believe that I will bring to my leadership positions. The main gift that I will bring is my ability to listen to anyone. No matter what the problem is, big or small, I am always available to listen. I believe that being a good listener is a great quality. These retreats really force you to open up and talk about things that you really do not want to talk about. However, when you do finally get comfortable tot talk you are going to want a good listener there to support you. I like to think that even the smallest problems or stories I am always listening. With a good listener, you are always going to need a person who is good at giving advice. I know that if I am selected to be a retreat leader I will try my hardest to give good advice.

In the fall, I was a member of the 1st field hockey team. Being that it was the first year for field hockey, it was not the most serious and strict sport. Next year I plan to be involved in field hockey, however it is not the most serious and strict sport so I will be fully committed to any retreat that I get put on. During the winter and through the spring I run varsity track at Walsh. Although I am a member of the varsity team, I know that the coaches are very understanding if we miss practice due to a school retreat. Track will not keep me from being fully committed to being a retreat leader. Throughout the school year I am involved with Justice League. Although it is hard during a sport season, I try my hardest to go to Justice League every Tuesday. With Justice League, I participate in Gonzaga every week that I can, and Labre every week that I get picked. I am also a leader of the Buddy Club. Next year Buddy Club has a couple of meetings and parties planned, but nothing that will keep me from being available for any retreat. Since my parents each own their own business, I am lucky to be able to work for them. I get to schedule my own working hours which is great. I plan to keep working throughout my senior year. They are very understanding when I can’t work because I have school activities or retreats. Although it may seem like I am very busy, none of my sports or activities are that serious in
George W. Carver was best known in his time as a man of faith who believes in God as science as a gift from God. He would constantly acknowledge that his work was inspired by the works of God and God’s inspiring, and guiding him in his work. When those who wanted things from Carver such as his secrets without the desire to work for the knowledge, Carvers replay would be, ‘God refuses to reveal the secrets of the humankind and the universe.
The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own personal example” – John Wooden. According to my VIA character strengths my top three are Perspective, Spirituality, and Bravery. Perspective is being able to provide wise counsel to others. Having ways of looking at the world that make sense to oneself/others. Spirituality is having coherent belief about the higher purpose and meaning of the universe: knowing where one fits within the larger scheme: having beliefs about the meaning of life that shape conduct and provide comfort. Bravery is not shirking from threat, challenges, difficulty, or pain: speaking up for what’s right even if there is opposition: acting on convictions even if unpopular: includes physical bravery but is not limited to do it. It is very interesting to see the

