HOSA Chapter And Honor Society Analysis

Improved Essays
The greatest leaders possess the ability to effectively support those who look to them for guidance. Leaders are placed in their position of power because they are trusted to carry out the will of the masses. The trait I possess that is essential to strong leadership is cooperation. History has proven the most effective and well-rounded leaders are those who compromise. Adapting personal beliefs to reflect the desire of others is the best quality of a leader, and my personal mantra for leadership. Serving as vice president for both my school’s HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) chapter and Honor Society presents many challenges. Specifically, compromise has helped me in our HOSA chapter. Fundraising, for example, is a vital part

    A final leadership attribute that I cherish is the ability to work with others, instead of working over them. When someone works over others, the job is not done as efficiently; however, when a leader works with other people, the job is completed on time with efficiency and care. I believe that this characteristic was most prevalent in my actions during my Eagle project, because instead of telling people what to do, I showed them what I believed was best for the project, and then worked with them until it was…

    It is essential to first take a look at the definition of leadership that Northouse (2013) has identified as practices is which one impacts and influences groups of people in order to accomplish a “common goal” (Sharp, 2015). In module one, Leadership Primer, Sharp explains that in order to be an effective leader, one has to be able to “reach out and engage other people as followers” (2015). This becomes a common goal amongst leaders; however, various approaches and theories base an individual’s leadership ability on different processes. The trait approach explains leadership as assigned and inborn characteristics and argues that all leaders share the same traits such as intelligence and extraversion (Northouse, 2013). On the other hand, the skills approach explains leadership in terms of emergent skills that anyone can develop in order to become an effective leader (Northouse, 2013).…
