Muskoka Leadership Style Analysis

Leadership to me means helping and motivating others to help them excel in an activity. I would like to become a leader because my Muskoka experience in grade 9 was a great way to make me feel part of the school community. Muskoka helped me meet new people and create many strong and long-lasting friendships. I found that this experience made going to high school a lot easier and a lot less stressful. I feel as a Muskoka leader I would be able to pass on the same experience I had with the new students.

I believe the hardest part of being a leader is resolving and preventing conflicts within the group. Based on past experience this is definitely the most challenging part because it's hard to resolve the conflict while still keeping both parties

happy.

I believe the most rewarding part of being a leader is being able to assist others in creating a memorable and favorable experience. As I previously said, my Muskoka experience is something that I treasure very much and will remember it as a highlight of my high school career. As I leader I want to make sure the new students feel as welcome to St. Augustine as my leaders made me feel.

At school, I've been involved in various sports teams including basketball, softball, and golf. In these sports, I motivate teammates and encourage them to always do their best by cheering them on. I have also taken leadership roles in many other classes whether a presentation or group assignment. In my community I participate in many leadership activities such as scorekeeping, teaching children basketball, volunteering at my church, and leading groups at summer camp.

As a leader, I would go about preventing conflicts by talking to the students involved individually and help work out the issue to prevent further arguments. I would also make sure the students are aware and comfortable speaking to me if there's a disagreement before it escalates into a major conflict.

I would motivate the students by cheering them on and making sure they feel included with the group at all times, to make them feel comfortable and participate in the activity. I would also talk to them to see why it is they don't want to participate and help resolve the issue to hopefully change their mind.
