Personal Leadership
As I embark on a new trail of my journey, or rather, reconnect with a trail I strayed away from a while back, I am faced with the truth of who is leading my path. I have always thought I was leading my own path. Now that I have re-entered my graduate studies program in Education and am taking a course focused on personal leadership, I am learning some new things about myself and how I am traveling the road.
As with many new endeavors, in the beginning, we want to project our hopes and set goals for achievement. From this course on personal leadership, I hope to learn the specific strengths I have that line up with being an effective leader. I know I have some and I know I have used them in different situations, but I hope I can better define these strengths and understand how to best use them on a regular basis. If I can identify these strengths and how they pertain to me as an individual, I will be able to practice them in more situations, thus recognizing the versatility and impact my leadership can have in my daily life.
I am also hoping to gain from this course a solid understanding of certain obstacles I may be more susceptible to as a leader (i.e. self-punishment). One area of challenge that I have in regard to leadership is being more easily influenced by those around me than by my own inner guide. Knowing what may be a challenge to our growth will only help us in overcoming such obstacles.
I know I have some work ahead of me in regard to growing my leadership skills. They have been at some really strong levels in the past, but different things in life sometimes throw us off course. Recognizing our mistakes, downfalls, and limitations is the first step on the road to rising above and beyond. I am looking forward ...
