Creating structure in the workplace is vital and I believe that setting goals with incentives improves the work of others. I want to be the type of leader that knows the difference between leadership and management. As Covey (2004, p. 108) states, “Management is a bottom line focus: How can I best accomplish certain things? Leadership deals with the top line: What are the certain things I want to accomplish? … Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” I think this is knowing the difference between trying to control every part of what others are doing and giving them the directions to handle their work themselves. Finally, I want to be the leader that has a vision for where the organization needs to be. “The core …show more content…

Based on those meetings and other experiences, we decide which set of structures we want to base the rest of our life on. For me personally, I know that my grandparents always had a big impact on my values since I lived with them when I was young. They led me understand the importance of God in my life and know the true importance of family. Since my grandpa was a preacher, I grew up in a church surrounded by family and witnessing miracles happen before my eyes. I chose Millikin knowing that they were nearby, until my sophomore year when they decided to become missionaries and sell absolutely everything they owned. Watching my childhood home be sold was a sad and humbling experience that truly made me realize how much I appreciate everything they have everything done for me. In my other relationships, I have always believed that honesty is the best policy – but trust has to be earned. My mother always instilled in me that lying is never allowed no matter the circumstances, but in my relationships with others I believe they have to earn my trust before they deserve my true friendship. By the way I was raised, I feel a passion for commitment to altruism for the whole. I always make myself a dependable person, but this obligation has its limits. If I feel like I become a ‘door-mat’ or am being misused, then I will no longer offer up myself in that relationship. These values apply to how I live my daily life and determine whether or not I can truly be

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, written by Rick Riordan and published in 2005. An amazing series that blended mythology, romance, and humor. Later, the first two books were turned into movies: Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief as well as Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. Both movies grossed over $430 million and had many good reviews but the fans of the original series, myself included, were sorely disappointed. I did not enjoy the movies and I know that the book adaptations were much better than the movie adaptations.

I do agree with Evans and Alire in their agreeing with Dana Rooks; of course I want to be someone who develops in to a leader! We’ve learned through this class that “management is the art of getting things done through people” (Mary Parker Follett, 1941). This chapter tells us leadership is depends upon people- “a leader without followers leads nothing” (p.321), without people nothing can be done through them, which to me makes management and leadership go hand in hand. As Elliot taught us in the film from the last RDP, people want to do meaningful things with their life, I know I do, but also I would also like to help people achieve a purpose and accomplish their meaningful goals. I know that can’t be done through simple management but more so through coaching, mentoring and modeling, also discussed in the chapter.

As a spokesperson, I want to empower teachers to be leaders in and out of the classroom. The key to raising achievement for all students is to empower teachers to lead and transform the teaching profession. Every child has the right to an education and the potential to learn.

With every passing school year, I find myself taking on new challenges and striving to become better. As I load my schedule with AP and Dual Enrollment courses, the long sleepless nights of studying and completing stacks of rigorous coursework serve as a constant reminder that working hard isn't optional. I truly value education and thoroughly believe that the work I'm doing now will pay off in the future. This conviction fuels my motivation to succeed and always put forth my best effort.

In the Cambridge Dictionary, leadership, is defined as people who are in charge of a government or a group. The Cambridge Dictionary also defines leadership as having the quality or ability that makes a person a leader, or the position of being a leader. I agree with the Cambridge Dictionary; However, I must add, that leaders are not born with these abilities, but they are molded by pinacol points within their life that paved the path to become a great leader. In our history we have heard and read of many leaders that transformed our very present life. Although their approach was unique they all had one thing in common, a vision.

I aim to be a leader but admittedly not one that seeks attention but one can lead quietly in the background. My idea of leading is doing so by standing side by side those who choose to follow, instead of orchestrating commands and rules for the sake of being heard. As a leader I like to personally understand those who I am reaching. Leadership and teamwork go hand in hand. When I think of these two I am reminded of a response I wrote about my philosophy in life.

Leadership This term is imperative to the lowest level employee to the highest, however, I believe that leadership goes beyond the title itself. Leadership is not about personality, influencing people, nor is it about making friends, it’s the ability to build upon a person’s vision, creating a higher standard to build upon a person’s performance, and increasing a person’s personality beyond the regular. This belief may influence the environment created by the leader’s action where personality, influencing people, and making friends are in correlation once the foundation is established. I am not a leader by title nor are my peers, nonetheless, everybody are leaders from within.

I would like to explore the how slowly revealing the truth to someone by example within a relationship is different from withholding the truth, and how it is not a compromise of one's own responsibility to the truth. The difference between the law of gradualness and the gradualness of the law as presented by St. John Paul the Great will also speak a lot of clarity into this area. Tied in with this is also the importance of listening and patience within a friendship, as well as knowing when, or if ever, we are supposed to walk away from a scenario of

Leadership is not a position or rank, it is being the example, with a positive attitude and treating others with respect. A good leader knows how to get people to follow. To be a good leader you must also know how to follow. Throughout my career I have learned how to do both. Early in my career I made mistakes but I’m glad I had a good leader that I could look up to and that was inspirational in a way that kept me from making more mistakes.
