    Partaking in the student council organization has allowed for personal and leadership growth, and is comprised of plentiful downfalls and successes. But I believe that it requires missteps and prosperity to learn and grow as a leader. In terms of strength, my skills in proper and adequate delegation tasks have contributed to the successes of my class. However, delegating and simply telling others what to do is not leadership, it is the act of collaborating with one another to execute an event or achieve the goal. Ultimately, I believe that it is my ability to uplift and empower others as my greatest asset.…

    KEY CONCEPTS Leadership Styles T.J. Rodgers exhibited servant leadership when he showed concern to Cypress employees who were laid off. According to Beerel, “Servant leadership has some similarities with transformational leadership in that the servant leader exhibits emotional and moral concern for followers.” His leadership to his followers did not end when they were laid-off, rather it extended even further. Swanson on his part showed the systemic leadership approach when acknowledging that he does not have all the answers to meet the demands of Honda for solar panels for its solar-powered race car, he sought and followed the advice of T.J. Rodgers – of hiring Rodger’s former VP for Operations. These actions demonstrate Beerel’s description…

    I got elected as Vice President of Leadership, and since then I have been continuously looking for new ways to better our chapter. Communicating directly with our members and answering all their wonders is very important for me, as well as maintaining a good partnership with them. As a legacy from previous officers, it is now my duty as a new officer to get new members involved too by giving them opportunities to help in whichever ways that they can. Additionally, I do acknowledge that learning leadership skills (like public speaking, time management, delegation, etc...) is imperative in order to become a good leader. For this reason, I enrolled in a leadership development course at my college called the “Student Leadership Institute” and for which I received credit.…

In your ideas of the Five Fundamental Practices of Exemplary Leadership Models, you exemplified your ability to develop a leadership development process that is attentive to those you plan to lead.

It is this reader’s belief that leading by example will teach others how to work smart and work together,…

    I was fortunate enough to attend the 2016 H. W. Sumners Leadership Conference where I would have the opportunity to meet a unique pool of influential individuals. Most of my leadership experiences had come from group projects with students who I were familiar with, and the conference gave me the chance to become a team with strangers from across the United States and Mexico. I was not aware of how much I was actually going to get out of the conference. Through the elective workshops, I learned much more about my leadership style and who I could become as a leader. Through the speakers, I learned about the power of creating a vision and pursuing with unyielding faith.…
