INTRO A senior marketing major with a concentration in management I, John Rizzo, see myself in many leadership roles in the future. As an athlete my whole life and someone who typically isn’t afraid to speak in groups and voice my opinions, I believe I have many skills necessary to lead.
Vision My vision is broken into three segments, now, next ten years, and later life. Right now my leadership role is with the Keuka College baseball team.

As a coach I cannot handle 30 plus players at once and need strong assistant coaches I trust along with players who are accountable for each other. Delegation in the workforce will be similar to the two characters I touched on with less of a magnitude. At home delegation will be important as well. I need to allow for my wife, and other role models to have an influence with my children’s’ lives as well as let my children make decisions on their own while I am the best guide I can be. There will be times that I need to step in but I can’t make every decision for
