“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality”, this is a famous quote from Warren Bennis. I agree with him fully because leadership is more then what it seems to be on TV or how it’s portrayed in history and that’s what being in this class has taught me. I’ve learned that there is no one way to lead and that it is more important to develop a philosophy of leadership to guide yours actions. People tend to look at me as an anti-social person but I just like to keep to myself, in this class I’ve learned how to take action instead of being quiet. I found it in myself to always express how I feel and remain true to myself. This is one of those classes that are more than just a credit; I say that because I feel that I changed as a person and that my views on my work, society or life in general has changed. I would typically run away from problems or even give up but now I feel that the best way to overcome something isn’t to avoid it but to attack it head on. We define leadership as a relational and ethical process of people together attempting to accomplish positive change. While going over the book I read a passage that said Relationships are the key to leadership effectiveness. I argue with this 100 percent in order to be an effective leader you have to build a certain rapport with your followers. The relational leadership model involves being ethical, empowering and inclusive. My way of being a leader is trying to get people to be influenced by me; I want to lead by example. I realized that being able to connect with people would be a better way to influence them. When people can really see your goals and achievements and get empowered from it; it’s mainly because of a certain connection you have with them. Working on our last project was like the final test without it really being called a test. Throughout the semester I thought doing this project is just a whole lot of work for nothing but now I see that it
