Personal Narrative : My Leadership Experience

One afternoon staff set up a bubble station outside, where children could use their own independents to pour bubbles into containers and blow as many bubbles as they wanted with all different kinds of bubble wands. Staff came over to the bubble station and Charlie, Orlando, and Caroline said “ashley we need something flat to put the bubbles in.” We went and found a flat container to put bubbles. They started to use the bigger bubble wands. Then they created their own way to blow bubbles. Using their hands they made circles with their finger and then place then into the flat container to get the bubble on their hands and started to blow the bubbles. The bubbles they were making were huge. I could tell how excited and proud they were when they asked me to keep watching

While this week long event was fun as a kid, its information doesn’t affect most kids later on in life. The program’s methods and efforts began to go unnoticed.

I believe that leaders must accept the crucibles and acid test so that they can identify their value, and accomplish their great dream and tough missions. As the author of the “Crucibles of leadership” mentioned that leaders should equip with the following essential skills, namely, “engage others in shared meaning, a distinctive, compelling voice, integrity, and adaptive capacity.1 We know how these essentials important, however, we don’t understand how to obtain these elements as well as how to employ them, because the overconfidence always blind us. Thus, people who desire to become the leaders need to go through the crucible test.

My selection into Leadership Rutherford would bring unity to the program and our region from my communication skills, my confidence in our county, and my positive attitude. My pride and love for our community will help to fuel the work that is presented to me from Leadership Rutherford and will allow my natural leadership tendencies to shine. During tasks that give me the opportunity to work with others, I listen with the intent to answer their questions and guide us in the correct direction; if accepted into Leadership Rutherford, I would help to continue to guide our county in the correct direction. Whenever I am out of the country and people ask where I am from, I proudly state "Rutherford County." Rutherford County is not only my birthplace,

As a supportive B.A.S.E. Leader, I participated in Frog Hollow's Halloween Carnival, B.A.S.E. kick-off - an event in which B.A.S.E. leaders lead, support, and have fun with incoming grade eights, and B.A.S.E. lunches - a weekly event for grade eights that B.A.S.E. leaders supervise, and clean up afterwards. In fact, one of my most memorable experiences include the time when a shy kid, named Spencer, was eating all alone during a B.A.S.E. lunch that I was supervising. Hence, I decided to have a welcoming conversation with him, and introduce him to some of the other grade eights in the room because from my experience in the past as a shy kid, I would've greatly appreciated it if someone had introduced, and welcomed me to other kids as well. In

Communication is key to the success and failure of most everything that we do, and that

Over the past two summers I have done quite a bit. In the summer of 2013-14 I went to the Summer leadership Academy. SLA is a one week boot camp for AFJROTC cadets. With approximately 10 schools including Dickinson high school. I was appointed guidon bearer. We woke up at 0430 and went to the field for PT, and had breakfast at 0600.throughout the rest of the day we did several activities from navigation class to the marksmanship course. At the end of boot camp I was awarded the Spirit award and Distinguished graduate award. In the summer of 2014-15 I stayed home to help my cousin in his home repairs. From redoing some of his deck to building a shed. We also worked on his car changing the oil, brakes, rotors, spark plugs

This day was busy, but I was able to help out more by checking patients in and checking them out this time around. Felt a lot more comfortable with the system and interacting with the clients and their pets. This was my last day working in the front, I enjoyed working with Leonore and the rest of the staff in the front but, I am very excited to work in the back to get hands on experience working with the technician’s and the doctor’s.

The children will review the elements of art, specifically focusing on shape. They will be encouraged to identify the various shapes in Paul Klee Conqueror. Also the children will be introduced to my own original art that represents the element of shape. Together we will review the various shapes that are observed and have a discussion. For instance, we will discuss Klee’s use geometric and dramatic shapes. Then the children will be asked to make their own creation inspired by Paul Klee Conqueror. As they engage in the activity we will discuss the shapes they observe in their artwork.

My leadership Mythology and influence originates from military training, reading and mimicking others using some but not all prominent biography’s relevant to people’s traits or actions, as well as proven doctoral guide develop by the us government. I would suggest that leadership and also the understanding of this process via written words continues to be overlooked. Over time I have gravitated to resembling other past great leader’s self-concepts that they might have lead, which telling the existence story or areas of leadership behavior. To illustrate the existence-story approach, in this short paper I offer my own personal leadership

During my Educational leadership Program I have gain so much new knowledge about school administration, laws, and situations that I have kept myself looking for additional information which helps me on a daily base in y work as an aspiring leader in my worksite. I have learn to ask the necessary questions and to make suggestions about daily challenges that could be overcome with a different approach.

The gifts, motives, role, likes and dislikes as a religious leader after serving in my supervised ministry setting are vast due to having two different settings in which I served. The first half was as a spiritual leader within a role of chaplaincy at Morristown Medical Center. The other half of the year was in my role of Local Licensed Associate Pastor which was appointed to me by the Bishop of the Greater New Jersey Conference. Each of the positions I held had both positive and negative experiences. I can honestly say I have learned something from all of them.

For the duration of this Intermediate Leadership Experience (ILE) the five concepts that stood out to me most are the dehumanized climate from Interpersonal Communication, the Contemporary Motivation Model from Leader Influence, Ethical Dilemmas used in Military Ethics from Leadership and Followership, Discipline Model (DM) Arena 1- Prevention from Leader Influence on Subordinate Behavior, and from Effective Negotiations the Who, Stakes, and Situation concept. These concepts standing out lets me know that I am still developing as a leader. To define myself as specific leader or with a specific style, I would say that I’m adaptable. These concepts also let me know that regardless of what I already know there is always something to learn

Scattered all over the hardwood floor were the pieces of my favorite puzzle: the 100-piece Melissa & Doug “Under the Sea” floor puzzle. I glanced at the “masterpiece” that I had just created, and I could vaguely detect a sunny sky and three dolphins below the surface of an azure ocean. It had taken me twenty minutes to assemble only ten pieces. When I looked at my aunt Puja, she was scrutinizing her puzzle pieces through the thick lenses of her glasses. With her short, stubby fingers, she deftly connected them into a recognizable image. She then paused, in deep concentration, with her tongue protruding from her slightly agape mouth. Within the same amount of time, she had assembled almost half of the puzzle! I was amazed by her skill.

I recall a time when I was sitting in bible study and our senior pastor was sharing how leaders dropped the ball in follow-up. Apparently he just so happened to have asked some returning visitors if anyone in the congregation had greeted or called them. He said, “To his surprise was when the visitor turned to him and said no.”
