My Leadership Philosophy

1124 Words5 Pages

I was born in India, have always been shy around new people, and have had a hard time adapting with new people. Once I get used to them, however, they would have never guessed that I was ever shy. I am always outgoing with people I know so I do not know if that makes me an introvert or an extrovert. Some leadership events that have happened in my life are that I have led a basketball team to the playoffs when we had no hope of getting there and I have tutored different people with things they do not understand at school. These have definitely affected me in positive light. Right now, I am growing rapidly as a leader and am determined. I want to become a leader so I can help people make the right decisions. I hope to accomplish friendships with …show more content…

Show everyone the same amount of respect regardless of their social status, financial status, or their job. Treat the president the same as you would treat a janitor. This has not changed and am hoping will not change. Specific leadership theories that have guided my practice is the one I just said and also stay honest no matter what. The leadership theory that works best for me and is the most simple is stay honest. I said at the beginning that I need to overcome my shyness and now I realize that I should consciously strike up a conversation with others. This will help me interact with different people and will make me more adapted to them which, like I said above, will make me outgoing with …show more content…

I have learned from this semester that people become great whenever they do things for others, whenever they only think about the benefits of others, and stand strong against violence. I have learned that I have major opportunity to succeed in leadership and I just need to make use of that opportunity. I have learned to deal with shyness and humiliation by ignoring them and consciously interacting with others. I have learned to deal with successes by keeping my humility and not boasting or being arrogant. I have grown more humility and have strengthened my core beliefs such as honesty. I have been able to incorporate honesty and humility in many instances in my life. I still need to improve my public speaking skills or talking in front of a large crowd. Ideas or experiences that have stood out is mainly the non-violence talked about by Gandhi and an idea was always pick experiences over materialistic items. Non-violence has been the most meaningful to me because our view of defeating an army is through violence but Gandhi brought in something that no one has ever seen. 360 Evaluations has been most beneficial to me because it makes me learn a lot about myself. It forces me to understand myself and my actions and personality. In ethics, when we talked about if the responsibility is blamed on someone else the person will do it, this changed my view of people and I started trying

Extroverts can be some of the best people you meet. They have plenty to offer and thrive at the attention of others. However, being introverted can be just as great. In a society where being extroverted is the ideal, it can be very difficult to be an introvert. Susan Cain argues in her Ted Talk, “The Power of Introverts”, that introverts can share many brilliant ideas with the world and should be encouraged and celebrated for who they are.

After reading Susan Cain’s “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking” about introversion, the way in which I viewed not only myself, but the world, would be challenged. As an introvert, I prefer to observation and quietly think instead of vocally expressing myself. I enjoy times of solitude in which I can collect my thoughts, play the piano, practice magic tricks, or read. Growing up, I did not know of introversion, and therefore could not distinguish between what is known as shyness and introversion. I was confused – I believed myself shy because I kept to myself often and enjoyed my alone time, but I equally expressing myself more and acting the opposite when I was around close companions.

Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people. Another common misconception is that introverts are anti-social.

I am more than just a shy, introvert. I am not quiet when I am expressing my ingenious opinions on Shakespeare's, Macbeth. I am not mute while my siblings are in my care. I am not impassive when I am galloping about my room with the radio blasting singing Pharrell’s “Happy” at the top of my lungs. Many have stated that I am a fluent speaker, outgoing, and confident.

There I became more independent. Once shy, I developed the confidence to step up to make an array of interesting friends and readily ask classroom questions important to me to broaden my knowledge, even though they may have seemed obtuse to my global peers. These experiential lessons led to my practicing public speaking by working in sales at a phone store. This was particularly significant as my transition from a once very quiet, introvert was complete when I exceeded not only my own, but everyone else’s sales

Going through daily life you experience many different things, and most of them are the daily rigors of life that you do not think twice about. However, sometimes you have experiences that are not part of your average day, and those are the experience, I believe you learn the most from. One experience that has contributed the most to my development since I have been at West Point is the investigation into the lacrosse team last year. While I was not involved in the investigation, I experienced the effects and aftermath of the investigation. One way it affected my development is that it made me truly understand the impact leaders have on a group.

Extroverts think out loud and on their feet. They prefer talking to listening and rarely find themselves at a loss for words. And occasionally, blurt out things they never meant to say. Extroverts need to recharge when they don’t socialize enough. (Dembling, 2012, pp. 109-112) B. Introverts in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while, wish to be alone.

“The change intervention didn’t work when it was general; only when it was specifically tied to an actual behavior the person could enact” (Whitbourne, 2016). A good specific goal to have is to consciously work on your social skills by working to meet a certain number of new people. One way to accomplish this is by searching online how to improve one specific skill at a time. “A small basic set of social skills can go a long way because you’ll get to reuse them every time you meet someone” (Pavila, 2013). It is also brought up by the experts that introverts need time to “recharge” after they talk to others.

My whole entire life I have been an introvert. You would think after going to seven different schools while growing up that by now I would have learned how to be more outgoing and more of an extrovert as it is called. However, I do not think that is something that I personally can learn. I have always been the quiet or shy girl. When I started going to a new high school my freshman year I was very quiet and never really said much.

The fact that this society in the twenty-first century favors extroverts over introverts is a madding fact for introverts. Most introverts are not shy, rather that is just their personality and the way they were created. Introverts silence does not mean that they will not make it anywhere in their life however. Abraham Lincoln was a true introvert, and despite the odds, he made it through the publicity and politics to become one of America’s greatest presidents in history. Introverts are our inventors, our engineers; they join with extroverts to be our doctors and politicians.

I used to be a reserved kind of individual and hesitated to communicate to others and failed to communicate what I think and what are my thoughts on that topic. Moreover I got a classroom which was always full of buzz and people loved to share their thoughts quite easily. My class teacher used to observe and give feedback on the way every
