My Leadership Philosophy

Decent Essays
I think leadership is an important aspect that one needs to show daily throughout their life. In school I’ve shown leadership through helping my friends and others with homework or any class work. Knowing that I am able to help them and advise them through what they’re doing makes me feel good about myself. When I have work to do in class, I prefer to settle myself down and get what I need to get done before I socialize which is another way I have demonstrated leadership. Through sports I’ve laid out leadership by showing good sportsmanship and working together to be able to succeed. I have shown leadership out of school by being there for people who are in need of someone and guiding them to get through with their problem. Helping someone
