Recommended: Establish rapport

In my life now, I think there is some disconnect in the area of stewardship. This past year, I have been working to be a good steward of my formal leadership roles such as my internship. I have also been working to cultivate relationships with the people God has placed in my life. However, I do not think I am always a good steward in managing my time in informal ways. In the future, I want to serve with integrity in formal and informal areas in my life. I want to continue to do so in roles of leadership I will have in the future. While I have focused more on relationships and stewardship in informal ways in the last year, I want to continue to improve in this area and be more aware of how I am using my time in relation to how God wants me to use it. In formal aspects of my life there is already accountability, and I would like to add an accountability partner for the more informal time. I would like to meet with this person every other week for at least a year. I will also be intentional about prescheduling my weeks and praying over them each …show more content…

If the situation is one in which I am more confident, then I do not find it difficult to be the one who fosters change. I would like to be someone who can help to lead change in situations of both confidence and uncertainty. I want to be willing to take risks when it is necessary to accomplish a vision. I want to act quickly if God is leading even if my feelings are unsure. In order to do this, I can examine my motivations when a decision needs to be made. I can determine if my uncertainty is due to sound reasoning or if it is due to feelings of uncertainty. I would also like to take intentional time to reflect in hindsight on situations where I either act or fail to act in uncertainty. Taking deliberate time to reflect on this with a mentor or trusted friend, can help to lead to better decisions in the

    In high school, I was part of SkillsUSA, a national organization that heavily focused on Career and Technical Education for students in high school and in college. It was my junior year in high school and I had become fascinated with this organization. There are many types of competitions such as cosmetology or architecture and engineering where students can showcase their talents along with what they have learned in school. My range of skills allowed me to compete in different types of computer and leadership competitions. This led me to many different experiences that have greatly influenced my personality and have allowed me to learn that there are many important aspects to have a good character. Having won some competitions and lost others has given me experiences that allowed me to improve myself and to truly understand how some parts of our personality are important.

Although commitment to the organization and being in control of my department are strengths, they took away from my personal life because I was putting my job first above everything in my life including my walk with God. As maintenance manager, due to the very nature of the job and from an ISTJ perspective, this position acted as an enabler to put the strengths of commitment to work and the organization as the priority in my life. In Matthew 6:33 Christ said, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (NASB). As my priorities changed, He gave me another opportunity for personal happiness thru Him and my fiancée. He also gave me the courage, drive and determination to change my career.

    A good curator has the potential to shape a person’s approach to art and culture. In 2011, Andrew Bolton’s stunning presentation of fashion as art, in ‘Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty’ opened my eyes to the work of a designer that would become the backbone to the majority of my undergraduate study. Aged 18, I traveled to New York where I visited the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Four years later, when ‘Savage Beauty’ was showing once again - this time at the V&A, curated by Claire Wilcox - I wrote my dissertation on the complex relationship between art and fashion through a detailed analysis of the exhibition which gave me my biggest passion.

    Transformational leaders want individuals to make a positive change in their lives and try to help people apply a positive change on a daily basis. The leaders do this by implementing individual considerations which, according to Kendrick (2011), “treats each follower as a unique contributor and provides coaching, mentoring, feedback and growth opportunities.” This makes such an impact on people because each individual is getting different mentoring, feedback, and growth opportunities due to their unique personality. It is very important for each person to have this because everyone has a different learning ability and motivation. This helps each individual with their own distinctive endeavor.

    Leadership is an awesome responsibility, and regardless of where leadership occurs, followers want leadership that is trustworthy, inspiring, consequential, and most importantly, effective. Thus, effective leadership is often weighed in theory and common indicators such as the impact on a team or process, follower attitudes and perceptions, and even career longevity (Yukl, 2010). Furthermore, leadership effectiveness may also be determined by the leader’s title, position, skills, traits, and moral behaviors (Carolina College of Biblical Studies [CCBS], n.d.). Often overlooked in all these things are God’s purpose for leadership, and the call for the leader to remain obedient to God while leading (CCBS, n.d.). Since mankind is sinful by
