Leadership Philosophy Statement

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. That leader happen to be a CWO that found out how to motivate me in ways that only he could reach me. If it weren’t for this CWO I wouldn’t have made it past my first unit. Along the way I have seen good leaders and bad, so I tried to take away the good things that I have seen and improve upon them. I have …show more content…

I would say that I need to do a better job on asking questions of my supervisor and subordinates on how I am doing as a leader other than during EES counseling and establish goals to better my interactions with others. Listen to the feedback whether it is good or bad and make the change necessary in order to develop as a leader. Part two of being a leader is the ability to speak with genuine conviction about the higher meaning and purpose of our work. As a Storekeeper, most of our work is behind the scenes and not as glorious as other rates but I must do a better job of explaining the reason why we do what we do and the impact that it has when we don’t. I must also remember that there is a world outside of being a SK and keep members informed of the organizations vision as a whole. Part Three of being a leader is the ability to ensure people are creatively rewarded for their contributions to the success of our projects/tasks. Often times I set expectations of my people but forget that sometimes people need more than just “Thank you”. I need to realize that sometimes it should be more award recognition or CG3307’s to highlight the member’s accomplishment or socialize the good things that people in my division are doing. I often time look at it as we were doing our jobs instead of a motivational

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. As educators, we have a great responsibility to serve as advocates for the students we serve. All children, regardless of their background, must be taught to believe they can succeed.

Calling yourself a leader is easier said than done as leadership is not about being boastful or overbearing, but the happy medium between the two. Leaders should be able to recognize the moment in which one (a leader) is needed, and then take control of the situation to set an example for others; however, this should not be done disdainfully. The best leaders are those who are role models, looked up to, and inspirations for others. Sometimes leaders will leave an impression on others, whether it be from something they said or did. I hope to leave a long-lasting impression on my peers as a leader in the classroom.

T As a principal, one must be an effective leader to create a school environment that enables the faculty and staff to improve student achievement, the main objective of any school. As an effective principal, I will constantly look for data and make necessary changes to the school strategic plan to improve the student performance.

A leader is said to be someone who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. During highschool I have had the privilege to be a member of the varsity cheer squad. Being a member of this team has allowed me to work through many hardships but has also been very rewarding. I like to live by my mission statement, which is being friendly, outgoing, and compassionate, always putting my best foot forward remembering how far I have come rather than how far I still have to go. Imagine working eight months for one two minute and thirty second routine.

In the words of Psychologist, Lisa Haisha, “Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader… They set out to make a difference. Its never about the role, but always about the goal”. The most rewarding part of these leadership roles is when I see a student succeed. Whether it is a resident coming to me saying they aced their exam, a first year student that thanks me for the fun they had at orientation, or a student who gets an internship or job after I helped them with their resume, the success of each person that I helped lead inspires me to keep leading and keep making positive differences in peoples

Being a great leader is not dependent on what you have accomplished yourself, it is shown by how you have impacted others' lives.

I have proved my academic dedication through my 4.0 GPA which is the first step to complete to grow as a bigger leader in the National Honors Society. My whole life, I have challenged myself by taking more advanced classes such as AP courses because I thought being intelligent is one of the keys to helping me become a bigger leader.

My personal definition of leadership is the ability to help guide and work with a group and work together to achieve a common goal. I think that there are many ways that a person can be a leader, or be in a position with leadership without fitting into the definition that I provided. Leadership is difficult term to provide just one definition for, because there are so many ways that the role of a leader will change with each situation that they are. I think that my style of leadership is to step up to the role of leader when it is needed. I typically do not seek out leadership positions, but rather wait for them to prevent themselves, and then take advantage of the situations.

Introduction Medicine has come a long way. The history of medicine shows how societies have changed and developed their approach to illness and disease. Early medical practices and texts include those of Egypt, Babylon, India, and China. These texts give us an understanding of natural and herbal remedies and have helped us find cures for illness and disease that we do not have a cure for in modern medicine. The Greeks first introduced the concepts of advanced medical ethics.
