I was deeply motivated while doing this learning application module as I was clearly able to assess my personality traits and the leadership qualities in me. The Five Leadership Practices (5LP) provided me with three commitments of an exemplary leader that I found in myself. I discovered that I needed to work on experimenting and taking risks by gaining small wins and also trying out new things which would help me take risks, make mistakes and learn from them. I would also want to develop the quality of envisioning my future which would help me picturize all the possible ways of handling things and …show more content…

This has always helped me gain new relationships. In my past experience, being a chair of the public relations committee with my student organization in college, I have always shared important and significant information with the student volunteers in the committee. This has demonstrated open communication by harmoniously sharing information regarding the updates in the group which has proven no private agenda and thereby making the student volunteers feel comfortable to trust me and each other.
Furthermore, MBTI Personality Type Test was an interesting part of the module. I believe, ESFJ (Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging) to some extent came out right for me after assessing myself in this test. I usually look for small occasions to celebrate. Delegation is what helps me solve problems for people close to me. Also, I am an emotional person and a great care-taker. I manage things as indicated by how I feel about it. With my sensing and judging characteristics I can understand people’s point of view very well and turn that into supportive judgment. For example, I was a student representative to attend the Indian Dental Association committee meetings from my college for two years (2012-2014) and in this process I met across a student which was

  • Unraveling the Origins of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    When I took the MBTI, some of the things I knew about myself were reinforced, and I also learned some new things about myself and my personality. The four letter code that I received was ISTJ, representing introversion, sensing, thinking, and judging. I expected each of these preferences, and when I read the definition of each, it further strengthened my understanding of what my personality really means in “technical terms.” My four letter code came with titles such as the Duty Fulfiller, the Responsible Realist and the Inspector, names I also agree that pertain to myself. Some of the attributes of an ISTJ personality type include serious and quiet, dependable, well-organized, hard-working, goal-striving, determined, logic-based, orderly, and traditional. If I were asked to describe myself, I would more than likely use nearly all of these terms to do so, which goes to show how accurate this test was, for me at least. But, I also can pick out some challenges that may arise because of the personality type that I am. One example relates to being an introvert, who prefer to focus on one thing at a time.

    Leadership is being able to direct or guide other people by either your own actions or by actually guiding them into the right direction (Acumen). Inspiration to be a leader might come from many different areas like your family, friends, peers, or even teachers. My inspiration didn’t really occur to me until I started attending college in August 2013. In all actuality I never even thought of how to be a leader until I was in Mrs. Moore’s Perspectives class. I now have a desire to be a great leader, and the inspiration has come from Mrs. Moore, and my family. I am the first to attend college out of my family, so in a away I have already started leading my siblings in the right direction.

    Many people associate leadership with a specific job title or form of power within an organization. However, through personal experience, I have concluded that leadership can come in many forms and position as well as from multiple sources of roles and job titles both with and without power. Based on the definition of leadership, anyone can be considered a leader as long as they have the ability to influence people to achieve a particular result or goal which benefits the organization or group as a whole. Individuals with a secure sense of self and understanding, acceptance of diversity within an organization tend to be the strongest leaders that not only make others want to follow, but they also encourage other leaders to gravitate to their
