Monticello Junior Leadership Case Study

Junior Leadership Program Application Monticello is a town I hold very close to my heart. Through the Junior Leadership Program I hope to come to a greater understanding of the town I love so deeply, by talking to the business owners and networking with leaders in the community. I see this program as an opportunity to learn new business skills and leadership strategies, in addition to meeting new people with similar interests and goals. I have lived in Monticello my entire life. I live on the same farm my father lived on as a child, and as my grandfather did before him, and as his father did before him. I enjoy the close knit feel of the town and the way it brings people together. I would love to live and work in such a unique community, one that has a slower pace than the larger cities many of the people in my generation gravitate towards. To me, Monticello represents family and tradition and hopefully can help that sense of family and tradition flourish through starting my own career here. …show more content…

Unfortunately there are not many job options for young graduates just entering the workforce. Unemployment is very high, and jobs are scarce all over the country, but in small towns like this it’s even more difficult for young people to find suitable jobs after college. This drives much of the younger generation that grew up here to move to big cities after graduation to search for more job opportunities. In more favorable circumstances many of them would most likely return to their home town to start their new lives, but with few options there it doesn’t make sense for them to. That is why one of the biggest changes I would like to see in our community is more jobs for recent college

By putting this recommendation into action now, I expect to become more connected to my coworkers, more visible to upper management, and more capable of making effective decisions in future leadership positions. Finally, my third change will be taking a more energetic approach to furthering my education, so I am able to have the skills I need to make effective decisions with the two-up, two-down approach in mind (Schmalz, 2015, np). In order to understand the goals and motivators of those above me, I need to learn more about their responsibilities and habits.

Larry Cuban's’ persuasiveness The percentage of U.S students in the age 18-24 enrolled in college has increased from 35 percent in 2000 to 41 percent in 2010, and according to The Washington Post, only 27 percent of college graduates have a job related to their degrees. Forbes.com states that as many as 60 percent of college graduates struggle to find jobs in their field. Larry Cuban debates where college graduates go when they graduate. The article “Why everyone shouldn't go to college” is republished by Valerie Straus, for The Washington Post, and Cuban uses both ethos and logos throughout the article to emphasize his points and persuade the readers, which he does well.

Chris Hadfield once said that “Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts... It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine.” Hadfield is stating in this quote that in order our leaders to be successful, they muse ensure our prosperity before their own. With this quote clearly effective leaders collaborate with their people to ensure they are successful and mindful. Collaborative leadership is the strongest way to lead because fear and power can sometimes create anarchy and dissent while respect and decency ultimately create a harmonious society.

Peter Morici believes that the federal government should shift its grants to support the vocational colleges instead of traditional colleges. Our nation is “in short supply” of skilled workers and overemphasis on “social sciences and humanities.” In order to unlock the inequalities of status among persons, our country should promote the importance of “career-ready skills.” Without the changes made, many college-degreed teenagers are in fact constrained into lower wage jobs.

The conversation involving Dave Brandon was very insightful, and I personally learned a lot about being a part of teams from the presentation. Being a sports fan, I love hearing the message that Mr. Brandon shares about teams and how they are vital to organizational success. The most important lessons I learned from the presentation are: 1. The virtue of generational leadership, which is based in understanding where a person is coming from, will have an effect on their perspective surrounding the goals of the organization.

Educational Leadership Issues Introduction a) Introduction to the Educational Leadership Issue Many school leaders in culturally-diverse schools grapple with positioning themselves properly within their institution’s ethnic milieu. When a school leader suitably positions him or herself in their school’s racial milieu, they can devise a model for interacting with students and staff of different races who within their precincts (Walker & Riordan, 2010). Nonetheless, many contemporary school leaders lack the capacity to lead for equity and hence be able to address issues of race and injustice and create learning environments that allow people to converse about racial identity and curb

1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time. I consider myself a leader, i believe this because i am the type of person that feels like if i am not the one to do it then it will not be done the right way. Whenever i would work in groups i would designate myself to be the one to do the harder assignment, because i only trusted that would take it serious, not anyone else. Also, whenever i do anything that involves a team, i like to take control, because i feel like i am the best one to work under pressure or i can choose the best solution for any situation.

In a world marked by uncertainty, new technology, changing demographics, and changing consumption trends, wise leaders are needed more than any time in the human history (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 2011). Nonaka and Takeuchi (2011) begin with the premise stating that, for instance, knowledge by itself did not prevent the collapse of the global financial system; conversely, uncertainty alone did not hinder the effectiveness of business leaders. Thus, leaders need the required capabilities to reinvent their organizations and face the challenges brought about by technology, demographics, and globalization. Current leaders lack adequate preparation to construct global organizations that can effectively transcend geographical boundaries (Nonaka and Takeuchi,

The education system produces skills that are not valued by employers, while raising the expectations of those who acquire them. Consequently, the unemployed do not take up existing job vacancies, and employers are unwilling to hire available candidates (Njonjo, 2010). The mismatch is more marked for school leavers and graduates who have just finished school, partly providing an explanation for the high unemployment rate among youth and new entrants into the job market. The suggested remedy is to reform the education system and increase focus on technical education and vocational training, matching them to the needs of the job market (Coenjaerts et al. 2009).
