Leadership In the Dark

Leadership in the dark means that a person must find their leadership qualities within themself and they all might be hidden by the world around. You take the time too do this when you go through life and find out what you are or what you want too be in life. Leaders aren't born leaders but they are born with the abilities that you must take the time and initiative too discover them. People may see some of the abilities but their are certain ones hidden within you, that people don't believe they are but if they believe they can gain those abilities

Guest Speaker Mr. Jepson

Last Thursday Mr. Jepson came into too be a guest speaker for our class. Mr. Jepson was one of my most inspiring teachers and I had him in 6th grade. He is a great leader in my mind because he took care of every student that he had and got them too trust him. He took a very good job in our high school, which needed a very good leadership role, because he wasn't the most experienced guy around. He proved too everyone that he can be trusted by not only students but the teachers and the staff of Williamsburg High School. He shared the concept of 90% of what happens to you is up too you and 10% is out of your hands for the day. I believe this is very true because when I get mad for the day for example if I yell at someone or I let a mistake for the day get into my head the day is ruined. The 10% is mostly on my fate for the day and everybody has this 10% for example you can't help if your car breaks down but what effects you after that is up too you.

What influences how I see things?

Everybody  could have something that influences them in a different way. Something that influences me is my love for music and the singers/bands that I listen too. I have listened to music everyday for a long time and will continue too. Why it influences me is because of the fact many songs have a meaning too them, whether it be about love, life, or different things that come up in a persons life. Different influences can last a short period or they could last a lifetime. Popular people in the world could have a big influence on someone but they aren't the only people that can. Many influences could be just someone who helps you out with anything you may need and them doing it without reward. The thing that influences me is when I see someone popular or anybody that will be willing too help out anybody, for example charities for a cancer cause. Many people have different influences and different ways of looking at influences

Bad Leaders and Negativity

Their can be many bad leaders out there the people who could be great but don't show any effort or positive attitude. This can bring down many different teams or any other groups that might have these people in it. If you are around negativity, like for example saying you can't do this or you won't win that game, then you will soon believe the same exact thing. If you are involved in this it is your job too make a change, by telling them that they are being bad leaders, try too motivate the team or group with positive action, or you can just try too take over as the team leader. Negativity is always a part of peoples life but its up too you too believe in what you can accomplish and try too take action in doing so.

Blog #5

In leadership class we had a guest speaker, the assistant principal, Mr. Hoffman. I thought it was very interesting about how he used too play for the Hawkeyes and the career path he chose too get too where he is at now. He talked about two different leadership concepts of character and competence. I figured out that my character is that I respect others, I'm respected by others, I love too help people out when they need it no matter who they are, and I can be a very hard worker when a time comes up. My competence is I have excelled in school on many different subjects, because I tend too have good grades. From this I learned that this would help out in my dream of being a physical therapist or someone who helps people with injuries. To do so I would need too become more socially interactive with people and learn too talk too everyone.

Personality File

In class we did a personality file on this paper by answering questions. From the outcome you could either be color red, blue, white, and yellow which made your personality based on motive, needs, and wants. In the end I had an even distribute between the colors blue, white, and yellow, but the most was on white. White means your motive is a peacemaker, your a person who doesn't hate, and gets along with everyone. I'm very good morally and I feel good inside, which makes me a very good loving person. I am allowed my own space, very respected, and have very high tolerance for people. My characteristics is kindness, independence, and contentment. I didn't know how accurate this test would be but I found it too be almost right on the dot. All of these characteristics fit my personality. I learned that my personality helps me too be a leader that can get along with anyone and I could be an effective communicator in whatever I want too do in my life.

Dreams

Everyone in the world has a dream and something they  want too become but you have too figure that out later on. This biggest question is how too you get this dream too become reality and what does it take.

 1. First it take a vision, actually dreaming it, maybe a purpose for this dream

 2. One of the most important steps is you must believe you can achieve.

 3.You must make goals for yourself (small goals) that is going too help you achieve this dream 

 

 3.Must take some failures in life too become successful but you must not give up

 

 4. Some type of recovery fix the problems and failures too become successful

 5. After you become successful you reach for new possibilities and help others reach their goals and dreams

If you follow these steps it will give you a good idea of what it takes too accomplish dreams and goals. Anyone can make there dreams become a reality but the hardest thing too do believe that you can do it.

Can a Leader Become a Hero?

In English class we have been doing things about what a hero is and reading about some important heroes whether myths or real people today. I had too find two articles about heroes on the news and found one on a guy who made homes for disabled war veterans and on who worked on making new electricity possibilities for Africa. I thought about can a leader become a hero and what does it take for a leader too become a hero. First off my definition of a hero was someone who inspires people in many ways and can make an effective change in the world. I believe anyone can become a hero but what they have too go through first is being an effective leader and they must need important leadership qualities. I believe a hero can be anyone in the world and doesn't mean you have too be a super-hero.

What leadership is too me

My definition of a leader is the ability too take a charge and make a change of the good. Too me I believe leadership is something that is picked up along in life and not something you are born with. Leaders can be anyone in the world and can become very good ones if they have something too work for in life. I believe leaders are found too help people, motivate people, make changes, and inspire the lives of others for a good cause in what they believe in. People have many different styles of leadership and some find it easier being a follower but you live life too find out what you want too do with that because their is a leader in everyone.
