…
