Renaissance Faire Leadership

Decent Essays
During the my high school years I have participated in the State College Area High School Renaissance Faire. At this time I have 2 different leadership positions one involves teaching a group of students to sword fight and the other leadership position involves advertising the club to the school. As a part of this club I have learned to speak in front of other people. Since my Sophomore year of high school I have participated in the chamber orchestra group at my high school. This group is for the advanced orchestra students. As a part of this group we went to France and Spain and performed in various villages and towns. In the summer of 2014, I took my one horse to our first A rated (A rated shows are shows that are recognized national) show.

    Introduction The leadership style of Quint Studer reminds me of a bulb, not because the Studer Group and Foundation carries his name has a bulb in the logo, on the contrary, it encourages to “be the bulb.” As described by Cokeley in (2012) an electric current flowed through a filament of carbonized thread and brought the world into light on New Year’s Eve 1879. It was Edison’s vision, and willingness to share that created dynamic change. Both Edison and Studer are exemplar they set raised bar, and have offered (Psalm119:105) light unto the path of many. His straightforward style is no less than genius is as it involves a flywheel, pillars, and organizational change.…

    My most significant leadership experience would be when I was in the Girls Varsity Tennis Team. I had been in the tennis team during my highschool years, for 2 years. During that time I learned a lot about being a leader, such as what it means to lead others, and what qualities a leader should have. When I first started playing tennis I started at the position on 2nd doubles, to me I took it as that I was not good enough to play against an opponent by myself on the court. Which was entirely true, because when I began playing I was not any good whatsoever.…

    Essay Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.” In other words, the key to be a successful leader that the people love, is to have the respect and compassion for the citizens that you are ruling. Similarly in Macbeth by William Shakespeare, once Macbeth started to alienate his close friends and forget who he truly is, he started to focus more on the power aspect rather than having integrity for the people. Collaborative leadership is the way to go because it gives people, the environment of being together as one, rather than being forced to agree with someone…

    A level 5 leadership consists a leader that is humble, modest, motivated to build lasting greatness, takes responsibility for failure and possess a drive to succeed, an example would be Abraham Lincoln. A Charismatic, are inspirational, self-confidence, taking risks, convincing, they connect with the people (Roberts, 2015), and example would be Mahatma Gandhi and a Transformational leader, they possess good vision, are persuasive, an excellent example is Nelson Mandela.
