Hello! You know leadership is one of those words that stimulates many different thoughts and feelings. Some of these thoughts and feeling are found in how you lead or view your own self. When it comes down to it, I think it takes a whole lot of yourself to know yourself. It's quite interesting because I never envisioned myself as a strong leader. More and more though, I hear "through the grapevine" (as the saying goes) of how great my leadership and accomplishments are progressing from friends and family. Those little boosts of compliments push me more and more to fill a leadership role and who knows? I could also be changing some lives for the better with that role as well!
How do I lead though?
Currently, I have to be honest here, I'm still don't have an extremely clear view. While my leadership skills are still developing, I can give little insight on how I at least think I operate.
There's a word call empower. Taken directly fromt the dictionary, it says "to equip or supply with an ability". I put this word to action a lot. It doesn't matter if you're a leader of a big compnay or small student activity. Empowering others is what it's about (or at least should be about). If you're a leader or at least want to be a leader, you're making changes in people's lives. You leading them to greater things. Therefore, you need to be able to supply them what they need to get from poor to great. In this world today, there are too many examples of different people being put down for all sorts of reasons. I believe and follow just the opposite. I try to empower all the time. Empowering should be used through wisdom and strenth while using your team as just that...a team.
Inclusfulness is another word that hits home. I'm a teenager and I know how it feels to be out of the loop. In any team, I run things by making sure everyone has each other's back. There are no enemies if everyone is always there for one another. To feel included is a great feeling that everyone needs to experience really.
There are some cases that I'll need help with.
Purposeful, ethics, and process. Three words that I'll need to work on for now...
