Importance Of Leadership

Importance of Leadership: Leadership is important. A team picks the leader of the group based on who they think would be the best fit. Leadership defines a relationship. Strong leadership skills can make or break the team and thus make or break the organization. An effective leader of a team focuses on the people skills and should try to get to know everyone. Without leadership, there would be no guidance and direction and everyone would start doing whatever they feel like. Leadership is needed to model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable others to act, and to encourage the heart.
My Favorite Leader: After careful thinking, I have decided that my favorite leader is the assistant manager at my work, Amanda Ciampi. …show more content…
The attributes of a good leader are to be honest, forward looking, inspirational, competent, driven to excel, emotionally intelligent, and courageous. I feel like Amanda is honest at Goldfish Swim School. She is always up front with people, never gossips, and helps fix people’s mistakes. I also feel that Amanda is forward looking. Like my example earlier about her wanting to come up with a raffle for the members, she is always thinking about the future and what is next and what needs to be done. For inspirational, I believe Amanda is this because she is someone to look up to. She is always at work on time with a smile on her face. She has no problems accomplishing work and helping out and I believe that these are things people should look up to her for. Competent means being able to do something successfully because you have the ability, knowledge, or skill. Amanda has her bachelor’s degree in Education and she decided to use that degree to be an assistant manager at Goldfish Swim School. She went to the Goldfish Swim School headquarters in Birmingham, Michigan for a couple weeks for management training so that she would have all the tools to be a successful manager. Amanda is also driven to excel because she knows what she needs to accomplish and she even has a checklist in her office so she does not forget a task. I do not personally know Amanda’s emotional intelligence score, but I know that she never seems stressed or frustrated and she seems to have a strong relationship with every single worker. Based on this, I would say she has a high emotional intelligence score. For courageous, I would say Amanda is courageous when dealing with difficult customers. Some customers can get to the point of full on screaming at you and not budging at all. It take a lot of courage to keep your composure and be able to deal with these customers and after walk away like nothing