I realized that I have very strong leadership skills and qualities. Some of these leadership qualities include the confidence I portray to the people I lead and the confidence and reassurance I instill in them. Going alongside this quality is my ability to create personal connections with various people which helps me gain their trust which in turn allows them to open up to me giving me a chance to help them better. An additional leadership quality would be my ability to think on my feet in a stressful and time sensitive situation and come up with a quick solution. Having my strengths be leadership qualities will help me in my career of being a physical therapist because it will give me the respect and authority from my patients along with making sure all of my patients feel safe and happy. This is important in a physical therapist because when a patient goes to see a physical therapist they will be more inclined to listen to the physical therapist’s advice if the physical therapist gives that advisement in a calm and confident tone which will reassure the patient that the physical therapist knows what he/she is doing. In contrast, if the physical therapist shows a lack of confidence and talks in a faltering tone, then the patients will be wearisome in the advice they were given and be less likely to follow them. A similar concept for being able to make personal connections with the patients because the ability to make personal connections with my patients will make them feel more comfortable and give them the ability to be able to share with me stories and such so that they will be more honest when I ask them questions about diets and if they have been following the suggested regimen. Having these leadership skills as my strength is very reassuring to me because I was able to see that physical therapy was
Participate in a leadership weekend is one of my passion to travel the world to experience the many people with whom I share this planet. My travels will help me understand the needs of different cultures and raise my awareness of various ways to engage communities. Another reason why I wish to attend in this Leadership Weekend is I see this will provide me very essential opportunity to expand and build my communication, confidence skills by interact with other people. As matter of fact, one of my future goal or dream is to sever my native country (Tibet), which is occupied by China government right now and people are suffering not having freedom of speech, freedom of religious and my younger fellow Tibetan brothers and sisters not getting equal right accessing model educations, which cause
When it comes to leadership strengths and domains I felt that the strength finder did a nice job of identifying my qualities. My top three strength finder results were relator, harmony, and restorative. My favorite quality and the one that I associate most with when it comes to personal leadership strengths is relator. I take pride in being able to form strong relationships with others based on trust and shared experiences. Personally, I feel that I combine relator and harmony when I have interactions with others, and groups. I like to understand their thought process, what
However in order to become a greater leader I am willing to accept this learning challenge and list “the great ‘I am’” five times. I am a trustworthy person, I am an excellent listener, I am extremely respectful of other people, I am very encouraging of other people’s ideas and I am a strong believer of do what makes you happy. “From self-knowledge, Lombardi believed, we develop character and integrity” (Kerr, J. 2013), where from “character and integrity comes leadership” (Kerr, J. 2013). So if I continue to appreciate my own personal values then this should start to guide me in the right direction of being a great leader.
My current strengths as a leader would have much to do with my ability to foster accountability, network, and to effectively communicate both verbally and written. Working in the healthcare industry change is constant so possessing these strengths makes a difference in the field. Fostering accountability is important when making sure that you are fair across the board and treating everyone with respect. With so many branches of healthcare networking and relationship building allows for many opportunities for future collaboration. Effective communication is the universal language which allows for those in leadership roles to be innovative when expressing visions and generating new ideas. When It comes to weakness struggling with lack of being
My leadership philosophy is constantly developing over time. There is not one leader that stands out individually, however there are many traits from my past leaders that I use. The traits used by my past leaders help me in the development of my philosophy throughout the years. There are several values that I think make the perfect leader. These attributes are the values of humor, the will to always improve, and trust. With these three values, one can always improve the organization while maintaining high standards and moral.
The difference between management and leadership is that management is concerned about structuring the organization and placing individuals in the right positions that are able to perform the functions of those duties and monitors the progress of the people's performance. Leadership motivates the people to understand the vision of the organization and to help them to move closer to that direction, and to help them rise above what obstacles that may stump them.

The qualities that I possess that would make me an effective leader are my ability to stay calm in certain situations and compassion for what I do. I think it is important to keep composure in certain situations. When people stay calm they are better able to control situations better and people are more likely to follow their lead. When lead people become frantic it makes their followers become frantic as well. My compassion would also make me an effective leader. In order to lead people the person leading should have compassion for what they are fighting for. I think it motivates people to see their leader really caring. For example, I am very passionate about the environment. When I talk to people about the
If you are interviewing for the job you always wanted and you are asked to describe your best leadership competencies and to discuss two ways you have demonstrated these qualities at work, how would you respond?
Leadership. Like all ideas leadership can be defined in a variety of different ways, and so it become challenge to choose just one way to word such a definition. To me a strong leader is one who can effectively develop an idea which they can they can then achieve by conveying this idea to others and motivating them to reach the goal with themselves. I have no doubt that I possess some of these qualities but certainly not all of them. I believe that I am quite strong at developing a process to reach to reach this said goal, and also at directing people to reach the goal by following my plan. At the same time I am aware of certain leadership skills that I lack. The most predominant one for me would most definitely be my difficulty in establishing
One of the most distinguishing leadership traits I have is the ability to instill some sense of passion to my team and hence leave in the team members a conviction and the will to move on. I also have the quality of listening to my team; in this case I listen carefully and consider various options to the issues raised before giving feedback. In essence, as a good leader, I involve everyone, give everyone responsibility according to their identified abilities and make everybody accountable; thus I am responsible for my actions and the actions of my followers. Another trait that distinguishes my leadership skills is the confidence I manifest. I communicate to my
