For the past two summers I have worked alongside the vice president of Cape Pond Ice. I was employed as his assistant and I made sure to take careful notice in everything he did on a day-to-day basis as I rode alongside him in the thirty-foot long box truck. For every interaction and every sale I made it clear that I wanted to know more and to be involved. This past spring I was called into the office for a meeting to discuss the upcoming summer. At the meeting we were told the vice president was leaving to obtain bigger and better opportunities.…
During my junior year in high school I didnt like the job I was working at. I knew that Tractor Supply was being built and I applied for a job. My family thought that there was no way that they would hire me. I really had no work experience because I was only working for family. A little while after that Alisha Jewell called me in for an interview.…

This article was very interesting to me because I have experienced working in a toxic environment and seen firsthand the destruction it can cause. My previous mentor demonstrated dysfunctional behavior and abuse of power. I have always worked hard to perform at my best and be a great leader, I gained new dedication after my employment in that organization. My goal is to learn as much about healthy and effective leadership and to pass along those positive lessons to the individuals I mentor. I find this quite relevant to my career in the Human Resources field.…
I have always been interested in learning and using new ideas. Throughout my life, I have invariably drawn from my life experiences, newly learned ideas and my continuing education to help problem-solve sensibly and realistically allowing me to move forward or help others reach their goals. Although I have no formal teaching experience, in my past work and involvement in organized sports, I have repeatedly used the Progressive philosophy. When dealing with 13 & 14 year olds many situations arise such as bullying, personality clashes or simply not understanding a drill or play. I deal with these situations by asking questions to stimulate a discussion, allowing them to draw on past experiences; positive or negative, consequently allowing them to come up with a solution or grasp the knowledge they are seeking.…
My past work experience has been at Sobeys, where I could experience a lot of women’s leadership. I worked from October 2013 to June 2015; I began working there since it opened to until I resigned, because I had to move to Kingston. In our Sobeys, there were more female department managers than male managers; my department manager was female as well. If I gained knowledge of what woman could do by reading about “The Famous Five” before, this time, I gained knowledge by experiencing different female leaderships. I’ve experienced both poor and great leaderships.…

Halfway Fired How would you feel if you came to work one day only to find someone sitting at your desk, using your equipment and eating your food?

The best, most positive supervisor experience I had was the first job after graduating with my BSW. I was an AmeriCorps member at a family resource center that served a small community. It provided support to families, teens, and children. My supervisor had started the program many years earlier and was well liked in the community. She provided the best feedback on groups I was running and also asked for my feedback on things she was doing.…
“You need a job.” “Do something productive.” “Why are you so lazy?” “ I’m sick of seeing you sit around all day,” nagged my mother. It was summer of eighth grade and I would be transitioning into high school in a couple months.…
I never expected working at a fast food restaurant to change my life. When I first applied online, I had a preconceived notion about what my experience at Chipotle would be like. I expected the fast food restaurant to be like any other I had heard about. I would go to work, make food, then go home. In direct contrast, the environment at Chipotle is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, not even in a Christian school.…
My first leadership experience came from being a voluntary work as a life- and management skills trainer, where I had to deal with different background, minds and studies trainees, to be the leader of my own session, the thing that let me build my communication, discussion and presentation skills. During this period I have met so many people with various way of thinking, where I succeed dealing with them each time. After that I started working as assistant supervisor in a psychological support centre for the international medical corps, where I had the chance to deal with very professional and creative people, the hardest thing was being accepted as the youngest member of the team and to be known as a leader , but being in this atmosphere…
For the last 9 years I have worked in the restaurant industry. Dishwasher, bus girl, hostess, waitress, you name it and I have worked it. I have never been afraid to get my hands dirty and feel blessed for my work experience. The crazy restaurant world has taught me a strong work ethic, communication skills, and many other crucial life lessons that cannot be bought.…
Introduction “Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.” — Vince Lombardi As I reflect on my leadership journey, I become more convinced with Vince that leaders are not born leaders, but are a result of a conscious effort to be one. While serving in various institutions in leadership positions, I have seen myself emerge to those positions through my hard work and skills rather than just having been assigned to it. Various factors like experience, training, mentorship, conscious practice and even failure have contributed in developing my leadership abilities.…
