I believe that leadership is not about one person dictating, but rather that it is a team effort. As I participate in activities where I am the leader, I make sure that I work with my peers and listen to their ideas in hopes that we can join together to devise a creative plan of action. Through my experiences as an editor on the yearbook, captain of the JV Volleyball Team and SWAT Travel Team I believe that I demonstrate the NHS ideal of leadership. Being a member of the volleyball team has taught me a lot about unity. I try to bring what I learn on the courts to everyday life.…
I want to be in Leadership because I want to improve my skills and help others to do the right thing. Set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Become like an explorer, cutting a path through the jungle for the rest of his group to follow. Though, it’s mostly about mapping out where you need to go to “win” as a team; becoming dynamic and inspiring. I want to bring compelling visions to the group and help motivate and inspire them to help deliver that vision.…
I honestly did not believe that I was nor did I carry myself as a leader until I got to Wilson High School. In middle school, at church, and within the different programs I am a part I was given leadership positions and was “successful” in them but Wilson High School and its community have taught me what it truly means to be a successful leader.

This is the aspect of my life that has developed my leadership skills such as communication, patience, innovation, flexibility, planning and much more. My coaches, teachers, and teammates have all pushed me to become the leader that I am.…
Being a leader can on occasion be difficile. Sometimes, you have to do things you do not wish to do, and other times, you have to really be able to coordinate events and be held culpable for what accompanies them. A leader, at no time, should be unreliable and should always be collaborative. I admit I have had what it takes to be a leader based on what I have accomplished this year. Being involved in AVID for four years now, I have continuously admired it.…
John Quincy Adams, 6th president of the United States, noted “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” According to this quote, a leader is someone who can bring out the hidden potential of other individuals.

In out of school, I led our group in the Virginia Boys State.…
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.

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…

Being an AFJROTC cadet leader is challenging. As Wing Commander of our 250 member Cadet Wing, I had to address an ethical dilemma; leaders dating subordinates; that almost destroyed our drill team. In the US Military, unprofessional relationships are frowned upon as they adversely affect the chain of command due to favoritism. In our unit, unprofessional relationships are discouraged for the same reason. When cadets perceive a promotion given to someone based, not on merit, but on their relationship with the leader, the units’ morale suffers.…

When I was seven years old, my father, who worked as an army general, was assassinated by a political group that was trying to rise to power.…

Being leader doesn’t mean being the boss of everybody, that’s a completely different thing.
