Critical and reflective thinking
During my time in leadership for this semester, I have volunteered for a couple events at and outside of school (Terry Fox Run Mundy, reading buddies, and school games). I have come to realize what skills and qualities I possess and those that I am lacking in. Qualities that I obtained during leadership were being an active listener. A successful leader should be able to give but also receive feedback. This is an important quality, as it is important to talk but at the same time listen to other options. This way, more thoughts are added together, giving a better result for the situation than one idea. Currently, I am part of the SLC Ambassador program, where groups are to come up with an idea to help our community. Me and my partner decided on doing the a career fair possible for our project, as it will be beneficial to those who struggle with future career planning. At the moment, it is still not garnered, but we have discussed the main problems and equipment needed for this event.
One of the qualities that I would like to develop is flexibility. To develop flexibility, one must know how to adapt and accept changes. Start by making a plan B for different situations and adopting a mindset that views challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. Practice stepping outside your comfort zone. Though I have not yet encountered a situation like this, I believe I would not be as helpful because these types of situations are more likely to stress me out. Another way that I can develop this quality is by volunteering for outside school events, as those are more likely to get into an unsettling situation. That way, I can get hands-on experience on how to solve an issue.
one important skill that all successful leaders should posses team building skills. it is an estal to have this skill because without a positive team that looks out for one another, identifying the strengths of individual team numbers. Individuals in a group are more willing to communicate honestly and collaborate effectively when they feel confident, connected, and aware of each other’s strengths and shortcomings. Through the promotion of friendships, team building exercises allows individuals to form relationships that go beyond their work responsibilities. This relationship creates deeper understanding, better communication, and a sense of purpose that is shared by everyone involved, all of which are necessary for productive teamwork. Additionally, team-building activities frequently emphasize the value of cooperation in general, motivating people to.
a skill that I would like to develop crisis management. to start understanding potential risk is vital to have a plan for other events. knowing how to stay calm and collective during these complicating times. A proficient crisis management plan gives stability in the face of unknown challenges by providing a way through unclear situations. It’s not only about taking action when necessary; it’s about preparing ahead of time and acting quickly and in concert. Efficient handling of crises requires logical decision-making, quick reactions, and a strong approach to accessibility. It is an equal amount of anticipation, awareness, and flexibility, showcasing an organization’s ability to bounce back from setback.
