During the past five weeks I have grown not only has a leader but as a Chief. I will share with you what classes and experiences impacted me the most. Two of these are classes, one being the LPI assessment it provided great insight in how I’m viewed by my subordinates, peers, and managers. The next was the generation’s class which gave me a different way of looking at my interactions with people younger and older than me. And lastly just talking to my fellow Chiefs in the class helped me grow and realize that there is a whole other Coast Guard out there. The LPI assessment was an eye opening look at how I’m viewed by subordinates, peers, and managers at achieving results and at my leadership style. What really stood out to me was how everyone viewed the job I was doing, I had great numbers from everyone expect from one person. That one person was myself, I was the hardest person on myself in just about every category. In the comment section of my assessment I received plenty of praise for the job I’m doing but a couple people mentioned I need to be more confident, after contemplating this for sometime it made perfect sense. I was to hard on myself, I’m doing some great things and people notice it. It’s time for me to realize that I’m doing a good job and carry myself accordingly. …show more content…
Each generation has unique reasons why they hold on to certain values. They all had distinct events and challenges they had to overcome in order to progress. And because of that they each respond differently to leadership and have preferred traits that they look for in leadership and interactions. Furthermore just because a certain generations require certain traits are no fault to them, they didn’t create the environment they were raised in. They are merely playing the cards they were
I also learned a valuable theory in class, which is EE (experience and exposure) I volunteer more now than I have ever volunteered in the past. I know that I will be a lieutenant before I retire. I also realize that God has a plan and if I would’ve been promoted three years ago my daughter would’ve been very young and that would’ve been a hardship on our family.
My appointment to General McLane’s LINK Crew is an amazing opportunity to gain leadership training and utilize it within my local community. LINK Crew is a faculty-appointed organization that utilizes forty driven juniors and seniors to help transfer students and incoming freshman become orientated to the high school culture and rules. Leaders act as student mentors for new kids by helping them find their classes, teaching them small life-lessons, and introducing them to faculty, teachers, and other new students. Each year, we go through over fifteen hours of training regarding leadership, public speaking, and communication skills in order to present to new students several times a year. We also act as leaders within sports, academic, extracurricular,
The self-assessment tests we had to take at the beginning of the semester reassured me that I was on the right path academically and career wise. I learned my interest areas are investigative and conventional match with my accounting career choice. My work values of achievement and relationships
Basically, I learned that it is crucial to take audacious steps when we see people in vulnerable situations. Additionally, it is very important for me to lead others by example, have a positive attitude even amid intense circumstances, work as a team, listen to others’ suggestions, articulate my vision to the team members, and encourage others. In addition, I learned that a leadership role has to be Christ centered and it needs to be a grace driven effort in lieu of self-seeking success. My previous experiences helped me to believe that a community of believers working together with servant-heart mindset can, definitely, transform the vulnerable societies.
Furthermore, I was able to relate and appreciate Chiefs in all ratings of the Coast Guard. I learned that all Chiefs, regardless of rate, face the same challenges as I have been experiencing as an IT. I have expanded my Chief network and grasp better understanding of the Chief mess. Chiefs in the Coast Guard play an important role in aligning unit vision and guiding principles towards shared Coast Guard’s Vision and Mission. It was a humble experience to see Navy Chiefs and Air Force Master Sergeants.
Chief: as per the conversation during our meeting, you asked me why I wanted to be a battalion chief (BC). In answer to your question, I have identified the following three reasons. 1. To take on new challenges by moving up in the organization. 2.

Max of 110 words each Leadership/group contributions: Describe examples of your leadership experience and share how you have significantly influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time. Consider responsibilities you have taken for initiatives in or out of school. I have been involved in my school’s Link Crew program since my junior year of high school. Through this program I have been able to help incoming freshmen adjust to the high school environment, and have gained skills in leadership and public speaking for myself. When I first joined Link Crew, I was not very confident in leading groups or talking to large groups in general.
By taking on leadership roles such as being president of environmental club and public relations of class council, I am a mentor to others all while sharing the same interests and providing opportunities for them to build their own character. Prior to this school year, I was fortunate enough to attend a weeklong event called Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, where I lived there for a week surrounded by young leaders from all over south jersey. In this experience, I learned that being a leader means being understanding of others and their situations. With this experience I was able to bring back what I learned to my own communities like environmental club. Not only do I have to be organize and communicative, but I also have to be a role model to members of a club by showing my own good character.
Personally for me, I didn’t realize how effectively I was able to handle the counseling session. I surprised at the fact that running a counseling session seemed to be second nature to me. This experience validated the fact that the academy secretly prepares you for tasks you never knew you were qualified to
They wanted to make their country great again and they were more concern on what they could do for the country and not what the country could do for them. This newer generation has a completely different view, their main concern is themselves. This generation is very narcissist because they are more concern on how many likes they get in their Instagram picture than real world problems. They are less involved in the community and clubs keep declining in members. This generation is narcissistic because they are greedy, most of them think that society owns them instead of them owing society.
By getting this position, I have gained confidence and leadership abilities I wouldn't have otherwise had. I've made memories and friends that will be there for the rest of my
When I read this prompt, I thought it was silly seeing as though I had completed the introductory memo just a few months ago. I did not think I would be able to tell anything about myself from reviewing a document I had written at the beginning of the semester. However, I was proved wrong. In the introductory memo, I wrote that my proudest achievement stemmed from the change that occurred within my high school’s color guard during the time that I was captain. Interestingly enough, two of my top five themes from the StrengthsFinder Survey are applicable to this example.
Through experience we develop and hone our leadership proficiency. I will set goals in the following three areas, to continue my growth and serve our team as a leader in the organization. 1. Leaders inspire commitment, and know they cannot command it. I will describe a compelling image of what our future could be like.
Through this course I’ve learned skills of how to lead and work as a unit with others. Also through moving through the ranks and this past year being the Alpha Company commander with the rank of Cadet Captain I learned how to take responsibility of the actions and deeds of my unit and myself. It also helped me to see that being on the top of the food chain with many below you at your command isn’t all fun and games it entails things like knowing if your company’s data is all squared away and if everyone is up to date, if they all have uniforms and if not when will they get them, and if they have them are they wearing them correctly, who's going to promotion board are they ready is their uniform squared away and things like
