    A final leadership attribute that I cherish is the ability to work with others, instead of working over them. When someone works over others, the job is not done as efficiently; however, when a leader works with other people, the job is completed on time with efficiency and care. I believe that this characteristic was most prevalent in my actions during my Eagle project, because instead of telling people what to do, I showed them what I believed was best for the project, and then worked with them until it was…

    Theo Haimann once said, “Leadership is the process by which an executive imaginatively directs, guides and influences the work of others in attaining specified goals.” I believe that is my strongest quality. When I was little, even my parents seemed to look to me when my brother and I had a task, even though it didn’t always abide well with my brother who didn’t like being “shown up” by his younger sibling. For every situation I am put in, I don’t just accept the “follower mentality.” I want others to look up to me as somebody they desire to follow, just like a leader in my life that I strive to emulate, my mentor and band director, John Gray.…

It was also important that the team could work together on and off the field so I often communicated with all the players to figure out any kinks or flaws that would lead to a disruption between my teammates.…
