Cheer Leading Captain Leadership Position
Throughout much of my time at high school I held many leadership positions. I was cheer-leading captain my junior year as well as class president. My senior year I was captain of the varsity tennis team while also working two jobs to afford college. I'm comfortable in nearly any situation including activities that are highly exertive or more intellectual.
My talents include scheduling and managing time well while also keeping a smooth flow to the task. My communication skills have improved tremendously since coming college and I love talking with people and better understanding them. Being awarded a position at this camp is a privilege and if I were selected I would be a stunning asset to the counseling team through my commitment to guiding

    Dance Team Captain

    The term captain is synonymous with the term leader. By definition, a leader is someone who is in an advanced position to take the initiative in order to go forth and show the way. A dance captain should be able to make intelligent and creative decisions quickly and efficiently. Dance teams are all about unity. An exceptional group glides across the floor with all of its dancers moving as one. There are no individual standouts. No weak links. But there is one person whose job is to make the team as strong as possible, on the floor and off. It’s one thing to be a good team player, but it's another to be a good captain. Few will have the opportunity to feel the weight of the responsibilities and the happiness of knowing you're making a difference. Being captain of any type of organization in my eyes is a huge job. It’s teaching respect by showing respect. It’s helping 11 girls, including myself, strive and push themselves to be the best dancers I know we all can be. Having the title of captain doesn’t mean being the boss of everyone, being in the front in every dance, or just thinking that the captain should come before everyone else. Captains are the inspiration of the team. They’re the person that everyone on the team looks up too. Being a natural born leader is also a big role of dance team. That means having self-confidence, good communication skills, courage, clear desire to make progress towards a goal, and a fair degree of understanding your fellow teammates. Being a captain requires you to focus on the big picture, doing what’s best for your team even on your worst days. If you’re negative, the team will take on the same attitude, even if everyone else has had a great day. As captain of your dance team, you’ll definitely encounter some sticky situations, like having to confront your friends when they aren’t practicing full-out or telling an injured teammate that she’ll have to sit out a performance. But it’s…

    Leadership is a lifestyle, not a role one adopts. Leadership requires strength and power, but also the ability to empathize and recognize others' needs. As a high school student, I have had many opportunities to be a leader, whether it be through clubs, group projects, or extracurricular activities. During my Junior year, I assistant directed the play Steel Magnolias under the eye of my drama teacher as well as a college student director. This role allowed me to learn the ropes of directing as well as take care of the six girls cast in the show.

    NJROTC Reflective Report

    During high school, I committed most of my free time to my NJROTC unit and my 4-H club. In both of these organizations, community service, leadership, citizenship, and initiative are indispensable values that are essential to their functioning, and I like to think I have learned to embody these traits. In 4-H, I have attended, and then went on to teach, numerous leadership and group trainings. In NJROTC, I attended the Area 5 Leadership Academy, graduated as the Second Honor Cadet of the 2014 Academy, and was selected to be an Aide for the 2015 Academy.

    Why I Would Be An Asset To National Honor Society

    Before I was a more reserved and quiet leader, but now I have grown into the person I am today. I am not afraid to take on more substantial leadership roles. Through my work with SADD Club, the Ambassador Program, and especially the Diversity Team I have opened up to those leadership roles. I have shown the moderators of these clubs that not only am I responsible, punctual, and organized, but I am also willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. I am always prepared and more than happy to help others.…

    AEM Major Personal Statement

    I am a great leader and throughout my high school career I have taken every opportunity I could to display this. For three out of my four years I have participated as a Muskoka Woods Leader. This required me to spend a week at a summer camp at which I would lead a group of grade 7s through a series of fun activities. Being a leader at this camp wasn't always fun and games though. I had encountered many situations with the grade 7s in which I would have to improvise and apply my knowledge of leadership to sort out. For example, during one of our games we would play, there was a little boy who was sitting off on the side not participating. I went over to talk to the boy to find out what was wrong. When I found out that he didn't understand how to play the game I knew exactly how to fix it. I brought him over to a corner and me and him played our own little one on one version of the game. I taught him how to play and I played with him until he was finally ready to join the other grade 7s. As well as being a Muskoka Leader, in my grade 11 year, I was a Link Leader for my high school. This was different from being a Muskoka Leader because this time I was working with grade 9 students who were entering high school. Throughout the year I worked with the grade 9s giving them secret tips and tricks about how they could survive their freshman year of high…

    Superleadership

    Superleadership

    As I interpret, a super leader is a person who creates self-managed work teams by using coaching and teaching methods rather than authority and dictation. Self-management is the opposite of micro-management and is comparatively much more effective. In my essay I’ll try to provide the arguments why self-management is better by showing the example from my personal experience. Micro-management is about treating employees as lazy and controlling them all the time. As a result, the employees get discouraged and not dedicated to achieving the organization’s goals. Micro-management is much worse than self-management, because employees will undermine the reputation of the company by telling others how bad it is to work there. It’s not beneficial for the leaders to use a dictator hierarchy, because employees will be prone to betraying the company by disclosing some information to competitors. Employers will also lose their qualified staff if they treat them this way.…
