Leadership Class Group Task

In the past few weeks, we were assigned to create an understanding for a problem around the school. The trash, organization, and the care for facility has been a problem for many students. But the problem that we faced as a group was the effort of participation from classmates around the school. We collected data from all resources around the school, such as: faculty, student body, pictures of trash-concentrated area. We used our leadership abilities to succeed during this project by using group awareness; noticing if everyone is doing their part, and lastly focusing on the big picture to make a difference, which is helping the school being more aware of the care for the facility and have all students take part in help cleaning. But the most important thing that we used for or project was team work, we all filled in our parts, and we were aware if someone needed help through communication. This project helped us the value of team work and getting stuff done.

My next Steps

In the next year, I have big shoes to step in. I will be a junior on the football team, and a lot of senior captains have gone into college. Next year, I want to become a captain on the football team, because all teams have to have a team captain to be successful. I want to be a team captain because I want to our football team to be successful, again. The things that I learned in class that would help me become the best leader possible, is to be a resonant leader. As I saw examples of a resonant and a dissonant leader, I quickly realized that resonant leaders are the best possible. Being self-aware, and doing what you say you would do, helped me identify what a true leader should symbolize. But the one important thing about being a leader, is to make (or desire to) make a difference.

Resonant Leader

The way I would advise a leader to be resonant is to show by example, as in Gandhi, or any other fantastic leader in the past. The way a leader could learn is to learn off of other leaders experience, and to take a path in through their footsteps. That is the best way a leader can be the best resonant leader possible; observing others, learn from mistakes, and make a difference in a general cause. But you can't reach your goal to its highest standards if your not a resonant leader. To understand the surroundings and to listen to the community, and allow the ideas to flow through the room, can help any leader that is desiring to be successful, reach his/her goal. If your a leader who wants to get things done right, and for the best of all the community, you would be a resonant leader. If your a leader who cares to much about there ego and power, they would not get much effort from the community.
