Leadership Observed
In the teaching profession, it is important that teachers are good leaders in order to be effective. One way teachers have to be good leaders is by setting an example they want their students to follow. My history teacher, Mr. Messman is always present and punctual, ready to start class on time, with the expectation of us to do the same. Another way they need to be leaders is in inspiring and motivating students. The teacher in popular movie School of Rock is inspiring to his students in teaching them the love for music and making them have a passion for it themselves, so even when he didn't have faith in them, they had faith in themselves. Lastly, teachers (like leaders) have to know when to be stern and put their put down. Although some people don't like the strict algebra class of my teacher Mr. Bowman, his firm behavior is the way we can work through everything we have to learn, and get our work done as we're supposed to.
My Leadership in Action
I am looking to improve my leadership skills by trying to be more outgoing to others, and take control or leadership over situations when necessary. As volleyball captain I am supposed to be a role model to my team mates, and set an example to them by working hard in practice and always staying positive! I am also section leader in choir, and it is helpful as I can get to know people in my section and help others around me, especially the freshman who have less experience in the things we do.
