Nowadays, teamwork is emphasized almost everywhere. When we are in college, individual tasks are less than that we have in high school, and there are more group activities which need several people to work together. When we graduate, teamwork seems more important as much work cannot successfully finished by only an individual any more. Since teamwork is so important in today’s world, there is a question left for us: in teamwork, whether we should be a group leader or be a group member. Although each group member plays an essential role in the group work, for me, I prefer to be a group leader because of the opportunities, and sense of achievement and personal value that I can get through being a group leader.

First, being a group leader makes you outstanding from the group members, and it’s easier for you to receive recognition. In addition, with the experience of being a team leader, you will have more opportunities. According to Forbes, nowadays, whether you can work well on a team, make decisions and solve problems are what employers care most when they are deciding which new college graduates to hire.

    My robotics team and myself had to work together to create a robot that would complete tasks specified by the First Tech Challenge. We had to work together to decide what we wanted to achieve, and create a design to accomplish those goals. In particular, I worked a lot with the other programmer on our team because we were both new to the process and had to teach each other, as well as ourselves, many aspects of programming. This helps to prove that I am able to work well with others, listening to what they have to say as well as sharing my own thoughts and ideas. I believe that a good leader is able to work with others as well as work alone.

    Although I do not have a position in leadership yet, I believe that leadership does not only apply to large-scale events, but group work and responsibility in oneself's own actions as well. To me, leadership does not mean that someone can boss the entire group around, but to create a positive relationship with peers. Being able to build trust among your associates is the fundamental base of a relationship with the people that will be part of your life, which is also an essential part of leadership. I decided to join STEM, which allowed me to understand my potential with leadership. During group projects, we would make decisions together as a group, instead of separate individuals arguing over what to do.

    Usually behind every great team there is a great leader leading the way. Rather it be the president of a country, or the manager of a convenient store, leaders pave the way to make sure everyone is successful. A great example of a leader is Odysseus. Odysseus was faced to save his men from the Lotus Eaters, he had to reap the repercussions of the men opening the air bags, and he was forced to take the fall for his men eating Hilo’s cattle. In my opinion, not only do they pave the way to ensure everyone’s success, but they also take on the responsibility of the actions of the people they supervise, and here’s how.
