The New Leader

“HAYLEY” Ricky yelled. “WHAT” I stopped what I was doing and yelled back. “Finally you listen,” he said with annoyance “I know being the new leader of the Black Knights is going to be tough. Even though you’re 17, you’re not the only young leaders and without parents all the other gangs have lots their parents, except Riley Helmoson” Agh, yes the White Blood leader, Riley Helmoson. He and I will be going to the same boarding school, Hilton Academy. It is just right between our territories.…

the U.S. Army War College stated in 2003that toxic leaders are focused on visible short-term missions and accomplishments. They provide superiors with impressive, articulate presentations and enthusiastic responses to the mission, but they are unconcerned about, or oblivious to, staff or troop morale and/or climate.

Instructors are in charge of groups of one to three Scouts for skills tutoring. The Troop Guide leads the instructors and teaches large group lessons to first years. We had over 25 new Scouts two of the years I was Troop Guide. I developed and ran two Instructor training programs to get our Troop ready for such an influx of new Scouts. Also, I would sometimes meet one on one outside of meetings to help those falling behind keep up with the group or those who wanted to advance faster do so.…

When I initially began Boy Scouts, I largely depended on my brother and his friends for help and assistance. Eventually, my brother and his friends around his age graduated, and while many moved on to serve as adult leaders, all of them eventually left for college.

The most infamous case was the treatment of prominent opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim who was subject to administrative detention, criminalization, and exclusion of…

field manual on the characteristics and qualities of what an ideal leader should be. A figure that influences those around them and provides a source of inspiration, instills a sense of purpose and maintains the ability to motivate not only subordinates but superiors as well. Of course not every good leader can fit the mold of the ideal Army leader nor is it fair to expect perfection and alignment with FM 6-22; however all leaders both inside the military and out can learn from this field manual…

As a horizontal leader, the Clinical Nurse Leader is pivotal to the healthcare team, serving as a critical navigator through the microsystem (Harris, et. al., 2014). In preparing the CNL for the prestigious role, such skills as effective communication, collaboration, negotiation, delegation, coordination and evaluation must be learned and mastered for the CNL to be successful in demonstrating the strength of this new type of nurse. It is through these advanced characteristics that will aid the…

My desire and interest in pursuing a career is nursing is relatively new, but I have realized that this desire has been slowly brewing for years. As far back as I can remember I have wanted to do something that helped others and made a difference somewhere. While in high school I was a lifeguard and I contemplated being a firefighter or an emergency medical technician (EMT) for a while, I researched requirements and how I could progress in the field over time. Upon completion of high school I…

ties but they all share a ethics for non-violence. However even though they all realized that nonviolence was their prime weapon in the battle against violence, they had different ways of spreading their ethics. For example, Dr. King and Gandhi both leaders of a once nonviolence movement sought to span their common ideology to the world but executed it in different ways; while on spectrum King used publicity to inform the mass speaking with a voice so it could be heard on the other Gandhi chose…
