Throughout the first semester we did a group project. My group and I struggled interviewing a professor because it would be an excited, fun and educational videos. From the very beginning, there were some obstacles standing between us and reaching our goal. We had to set up meetings with our career field. During this time it was hard trying to set similar times where you and the professor could schedule an interview together. Once we got that settled down we came to another obstacle with getting the cameras. When we started to record they found out that the way we were approaching this project was not what we were trying to accomplish. As a result, we changed our project completely. We started interviewing older leadership minors and asking them what they did and how it has changed their lives. …show more content…

    It is one thing to have the knowledge of “the practice of mobilizing people to tackle tough challenges and thrive”. What I am persistent to do with that knowledge is what is important. My biggest take away is that I need to get on the balcony. By being on the balcony I can see that is it really the bold guy with the dance moves who starts the party, not the DJ. Silly to me that I never realized that is where I needed to be, that is where people could find me in a real life party. A year from now I hope that is still where I will be, looking for new data and learning more about myself in new circumstances. There will always be more to learn, although every once in a while I will have to intervene in situations that will make me uncomfortable. To carry on improving on the skills I picked up during the course of this class, it will be crucial for me to reevaluate the goals I set for myself. I plan to reset them all and provide myself with a timeline to achieve the goals. KU offers a minor in leadership studies and this classes is the foundation for all of those leadership classes to come. This class will be impossible to forget as I move forward in complete my minor. I will be using what I have learned in this class still three years from, it is kind of

  • Reflection Paper On High School Leadership

    1197 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Units 1-4, there is a demonstration of components that make up the individualistic atmosphere of a team, group, or employees. As a high school student at the time, I had to remember my ability to contribute to the student government in my strongest areas. These all led to the motivational factor of the group. We were motivated by the fact that we as a group could create school activities that were successful only if our efforts were successful. I was able to learn things about myself as a leader in what I could improve on, what can stay, and what needed to be left out. Leadership opportunities may feel intimidating at first but they have the capacity to provide major breakthroughs in one’s own ability to change not only their lives but also the lives of others. Positive experiences in leadership do not have to be sporadic but when they are negative they can cause a permanent or hard to change opinion of disliking group work. In the entrepreneurship, business, or corporate workforce, work ethic is collective and is depended upon the make-up of a company. Working well with others is a strategy that can help make life easier in the undertakings someone chooses to pursue. As college is coming to an end, it is interesting to see where old memories will show up in the academic process such as MAN 320F. That one experience of leadership during my high school years is an example to learn, develop, and apply the skills I have assimilated into the times my academics required leadership as they transcend into skills for the real world. Learning leadership is an infinite

    Women do have different leadership styles from men. As Bodyshop founder Anita Roddick says: ‘I run my company according to feminine principles – principles of caring, making intuitive decisions, not getting hung up on hierarchy, having a sense of work as being part of your life, not separate from it; putting your labour where your love is, being responsible to the world in how you use your profits; recognising the bottom line should stay at the bottom’.

  • The Challenges Of Women 's Leadership Positions

    Furthermore, I encourage everyone including men to have an open mind, where everyone is seen equal to each other. Women should not have to be treated differently or get paid less than the man. I believe that all men should see how valuable and important women are, especially in the work force. As I have noticed, there are many men that do not care, and that is evident for student that signed up for this course. Women should not force themselves to perform beyond what they are already capable of, dress a certain way or even talk assertive; they should be respected just as every other person next to her, even men. To sum it all up, a leaders is someone who inspires, motivates, and encourages a group, community or country regardless of their gender or sex.

  • Reflection On Power And Leadership

    1007 Words  | 3 Pages

    I have a lot of experience in many things from education, customer service so forth and to end with parenting, so I have several styles of influence, power and leadership and all of which I have used, just not in this order. To influence is the capacity of the power of a person’s things in which they may be compelling force or able to produce effects and actions. Power means the ability to act or the capability of doing to accomplish something, as in the lecture power is the ability to marshal resources. Leadership is the function or position to direct or guide a group or groups of people, or as the lecture states the process of inspiring and guiding others to participate. It is my personal opinion that with all these styles a person still needs self-management as discussed in this semester as well. You cannot have someone that may has influence, power and leadership, yet lacks self-awareness. How can they lead a pack? My previous jobs have many individuals that portrayed to be leaders whom pretended to have power that influenced us, however they lacked self-management, and all of the above.
